Key Scenes in The Lake House

Among the DLC's many surprises, there is a notable optional scene wherein Estevez is unexpectedly transported to the enigmatic Oceanview Motel from Alan Wake 2 and follows this up with a visit to Control’s iconic Oldest House. It is within the Panopticon that Estevez encounters Dylan Faden, also known as Prime Candidate 6. Dylan, the brother of the Control protagonist Jesse, provides a crucial glimpse into what players might face in Control 2, suggesting a menacing breach of the Hiss, unleashing chaos upon New York City.

Director's Tease for Control 2

The excitement doesn't end there! Back in 2022, series game director Mikael Kasurinen teased that Control 2 would take players on “an unexpected journey,” hinting at the innovative gameplay and storytelling that awaits. “It’ll take a while, but to put it mildly, this is the most exciting project I’ve ever worked on. It’s still early days, but it will be worth the wait,” he stated.

Upcoming Projects from Remedy Entertainment

Adding fuel to the fire of Remedy's ambitious plans, the studio has also announced a new cooperative FPS game titled FBC: Firebreak, set to launch in 2025. This three-player title features players taking on the role of the Bureau’s most adaptable response units during a relentless siege by otherworldly entities, promising high-stakes action and collaboration.
