Remedy Entertainment’s 2019 game, Control, was a new adventure when it came out, but has since become a series with a sequel, Control Resonant, planned for release this year.

Interestingly, Control exists in the same universe as other Remedy games, like Alan Wake.

A growing trend of downloadable content (DLC) being released quickly with less substance is linked to the rise of ‘live service’ games. These games often rely on ongoing purchases, which makes DLC pricier, but doesn’t usually deliver the amount of new content players expect. This has created some concerning patterns in certain game genres, and may require developers to rethink their approach to expansions.
Just as Marvel developed its heroes, it also gave its villains depth and complexity. This made the conflicts between them more intense and personal, and these villains often became central figures in the heroes’ stories.
