A little over a year ago, Remedy Entertainment, who developed well-received narrative-heavy titles such as Control and Alan Wake, announced that they had struck a two-game publishing deal with Epic Games.
Since then, we haven't heard much about the said partnership. At least, until now.
Having finally finished their work on Control, which included releasing two post-game expansions, Remedy Entertainment is starting to talk more about their upcoming titles.
In particular, the two titles will be funded and published by Epic Games. Remedy Entertainment CEO Talks About Titles in Development https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JyaLVIKOMQ In a recent interview, Remedy Entertainment's Chief Executive Officer, Tero Virtala, talked openly about any future titles that they are currently working on. He explained that the Finnish studio is currently working on a total of five projects split across four teams. This includes the two titles that will be backed and published by Epic Games.
Furthermore, Vitala confirmed that both Epic-funded titles will take place in the Remedy Connected Universe.
The Remedy Connected Universe was not formally acknowledged for the better part of the past two decades. Outside of some hints and easter eggs, most believed that Remedy's games were set in their own respective universes. However, in August 2020, the second expansion for Control, AWE, proved that this was not the case.
The said expansion connected Remedy's most recent title, Control, with one of their older titles, 2010's Alan Wake. Thus, it served as the first formal crossover between Remedy's games.
