Alan Wake and Control TV and movies look to be on the way from Annapurna, thanks to new partnership with Remedy over Control 2

Remedy’s done a thing. The studio has just announced it’s put together a partnership with Annapurna Interactive - you know, the folks who published that cat game and a bunch of other acclaimed indies - to help bankroll Control 2. As part of the deal, Annapurna’s getting the rights to bring Alan Wake and Control to TV and film screens.

As announced in a press release that contains at least one joke about Finnish people having no emotions, Remedy’s done this with the aim of making sure Control 2 is the all-singing, all-dancing thing its developers want to deliver.

Remedy were “thrilled as Finnish people can be” to announce yesterday that they’ve secured funding for a Control sequel in a co-financing deal with Annapurna, who are also helping the Alan Wake studio bring their connected universe to “film, TV, and beyond”.

While I’m pretty jazzed to see what the coffee-addled minds that brought us Threshold Kids can conjure up under that tantalising ‘beyond’ label, I’ll skip the speculation from now. Here’s the skinny from Remedy’s communications director Thomas Puha:

Control and Alan Wake developer Remedy Entertainment has announced a new "strategic partnership" with publisher Annapurna, which will see it "co-finance" development of Control 2 in a rather unique deal. While Annapurna will not publish the game, it will instead gain the rights to create TV and movie spin-offs from the Control and Alan Wake IP.

CAPTURING CONTROL ON WORLD PHOTO DAY

Today is World Photo Day and what better way to celebrate than by pointing our virtual lenses to focus on the incredible virtual photographers in the Control community. The virtual photography community is so special, welcoming and supportive of one another. Last month, we asked existing players if they had any advice for newcomers to Control’s photo mode tools. And of course, you didn’t hiss-appoint with your responses.

Take a look at some of the best advice we found.

Happy World Photo Day, Director!
