Remedy Entertainment’s new CEO, Jean-Charles Gaudechon, recently said that both Alan Wake and Control deserved to sell more copies than they did. In an interview with The Game Business, Gaudechon said: “It’s a pity, I think Alan Wake should have sold more. Control should have sold more.” Gaudechon joined Remedy earlier this year after working on major EA franchises like Battlefield and FIFA. He believes both games are high-quality titles with much more room to grow. Remedy’s main goal is to expand the Alan Wake and Control franchises before focusing on new projects. A key part of that strategy is the studio’s 2024 partnership with Annapurna Interactive. The partnership funds the next Control game, currently known as “Control Resonant,” while Annapurna gains rights to create movies, TV shows, and other adaptations based on Alan Wake and Control. Gaudechon explained that the deal aims to help the games reach a bigger audience through different media: “Our deal with Annapurna goes into making our games, our franchises shine further and reach an audience that doesn’t exist today… Cross-media is going to help us do that.” He also said Remedy feels it has only explored part of the creative potential of these franchises so far and wants to grow them
