Besides Baldur Gate 3, Alan Wake 2 is probably the most appreciated name in recent times, but this game has not yet recovered its capital.
Although Alan Wake 2 is one of the most highly rated names in the past year, until now the game has not been able to recover all of Remedy's capital.
During the profit report for the first quarter of 2024, Remedy announced that although Alan Wake 2 was very successful and sold 1.3 million copies at the most recent statistics (This makes Alan Wake 2 the title Remedy's fastest-selling game), but the game has only recovered a portion of its production and marketing costs. By making such a statement, Remedy has indirectly admitted that the game is currently unable to recover capital. However, this does not mean that Remedy is going backwards or standing still when comparing the company's profits in the first quarter of this year with the same period last year, this studio earned 10.8 million euros, which is an increase. an additional 56.2%.
Besides mentioning the old released game Alan Wake 2, in this report Remedy also mentioned two other games in development. First we will have Control's spin off game codenamed Condor, this is also the game that many people speculate will be released with the name FBC: Firebreak. Accordingly, Condor has reached the final stage of development and only needs a short time until the game can be released to gamers. Remedy said that Condor's core game is very attractive and this gameplay also demonstrates Remedy's new approach to this genre. Regarding the game Control 2, this game will also enter the pre-production stage at the end of this year, so if you are a fan of IP Control, this is definitely very good news for you. The Max Payne remake game will be a bit later when the game will reach the production completion stage at the end of 2024. Finally, there is a project called Kestrel, this is a project that remedy will coordinate with Tencent to manufacture. This is also a project that helps Remedy attract more investment capital from middle-class giants from 5% of shares to 15% of shares.
With so many attractive games waiting for their release date, even though Alan Wake 2 has not yet recovered all of its capital, Remedy still has the right to believe in an extremely bright future waiting for it.
