Sam Lake, Creative Director at Remedy, also confirmed that the company is currently developing a game set in this Remedy Connected Universe, which is almost certainly one of the two titles being developed as a part of a deal with Epic Games.
We’ll have to wait and see just how this universe pans out. Remedy has previously confirmed that Control is being updated for PS5 and Xbox Series X, with more details on the enhancements to come at a later date.
