Alan Wake developer Remedy Entertainment has announced it's acquired the full rights to its Control series from publisher 505 Games for €17m. As detailed in an investor announcement on Remedy's website, the rights acquisition - which includes those for publishing, distribution, and marketing - cover the full Control franchise, including the supernatural third-person shooter's 2019 debut game, the upcoming Control 2 and multiplayer spin-off codenamed Condor, and all future titles in the series. Today's announcement does, of course, feel like a little bit of history repeating; back in 2019 Remedy revealed it had come to an agreement with Microsoft to acquire the rights to Alan Wake for €2.5 million - a move which resulted in the formerly Xbox-exclusive cult classic making the jump to other platforms before getting the remaster treatment and, last year, a long-awaited sequel.
