Ontwikkelaar Remedy Entertainment, de makers achter Alan Wake, Quantum Break en de recente hit Control, werken aan twee nieuwe games voor de next-gen consoles. De ontwikkelaar heeft een deal gesloten met een uitgever, waarvan de naam opvallend genoeg niet wordt bekendgemaakt in het persbericht.
Deze uitgever zal alle kosten van deze twee projecten in rekening nemen. Remedy Entertainment zal de rechten van deze onaangekondigde projecten behouden. De eerste game die wordt genoemd is een AAA-game die momenteel in pre-production is. Het tweede project is iets kleiner maar is ook een project gebaseerd op dezelfde IP. Beide games moeten verschijnen voor de next-gen consoles en de PC.
Remedy Entertainment, developer of multiple “Game of the Year” award winner Control, has signed publishing agreements with a major publisher for the company’s next two unannounced video games. The agreements specify that the publisher will fully fund game development costs and that Remedy is entitled to a 50% share of the net revenue from the games’ sales. Remedy also retains the ownership of the games’ intellectual property.
The first project is an AAA multi-platform game already in pre-production and previously referred to as the “unannounced third project.” The second is a new smaller-scale project set in the same franchise. Both projects are being developed on Remedy’s proprietary Northlight game engine and tools.
More details regarding the partnership between Remedy and the publisher will be announced later today by a press release. The partnership extends Remedy’s strategy of creating and developing its own IPs into long-term franchises. Both games will be launched on next generation console platforms and PC in the next few years.
Remedy’s financial outlook and guidance remain unchanged. The company estimates its revenue and operating profit to increase during 2020. Majority of the revenue and operating profit growth is expected to materialize during the second half-year period.
UPDATE: Remedy’s Sam Lake bevestigt op sociale media dat het Epic Games de major uitgever is waar ze een samenwerking mee zijn gegaan.
Working on 2 multiplatform games for next-gen consoles and PC, published by @EpicGames. The 1st project is our most ambitious one yet, an AAA game already in pre-pro. The second is a new, smaller-scale project set in the same franchise. @remedygames https://t.co/JcctZMJOTc
