The first teaser for Remedy Entertainment’s upcoming action adventure game, Control 2, has been revealed via the Lake House DLC for Alan Wake 2.
Alan Wake 2 The Lake House is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, Microsoft Windows, and fans have already discovered a teaser for Remedy Entertainment’s next single-player title, Control 2, hidden in the DLC.
The teaser features Control protagonis Jesse Faden’s brother, Dylan Faden, also known in the original game as Prime Candidate 6 or P6. He is seen trapped inside a chamber. He notes that something has changed and asks the Alan Wake 2 The Lake House protagonist to give Jesse his message. In his message to his sister, Dylan is seen saying, “I tried”. The trailer also shows several scenes from what appear to be areas players will get to explore in Control 2. Going by the locales shown during the teaser, it seems that players will be visiting places outside of the Oldest House, the FBC’s paranormal headquarters.
Previously, in its half year financial report for the period of January, 2024, to June, 2024, Remedy Entertainment had revealed that Control 2 had reached the “production readiness” phase of its development. It was also mentioned that the development team had achieved a significant milestone by delivering a build that showcased several key features in playable form, which had facilitated ongoing business negotiations. At the time, the team was focused on scaling up the project’s production.
Remedy Entertainment is known for teasing its future titles in its existing releases, as they are all part of its Connected Universe. Alan Wake 2 was similarly teased in Control’s AWE DLC. Prior to the former’s release, creative director Sam Lake had stated that the way the studio approaches its Connected Universe, very little is by coincidence. According to him, fans of both Alan Wake and Control will be surprised by the amount of connection points between both IPs.
