Remedy Entertainment has announced a major milestone for its critically acclaimed title Control, which has now sold over 6 million copies worldwide.
A Cult Hit Turned Major Success
Originally released in 2019, Control quickly gained recognition for its unique blend of supernatural storytelling, physics-based combat, and striking world design.
Set within the mysterious “Oldest House,” the game follows Jesse Faden as she uncovers the secrets of a hidden government agency dealing with paranormal phenomena.
Strong Word of Mouth Over Time
While Control wasn’t an instant blockbuster at launch, it steadily built momentum through:
- Positive critical reception
- Strong community support
- Continued visibility via next-gen updates and re-releases
This long-tail success has helped the game reach an impressive 6 million copies sold.
Expanding the Remedy Universe
The success of Control plays a key role in Remedy Entertainment’s broader connected universe, which also includes titles like Alan Wake and its sequel.
With Remedy continuing to expand this universe, Control remains a central pillar in their long-term plans.
What’s Next
Following the success of Control, Remedy Entertainment is already preparing the next step for the franchise.
A new project, tentatively referred to as Control Resonant, is expected to release later this year, although an exact launch date has not yet been confirmed.
Given the timing, many fans are speculating that the official reveal — including a potential release date — could happen during Summer Game Fest, hosted by Geoff Keighley.
If that turns out to be the case, Control Resonant could soon become the next major chapter in Remedy’s expanding connected universe.
