Control developer Remedy Entertainment just revealed some brand new details about their next game, called Vanguard.

Earlier today in an investor's call, Remedy revealed several new details about Vanguard. Chiefly, the game is a free-to-play multiplayer live-service game, but Remedy's signature world building and narrative focus will still be very much a part of the project. Although the project is still very early in development, the first testing phases for the game have received positive feedback.

Elsewhere in the investor's call, Remedy announced that Control has surpassed two million copies sold worldwide. Interestingly enough, the strongest sales month for the game was just last month in November 2020, right around the launch of next-gen consoles (which Control is available on through the game's Ultimate Edition).

Finally, Remedy game director and producer Sam Lake announced that the next big game from the studio would be set in the "Remedy Connected Universe." This isn't the first time we've heard this phrase, as the studio announced earlier this year that they were working on a game set in the same world as Control and Alan Wake. From the wording of Lake's announcement though, it sounds like this is the next huge project for the studio.
