Control 2, the sequel to developer Remedy Entertainment’s eerie game will be an action-RPG. This was shared during Remedy’s Capital Market day on November 19, alongside additional details to Control’s Mac support and an upcoming free update.
Action-RPG might conjure the image of a game like Diablo, but it doesn’t sound as if Remedy is straying greatly from the formula of the first Control. In a statement to GameSpot, the developer expanded on the news: “Let people speculate, but suffice to say, Control 2 is a natural continuation to the first game, holding on to key tenets of storytelling and spectacle, but leaning even further into player agency, exploration and RPG mechanics.”
Elsewhere in the investor video, Remedy said that the sequel is being made to appeal to a wider audience, but didn’t elaborate exactly on what this means for the game. In addition, Control will receive a free update in early 2025, which will unlock “some previously released content.”
