This week, Remedy wrapped up their developer livestream of Control, totalling twenty-seven hours across nine gameplay sessions. With their next game likely to equal that amount, the studio's Senior Community Manager, Vida Starฤeviฤ, revealed at the end of yesterday's broadcast that the team will be picking up the livestreams in the new year with Alan Wake 2.
The videos have become a weekly treat for the community in recent months. The series, delightfully titled “Remedy Games”, is a nod to their social media username, and part of the celebrations of the studio's thirtieth anniversary. Revealed in August, they aim to complete Control and Alan Wake 2, including expansions, with a variety of special guests from a range of different departments and crafts. So far, they've included project leads, audio engineers, writers, and QA.
For those who have missed the broadcasts, they are available to rewatch on the developer's YouTube channel.
Wrapping up the 2025 livestreams, Vida stated yesterday, “This is going to be the end of our stream series for this year. Next year, we'll be back with Alan Wake 2, and we'll be doing the same thing here. We'll be playing through all of Alan Wake 2 and talking to the devs who made the game, having fun.” With Clay Murphy (Principle Writer) joining the stream for its final defence against Hiss shenanigans, Vida and Julius (Fondem, Community Manager & Publishing Coordinator) have already shared their hope to bring him back especially for Alan Wake 2's Number One Fan level.
