Move fast and break things
Remedy’s next game,Control, has been quite the enigma since its E3 2018 reveal. There’s a giant supernatural government building, an “otherworldly” alien antagonist, all sorts of reality-breaking physics quandaries.We spent an hour looking atControllast summer, but it’s still shrouded in layers and layers of mystery.
That veil will be lifted shortly. In an interview withGame Informer, Remedy has confirmed thatControlwill release this summer. That’s vague but it probably affords a three-month window — June through August — whenControlcould feasibly launch.
This might be a best-case scenario forControl. Remedy’s last two major games suffered because of stuffed release dates.Quantum Breakwas sandwiched by the launch of Oculus Rift andDark Souls III;Alan Wakewas infamously stifled by debuting on the same day asRed Dead Redemption. Maybe the summer will be quiet enough thatControlcan make some noise.
