Remedy’s Control Is Getting A Spin-Off Called Codename Condor

Developer Remedy’s past third-person mind-bending shooter Control is getting a co-op multiplayer spin-off.

It’s called Codename Condor, and it is the company’s first step towards service-based games with an initial development budget of US$27.1 million. The game will be out for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, as it’s set to go into full production this year. Here is the game’s official description in the company’s annual financial report.

“After the Hiss Invasion, the Oldest House is under lockdown: a boiling pot of volatile and dangerous supernatural forces. Trapped within is the last vestige of the Federal Bureau of Control who will need to take a stand and push back to regain control. Desperate times require desperate measures. And everyone’s needed.

The Control franchise is larger than one story, or one character. With codename Condor, we invite players on a collective journey into the depths of the Oldest House. Within, they’ll face overwhelming enemies and obstacles, but by relying on their gear and each other, they will have a chance for survival. These are premium games that may have a lower initial price point but a long tail of revenue through updates, game expansions and potentially microtransactions.”

Codename Condor will be a “service-based fixed price” game, not a free-to-play title. It also won’t be out for a while, so do play Alan Wake 2 in the meantime. It is the most recent Remedy game that is highly acclaimed, after all.
