Remedy Entertainment’s 2024 Capital Markets Day brought updates on multiple projects including Alan Wake 2, Control, and its upcoming sequel. The studio confirmed that Control 2 will move to an action RPG format, with Control’s previously-announced Mac release coming in February.

Remedy made the announcements during its 2024 Capital Markets Day and summarized the news in a post on X. Control 2 being described as an action RPG means it’ll likely look and play a bit different from the original game, which took a more traditional action-adventure approach. Mac owners who’ve been waiting to experience the game can do so when Control: Ultimate Edition releases on February 12th, 2025.
