With the release of the new DLC for Alan Wake 2, titled The Lake House, fans are treated to what seems to be a significant teaser for Control 2.

The Lake House DLC: A Glimpse into the Future
The Lake House DLC introduces an intriguing scene where Kiran Estevez, an agent from FBC Investigations, finds herself in the mysterious Oceanview Motel before being transported to the Panopticon in The Oldest House. This location is familiar to fans of the original Control game. Here, she engages in a compelling conversation with Dylan Faden, the brother of Control's protagonist, Jesse Faden. This interaction hints at the exciting developments awaiting in the Remedy-verse.
Strengthening the Remedy Shared Universe

Earlier this year, they partnered with Annapurna to fund films set within this universe, further solidifying the connections between these series. The announcement of Control 2 in 2022 promised an "unexpected journey," according to director Mikael Kasurinen. Alongside this, Remedy is also working on a cooperative game titled FBC Firebreak, expected to release in 2025.
