Remedy has shared new details about Codename Condor, its co-op multiplayer Control spin-off.
Billed as the studio’s “first step towards service-based games”, the title has an initial development budget of €25 million ($27.1m).
Built onRemedy‘s in-house Northlight engine, it’s set to enter full production this year forPC,PS5andXbox Series X/S.
“After the Hiss Invasion, the Oldest House is under lockdown: a boiling pot of volatile and dangerous supernatural forces,” Remedy said of the game in its annual financial report.
“Trapped within is the last vestige of the Federal Bureau ofControlwho 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,” it continues. “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.”
Remedy also confirmed that Condor will be a “service-based fixed price” game rather than a free-to-play title.
“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,” it said.
