Remedy partners with Annapurna to turn Control into a multimedia franchise

Remedy announced today that it is partnering with Annapurna Interactive, both on the development of its upcoming title Control 2 and on taking Control and its sibling franchise, Alan Wake, to the world of film and television. According to the developer, Annapurna will co-finance Control 2, which will allow Remedy to make it “exactly the game we want it to be.”

Remedy purchased the rights to the original Control from former partner 505 Games earlier this year, giving it full rights to the franchise. At the time, the company also informed its investors at the time that it was considering partners for Control 2. It appears that partner is Annapurna, which is known for publishing indie titles.
