The project was first announced in June 2021 under the codename of "Condor" in a press release by Remedy Entertainment. [2] It was intended to be co-published and developed by 505 Games, the publisher on the first Control game. [3] In February 2024, Remedy Entertainment announced it had bought the rights to the Control franchise, including the publishing rights for the game, from 505 Games for €17 million. [4] In April, 2024, it was confirmed by Remedy that the initial budget for the game was stated to be €25 million. It was also confirmed to be pay to play, as opposed to many other multiplayer games.
