Alan Wake and Control Could Become Movies or TV Shows

Remedy Entertainment has partnered with Annapurna, with a goal of potentially producing Alan Wake and Control movies and TV shows. In addition, Annapurna will be co-financing the development of Control 2, which is currently in production.

While no concrete announcements have been made for Alan Wake or Control movies or TV shows, the announcement of the partnership confirmed an interest in expanding the IPs into other mediums. In addition, Annapurna will be helping to finance and publish the sequel to Control. The sequel has been in production for a while, although Remedy have yet to release any specific details. The news comes after Epic Games executive Hector Sanchez made a move to Annapurna. Epic previously worked with Remedy on publishing Alan Wake 2.

Annapurna is an ideal partner for Remedy to cover both their goals. While Control 2 will be self-published by Remedy, funding and additional support is likely to come from the Annapurna Interactive division. The publisher is best known for releasing projects such as Stray, What Remains of Edith Finch and Outer Wilds. Most recently they’ve released Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, Flock and Open Roads. Meanwhile, the Alan Wake and Control movies and TV shows will likely be produced under Annapurna Pictures, the film division that produced Nimona, Her and Zero Dark Thirty.

Remedy are working on a number of projects including Control 2. They are also working with Rockstar on remakes of the first two Max Payne games, along with a co-op multiplayer game known as Condor. The second DLC expansion for Alan Wake 2 is also on the way, following the release of the Night Springs DLC in June 2024.

Control and Alan Wake 2 are out now, and movies and TV shows of both are in the works. Control is available for PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, while Alan Wake 2 is available for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
