Control 2 has been officially announced.

With the official announcement of Control 2 this week by Remedy Entertainment and 505 Games, another Control game is now in production. The statement that revealed the platforms it will be playable on, the engine it will be built in, and other facts about the original game, which was launched back in 2019, also included the first details regarding the sequel.

Remedy Entertainment stated in their release that Control 2 is now in the idea stage, so it does appear like it will be some time before Control fans can play the sequel.

Control 2 will undoubtedly abandon the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 when it does launch because it will be accessible on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms. That’s bad news for console owners who haven’t upgraded yet, but at least it guarantees there won’t be any upgrading disasters this time.

“We are excited to deepen our cooperation with Remedy and continue the success story of Control together,” said Rami and Raffi Galante, co-CEOs of Digital Bros Group/505 Games. “Since its launch in 2019, Control has sold over 3 million copies. Control is the biggest investment 505 Games has ever made, so it has a special place in our hearts. We are grateful to the whole player community that has made Control such a long-lasting and loved the game, and are even more excited to bring out Control 2.”

Additionally, Remedy attested that Control 2 is the same game that the developer had previously referred to as Codename Heron. This follow-up will be developed using the Northlight engine, with 505 Games handling console publishing and Remedy handling the PC release.
