If you are a fan of Remedy Entertainment titles utilizing live-action work within their games, this news is sure to please those appetites. Today, Remedy has announced their strategic partnership with Annapurna Pictures (Annapurna) to co-finance Control 2 and to bring the Control and Alan Wake franchises into film and TV. The agreement looks to be a fair share between the two companies, given that both will benefit from the anticipated release of Control 2 and the entertainment medium expansion of Remedy’s award-winning franchises.
It’s interesting to see the strategy behind this, with both having a mutual expectation from the partnership. When it comes to Control 2, according to the press release, it says that Annapurna will finance 50% of the development budget, which, in turn, will grant them the option to television, film, and selected audiovisual licensing rights for Alan Wake and Control. This news may come as a shock, considering the news that Alan Wake was being adapted at AMC back in 2022, but according to gamesradar, AMC’s rights to Alan Wake had expired and that the move was amicable between the two parties.
