"The Finnish studio will retain ownership of the unannounced games' IP,"
Interesting and good news for Remedy. And we can put those Sony rumours to rest.
Wonder what the big game is.

Lol
If only the publisher were Rockstar. But it says Remedy will retain control of the IP so it can't be Rockstar/Max Payne.
2K/Private Division or Deep Silver/Nordic is my guess. Also, "The Finnish studio will retain ownership of the unannounced games' IP" suggests it's a new IP and not, say, Alan Wake 2 + something along the lines of American Nightmare.

Nice!
I guess we can stop believing the Sony acquisition rumours now, since it's already listed for PC.
Who do we think is the publisher? Microsoft could actually work (next-gen consoles, plural), but I actually think it could be Activision, after seeing what they did with Sekiro.

Lovely jubbly.
I am glad nobody has acquired them, and everybody can enjoy their upcoming games too!
More people should play 'Control' as well, especially with the two upcoming story add-ons.

acquisition is off the table then, at least for now. which is ofc a good thing.
good for them, looking forward to see what the big game is like.

Wow - cool! This will be interesting to see.
Interesting to see what Remedy can do with next gen hardware.
Lot of stuff potentially happening today..

I'd say we can rule out EA on the basis of one of the games being AAA. Unlike EA Partners, EA Originals is squarely aimed at indie developers.
I don't think Annapurna, Team17, Devolver, etc. have the resources to commit to a potentially risky AAA project. I'd posit the scale is Deep Silver/Nordic -> Acti (assuming Sekiro wasn't a one-off).
I'm happy they get to make more games. But multiplatform publishing deals don't usually go very well for these companies... I'd be happier with a Sony or (to a lesser extent) Microsoft deal.
So much for the Sony speculation. Glad to see that they're getting new funding as well as being allowed to keep their IP.
Other possibilities include:
-Private Division (Take Two)
-Focus Home Interactive
-THQ Nordic
Worked out fine for Control.
Activision let From keep the rights to Sekiro afaik.

This, please

Damn, this is true. Oh well
If that's the case then the only ones that come to mind for AAA project development then is either EA or Activision IMO. With how EA is sticking to sports and star wars game, guess it could be Activision, considering they also published Sekiro(a game that's way out of their usual library of games).
Forgot about Sekiro. That was so unusual for Activision, that it completely slipped my mind.
Activion might me looking at diversing their portfolio without buying studios. They do need it...
Worked out well for Control. Less for Quantum Break. But at least they own the former. If Sony and they worked in a deal they'd own nothing.
it's partially why Insomniac didn't have a whole ton of IP thatSony wanted to make use of when they bought them.Most of all Insomniacs best hits are owned Sony IP.
