27th August 2025 Remedy Take On Control in New Anniversary Livestream [w. Juha Vainio and Miro Vesterinen]

In case you missed it, Remedy has officially kicked off their anniversary livestreams with Control.

Each Thursday, the team will be sitting down to reflect on some of their most popular titles; Control and Alan Wake 2, from start to finish. The streams are set to feature a number of guest developers across a number of disciplines.

For the Control kickoff, coinciding with the game's sixth anniversary, Vida Starčević (Senior Community Manager) and Julius Fondem (Community Manager) sat down with Juha Vainio (Executive Producer) and Miro Vesterinen (Lead Environment Artist) to talk about the start of the adventure.

Throughout their three-hour play through, the devs chatted about a range of topics including the Assist Mode, breakable glass, the most challenging aspect of game development, the element they're most proud of, Ahti, motion capture, Metacritic bets, and the PlayStation update, as well as many, many more. For all that goodness, make sure to check out the livestream, below and join future streams for giveaways:

In Control, you play as Jesse Faden, who stumbles into the role of Director of a secretive government organisation. “A corruptive presence has invaded the Federal Bureau of Control... Only you have the power to stop it. The world is now your weapon in an epic fight to annihilate an ominous enemy through deep and unpredictable environments. Containment has failed, humanity is at stake. Will you regain control?”

If you've yet played the game, Control Ultimate Edition is available on Steam at 90% off. For the Control Ultimate Edition, players will be able to play the base game, along with both DLC packs, The Foundation and AWE. It's also the most up-to-date version of the title, featuring updates such as The Expeditions mission, photo mode, Assist Mode, and the ability to replay boss fights through the arcade machines.
