Remedy Entertainment is a game developer. Its operations are primarily focused on the development of action games, with a particular focus on 3D technology. Examples of games that the company has developed include several different versions of Alan Wake, Max Payne, and Control. Remedy also develops its own game engine and tooling technology that powers many of its games. The company was founded in 1995 and is headquartered in Espoo, Finland.

Well, I was thinking about that RPG element. The things you mentioned were already done in the first Control. I don’t remember if all of them were included, but almost. The point was that there probably won’t be a huge change. They won’t go very far from what has been done before.

Related to this, from Kasurinen’s interview  Despite the developer’s relative inexperience with melee combat games, Kasurinen says they are confident in their work.   “We know what the competition is, and we feel we’re going to be very competitive on that front, so expect combat to be good,” he remarked. “It has a lot of versatility, a lot of choices, a lot of agency for the player, a lot of inventive ways you can fight.”    Actually, the answer to this is also from the same interview   “This is not a Soulslike game. I want to be very clear about that,” he asserted when the moniker was brought up.

I understood the genre to be action RPG, meaning not necessarily conversations but something like Diablo or Dark Souls style? So, you collect experience points, unlock new abilities for the character by choosing from “skill tree” options, and upgrade equipment and weapons. Well, these were my own conclusions based on the trailer, and it remains to be seen what it actually turns out to be.

Most likely, Q4 will have a very empty release calendar, at least for November-December, due to GTA and CoD. October will probably also be quiet, at least for the latter half of the month. Perhaps a game from Nintendo might still fit alongside CoD and GTA, but other publishers will likely avoid a Q4 release until the very last minute, preferring to postpone their games until next year. Regarding the release calendar, I would also comment that not much is known about it at this stage. The dates for a couple of big releases for the end of the year are known: GTA, CoD always comes out in November, and some Chinese ninja game, which is unlikely to be a very significant release for Westerners. Otherwise, it’s quiet. These are often held back for various announcement events. Remedy will probably reveal the date at some event in May-June. There are risks, of course, in that if everyone wants to release in August-September, there will be very tough competition there too. However, that risk is difficult to avoid. The game is unlikely to be ready before autumn. In terms of genre, I wouldn’t say there’s that much new here. What is the RPG aspect here then? Probably slightly more meaningful options in conversations, based on which the outcomes vary slightly. Probably quite superficially, and that’s perfectly fine; the illusion of choices is essential. Perhaps also slightly more versatile character development. Melee combat as a form of fighting is certainly new for Remedy.

Whatever Remedy decides to do, the launch must not be anywhere near the GTAVI release. I wouldn’t release anything in the summer, but would target some August-September, when we are still a couple of months from GTA’s launch date and thus won’t be drowned out by it. Of course, I haven’t checked now if there’s any other big AAA game coming around that time, but to my understanding, nothing hyped is coming.

I dreamt that Control Resonant will be released in December, only after the release of GTA VI, and most of the cash flows would therefore only materialize in 2027. My subconscious is therefore very skeptical about that Q2 end release forecast. Remedy historically has a desire to furiously focus on release details right up until the last minute, because so much of the company’s future depends on the release of a single game, and specifically on early-stage comments, reactions, and media coverage. Furthermore, as this is a new kind of opening for Remedy in terms of genre, it will certainly take time for developers to learn and fine-tune with Northlight.

The release of Control Resonant towards the end of Q2 will, in my own estimation, be quite challenging to achieve. Of course, the start of marketing at TGA could in a way indicate this, providing a solid six-month marketing campaign. With this Q2 release, on the other hand, the assumed sales from 2026 are quite conservative. By a rough calculation, the expectations for Control Resonant’s 2026 sales would be roughly 1.2 - 1.5M units. This is quite close to AW2’s sales pace, which was 1.3M units in just over 3 months from release.
