Remedy will self-publish Control 2 as part of a new “strategic cooperation agreement” with Annapurna. Apress releaseaccompanying the announcement says Annapurna will provide half of Control 2’s development budget, and in return gains the rights to adapt Control and Alan Wake for film and television.
According to the press release, Remedy will get a greater chunk of the revenue share from game sales “after the initial investments have been recouped, proportional to the amounts invested,” while Annapurna will receive a higher share of the profits from eventual TV and film adaptations. “Remedy will retain the full IP rights for Control and Alan Wake,” the press release said.
Remedy and Annapurna feels like a natural partnership. Skim through Annapurna Interactive’srelease catalog, and you’ll find a clear appreciation for artful spookiness and surreality in games likeCocoonandMundaunthat would make for a tasteful pairing with the Remedyverse.
In aRemedy blogpublished alongside the announcement, communications director Thomas Puha says the agreement “means Remedy is able to make Control 2 exactly the game we want it to be, while we now also have an incredible partner to extend our IPs to other mediums.”
