Alan Wake and Control developer Remedy Entertainment has posted its financial results for the third quarter of its 2025-26 fiscal year, and there’s a pretty clear indication in the report that the studio is moving on from FBC: Firebreak.
In an official Remedy press release, new interim CEO Markus Mäki, who stepped in to replace departing exec Tero Virtala just last week, says that the company has “moved development resources [from FBC: Firebreak] to [its] other in-development titles”.
Mäki does say that Remedy intends to “respect [its] communicated roadmap” for the game, so at the very least, you can expect the promised updates on said roadmap to arrive in a timely fashion. After that, though, it seems likely Remedy is done with the game.
Despite this, however, Mäki says that Remedy has “also found positive sides” to the launch of FBC: Firebreak. He says that the studio’s “first multiplayer product launch was technically successful in a cross-platform environment”, and that the game’s release has helped Remedy’s publishing team gain experience.
It hasn’t been a great few months for Remedy, though. The aforementioned financial report shows that revenue is down a whopping 32% on last year’s Q3, although Mäki says that’s because the studio received development fees for Control 2 from publisher Annapurna during this period.
Additionally, Remedy made an operating loss of €16.4 million this quarter, compared to a profit of €2.4 million during the same period last year. It’s safe to say that FBC: Firebreak has rather scuppered Remedy’s third quarter this year, and its major Breakpoint update in September hasn’t helped much.
Nevertheless, development on Control 2 and the upcoming Max Payne remakes continues, Mäki says, and the projects are “progressing according to plan”.
It may well be a while before we hear anything more from Remedy regarding these projects, but hopefully, we’ll learn what Control 2 and the Max Payne remakes look like in the coming months. Stay tuned for more.
