Control Developer's Games for Epic are Set in a 'Shared Universe'
Two of Remedy Entertainment’s games will be set in a shared universe, with one being a AAA title and the other being something of a smaller experience.
This news comes by way of an interview Gamesindustry.biz held with Remedy CEO, Tero Virtala, who explained what Remedy’s multiple development teams are working on. There are four teams in total working on five different games and one of those four teams is working on two titles funded by Epic Games.
“When we were focused on just creating one single story, I don’t think we were utilising enough of all the hard work we did on creating the backgrounds for these worlds,” Virtala told Gamesindustry.biz. “With Control, we took the first step in giving players more reasons to spend more time in the world, explore them and that’s been successful.”
“With the project we’re doing with Epic, it’s in a world we want players to spend more time in,” he continued. “There’s more opportunities to explore the world and the brand than in one single game.”
