Thanks to the ingenuity of Remedy Entertainment creators, works like Alan Wake or Quantum Break have seen the sun. His most recent title was Power, which was ultimately claimed as one of the revelations of 2019 after a tentative launch.
Now some facts about the game's sales success have been shared by the Finnish studio. Ever since its launch, Control has surpassed two million copies, a not inconsiderable number.
Last November was its highest-selling month, still drawing media interest more than a year later. Moreover, in 2019, Control sold 60% of its units in digital format, a figure that increased to 90% compared to fiscal year 2020.
Project between Remedy and Epic
We heard at the beginning of this year that several studios, including Remedy, had reached an agreement with Epic to release their next titles under this publisher's signature. Some aspects of the developer's project are already known to us.

Epic will completely finance the title, reach consoles and PC , plus a "significant marketing investment" will be made. The intellectual property will remain in Remedy's domain.
With regard to its functionality, all suggests that it will be a multiplayer game free to play, with a heavy story load, although it is still in an early stage of development. There are very promising first experiments.
