In June 2021, Remedy Entertainment announced an agreement with 505 Games, the publisher of its 2019 game Control, to develop FBC: Firebreak, a multiplayer spin-off, and a "bigger-budget" project expanding the Control series.[2] In May 2022, the latter project was referenced under the codename "Heron" in Remedy's development roadmap.[3] In November, the company confirmed that "Heron" was a sequel to Control and unveiled the first concept art. Remedy announced a co-development and co-publishing deal with 505 Games for the title.[4] In February 2024, Remedy acquired full ownership of the Control series from 505 Games for €17 million.[5] In August, the company partnered with Annapurna Pictures to finance half of the sequel's development costs.[6] By that month, the game had reached the "production readiness stage".[7] In October, Control 2 was teased during an optional scene in the Alan Wake 2 expansion The Lake House.[8][9] Control 2's full production began in February 2025.[10] According to Remedy's annual report published in March, this phase is expected to last between 15 and 26 months, with a team size ranging from over 75 to 200 employees.[11] The initial development budget for the sequel is €50 million.[12] Remedy estimated that the game would need to sell between 3 and 4 million copies to break-even.[13]
Control 2 is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S.[14]
