Remedy has provided a few updates on its games currently in development, including Alan Wake 2, Control 2, and the Max Payne remakes, and has revealed that the developer will launch a new game per year starting from 2023.

According to Virtala, Alan Wake 2 "will soon have all content in place, and it is playable from start to finish. We will then move on to polishing the experience. Alan Wake is a unique brand that holds high value for the company today." Interestingly Virtala then goes on to reveal that Alan Wake Remastered has not yet generated royalties for the company but expects sales of the remaster to increase with the release of Alan Wake 2. Alan Wake 2 was announced back at The Game Awards in 2021 and is expected to launch sometime in 2023.

As for Control 2, which was announced last year, Remedy now has "detailed concepts on the game vision and all creative areas including the gameplay, narrative and art." Virtala says Remedy is "pleased with the work the team has done, and as of January 2023, the game has progressed into the proof-of-concept stage."

Remedy's service-based game, which is codenamed Condor, is still in the proof-of-concept stage. "We are making sure the core gameplay is solid," Virtala said. "We are building the right team and production model for the game and are patiently progressing with the development. Together with our partner 505 Games we have seen great potential in Condor."

Another game, under the codename Vanguard, is also still in the proof-of-concept stage. Virtala notes that in the fall of last year, Remedy decided to delay "significant expansion" of the development team until 2023 and has kept Vanguard in proof-of-concept. "The Vanguard team has made progress and continues to work on core gameplay and meta game development as well as proving the application of Remedy-style narrative and world building, Virtala said. "The development team has been strengthened by select key hires."

The Max Payne 1&2 remakes are still in the concept stage. Announced last year, Virtala says the project "has made good progress" and that the team is "looking forward to bringing this beloved character alive again to a new generation of consoles and to a new generation of fans."

Rounding off the report, Virtala notes that starting from 2023, Remedy will launch a new game per year, "accompanied by additional free and paid content."
