Developer Ironwood Studios have secured $4M in funding with Lifelike Capital which will go towards the studio's next project.
Control Resonant is self published and has been in full production since early 2025. This stage usually takes 1-2 years.
Max Payne 1&2 Remake has been in full production since mid-2024, but Rockstar will decide release timing and likely won't let it coincide with GTAVI in 2026.
Remedy have reiterated the previously established revenue target of €101.4M in 2027. This would be a 70% increase over 2025 revenue.
To achieve this target I would expect Control Resonant to likely launch late 2026 and Max Payne 1&2 Remake in Q2/Q3 2027.
Lies of P and the Overture DLC have surpassed 4 million units sold combined.
Successfully achieved a second wave of popularity in the 2nd year of the base game following the DLC launched in June, 2025.
