Control 2 is now in the "production readiness stage" at Alan Wake developer Remedy Entertainment, while the Control multiplayer spin-off and Max Payne 1 & 2 remake have entered full production. Remedy revealed the progress in its latest financial earnings report, confirming Control 2 has "passed the proof of concept stage and has progressed to the production readiness stage." No further timeline was shared, but Max Payne 1 & 2 has now entered full production ten months after it reached the same "production readiness stage,". This would indicate Control 2 will enter full production around June 2025. Max Payne 1 & 2 reaching this stage means Remedy is now actively working on it, though no release window was shared. The game will unsurprisingly a bundle featuring remakes of the first two action games from 2001 and 2003 Condor, now the only multiplayer game in development at Remedy after it cancelled another mysterious project codenamed Kestrel in May 2024, has also entered full production. "The development team has worked on multiple maps and different mission types, and we have organized a growing amount of internal and limited external playtesting for feature validation and feedback," Remedy said. These games, having only just entered full production (and Control 2 not even being there yet), are likely still years away. The development timeline may be sped up somewhat by the cancelling of Kestrel, however, as Remedy said at the time it would reallocate developers from this project to its three other games.

This should now be the finished version of the Little Big Planet remake, having taken an additional 3.5 years of work, and now ready and waiting for you to try it out. The entire process of creating the project has been uploaded on Colliver's YouTube channel, which you can check out for yourself.

The first Splitgate was a cracker mash-up of Halo multiplayer gunfights and Portal's nifty spacetime windows. It was a gimmick that made flanking fun again, at least until you ***** to a distant rifle that was right next to you all along. Its sequel, Splitgate 2 is continuing that gimmick but is also sprucing up the free-to-play arena shooter with a few modern additions, like ****-sliding around corners and big deployable bubbles called "time domes" that slow down your enemies yet speed up your allies. All this and more comes from a gameplay trailer that went up yesterday. Read more View the full article

The indie soulslike is always a risky venture. Often, it's down to budgetary constraints and not a developer's lack of ability, and Trialforge Studios debut Deathbound is an ambitious and artful swing that doesnt whiff the pitch. Publisher Tate Multimedia has already shipped a few energetically offbeat genre attempts, many of which similarly miss the mark of greatness. In Deathbound, some clever variations on soulslike themes and a dark narrative are ultimately held back by inelegant mechanical details, but it ******** a fun game for those with the patience for its flubs.

Unfortunately for many fans, according to a recent *****, it isn’t Capitano. A potential ***** shared in an Aug. 9 Reddit post suggests the playable Fatui Harbinger in Natlan is Columbina, not Capitano. Although Capitano appeared in Genshin Impact‘s Natlan trailer, and many expected him to be playable, it seems Columbina will make her debut in the upcoming Pyro nation instead, since she’s already in the game files.

Yesterday, Nic took James and I on a tour of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's co-op campaign. A merry old time was had, romping through fortress cities like a small herd of crusader buffalo, using the game's absurd jetpack functionality to pancake invading Tyranids, and getting our screens so slathered in gore we couldn't work out who was ******** what. It looks like the gargantuan action game's PvP multiplayer will be even messier. Saber and Focus Home have released an extended trailer that walks you through two major modes - the PvE boss and wave-slaying frenzy of Operations, and the 12-player PvP carnage of Eternal War, which spans a range of match types. The ecstasy of dying for the Emperor aside, both give me frightful flashbacks to the early days of Gears Of War. Read more View the full article
