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.

Great trailer and the hype started nicely. Hopefully, the Remedyverse is hammered with a customizable sledgehammer into the black hole at the beginning of the trailer, and after Max Payne, we get something other than smoke orcs in dim lighting. Hopefully, the gameplay is polished to perfection here, and the story is left in the background. Remedy knows how to develop a great world, but for my taste, it gets so out of hand that at some point, I lose interest. Especially in Control. The AW2 story kept my interest, but the scariest part was the clunky gameplay in action sequences. Resonant was a positive surprise, but I wasn’t fully enthusiastic because it’s set in the Remedyverse’s Control world and isn’t its own separate story.

I will probably play this. Like most Remedy games. But compared to my expectations, the predominant feeling was disappointment. Perhaps most visually, which is on the same level as AW2. Whereas Control → AW Remastered → AW2 was a clear and big change, it doesn’t seem to be that way from AW2 → Control Resonant. The gameplay also makes me wonder; I’m more of a fan of shooting than melee attacks. From its trailer, it’s weaker for me than AW2. It’s hard to believe the story will be better than AW2. Somehow it still feels like a heavy thought to jump into the same Remedy-verse again, but that’s just a personal opinion. The same shadow smoke creatures are encountered from one release to another. Remedy would need the ability to create something new, but it’s difficult for a small game studio to succeed at that, as we’ve already seen. Additionally, AW2 gave me some gray hairs in the form of DLC, similar to Control. For example, I couldn’t bring myself to finish them in Control or AW2. I don’t see much added value for the player in them; they become available too late. The story has already ended; I don’t want to reopen it with any side plot half a year later, with gameplay mechanics I’ve already forgotten. I won’t be buying it anymore. I’ve been waiting for Max Payne for a long time, having played them through when I was young, but now I’m starting to fear that Remedy won’t be able to take the game to a new level, as seems to be happening with Resonant. Mainly, I’m afraid that Remedy’s game engine will ruin what Max Payne once was. Ultimately, I believe this will remain primarily a fan product; it’s hard to believe it will achieve anything close to AW2’s sales level. But an investor can certainly make money with this once the anticipation game begins.

In my opinion, this doesn’t really matter to an investor whether the game is ultimately good or not. The hype train has now started big time and the game will be released in a year, so this looks like a pretty good buy the rumors sell the news-style momentum investment. So the playbook is to go boldly back to buying by Monday at the latest, and then in late 2026, one can reconsider whether to exit the investment and whether the game looks like it’s going to be anything when more gameplay footage is seen, or if one dares to own the stock even after the release of Control 2. Of course, it would have been smarter to anticipate the Game Awards by taking a speculative ownership in Remedy, but there’s still time to get in. The share price, by all accounts, will be significantly higher than it is now closer to the release, as Max Payne is also just around the corner. My longer-term view on Remedy is still bearish, but it does seem like an opportunity is opening up to take easy profits. My own thoughts, not an investment recommendation, make your own investment decisions carefully, etc.

Yes, the hype from Asmongold (4+ million followers) and other big YouTubers/social media influencers really does have an effect on generating interest in the game. And the trailer certainly looked great visually.

Even Asmongold praised the trailer, so it can only be top-notch  But seriously, it certainly looks good, and gameplay will surely determine its success - the framework is in order. A bold move to revamp the concept, but it can also bring in new fans if it succeeds.

That trailer was really nice to watch. It seems to have already gathered a lot of viewers and positive comments

That was indeed a great first trailer. You can immediately see that these main games are what Remedy truly invests in, and then there are the Firebreaks and other side projects… The game mechanics are changing significantly, as (it seems) the gunplay is being left out. Quite risky given Remedy’s background, but hopefully it’s the right solution.

We believe that Remedy's current market cap of about EUR 350 million already prices good success for Alan Wake 2 to be released on October 17, 2023, and the other projects in the production pipeline are also expected to generate value. 

<p>We believe that Remedy's current market cap of about EUR 350 million already prices good success for Alan Wake 2 to be released on October 17, 2023, and the other projects in the production pipeline are also expected to generate value. We are particularly confident in the success of the traditional AAA game projects under development, whereas the multiplayer projects Condor and especially Vanguard are the biggest question marks at this point. All in all, we consider Remedy’s equity story to be very interesting until the end of this decade, but the increased short-term valuation suggest you should press pause on your game controller in terms of additional purchases. </p>
