Last week, Remedy's Community Manager, Vida Starčević posted an in-depth letter to fans covering a number of topics ranging from work going on at the studio, to the launch of Control's A.W.E. DLC pack, as well as details for an upcoming patch.
In her post, Vida reveals that, while The Foundation was a three-month timed-platform exclusive for PlayStation and PC (The Epic Store), the next DLC pack, A.W.E., will be launching simultaneously on all platforms.
She also expands on plans for the upcoming patch due to coincide with the launch of the new expansion, "when AWE launches, we'll also be releasing a free update for all owners of Control. This free update will include adding checkpoints to some of the tougher fights towards the end of Control's main campaign, and Control Points will be moved closer to certain boss fights so that you will get to the boss faster should you die and respawn. We're working on rebalancing some of the combat encounters as well. Other things are also in the works, including some stuff specific to the PC version, but we'll talk about those closer to launch!"
While it won't impact fans who already have completed the game, the more user-friendly checkpoints will help gamers who have struggled with the final levels or wants to replay the title. Personally, we're really excited for the update!
