Like Control, Alan Wake, and even Quantum Break, the studio’s next project will also be part of the “Remedy Connected Universe”.
With the launch of Control’s AWE expansion, Remedy is debuting its Remedy Connected Universe “crossover events”, explains studio boss Sam Lake – although those of you who’ve played those other games will know that everything has been connected the entire time. But now it’s official, and a new game is in development.
For over 10 years, we’ve had a crazy dream. The idea that the tales told in some of our games would be connected to each other, a connected world of stories and events with shared characters and lore. Each game is a stand-alone experience, but each game is also a doorway into a larger universe with exciting opportunities for crossover events.
Slowly, patiently, behind the scenes, we’ve been planning and plotting to make this a reality. I’m absolutely thrilled to tell you that now, the time has come to take the first concrete step on this road, establishing Remedy Connected Universe. You have no idea how happy it makes me to be able to finally make this statement.
What took place in 2010 in Alan Wake is one of the cases that the Federal Bureau of Control has been investigating. The AWE expansion is the first official Remedy Connected Universe crossover event, bringing more Alan Wake lore into Control.
And this is still just a humble beginning. We’re already hard at work on a future Remedy game that also takes place in this same universe.
The Control AWE expansion launches on 27 August.
