Remedy and Annapurna announce a strategic cooperation agreement on Control 2 and bringing Control and Alan Wake to film and television

Exciting announcement. Two of the best creative and narrative focused companies in gaming.
That seems like a huge step for Anapurna too, doesn’t it?
Not really I don’t think … Anna Purna already publishes a lot of games and has published a lot of notable films in the past few years.
I feel like if anything it’s most notable because Anna Purna has deeper pockets than Remedy, more experience in film and television, and produce notably high quality creative and narrative work, meaning that they’re unlikely to screw up Remedy’s writing chops and can legitimately help them expand their mixed media ambitions.
I am just now learning from your comment that Annapurna does film! I just know them from Kentucky Route Zero and Outer Wilds. Crazy, I thought they were just a gaming company.
It’s Outer Wilds, no “The”.
Sorry for being pedantic :pThanks, edited.
Fuck epic!
obligatory fuck epic yourself coward
Oooh, now it’s getting interesting
Can’t say I love Annapurna, but at least control 2 will be on steam. Hopefully from day 1.
As I understand it, Control 2 will be self-published by Remedy and is just being co-financed by Annapurna in exchange for film and tv rights
Annapurna is Annapurna and is already “weird”. But noticing a lot more push for video games as film. And not just the nonsense of shit like Rampage and Borderlands but stuff like Remedy-verse and El Paso Elsewhere as well as Blumhouse getting involved as more of a publisher (?).
We are probably in for a bad time because… yeah. But I am optimistic. Because Remedy (heavily involved rather than just licensed) and Xalavier Nelson Jr and the like are REALLY good at taking advantage of the medium to tell their stories and… their stories are actually pretty okay as stories with a LOT of character work.
Really liked Control, although the Alan Wake DLC was disappointing. Hoping the second on has more Threshold kids!
