In an exclusive interview with The Game Business, the recently appointed CEO of Remedy Entertainment, Jean-Charles Gaudechon, has expressed his vision to expand the reach of popular franchises like Alan Wake and Control. With a background in EA and a focus on FIFA's PC and mobile versions, Gaudechon acknowledges the skepticism surrounding his appointment but assures fans that he is committed to protecting Remedy's unique creative style. He believes the company can make improvements to reach a broader audience, citing fan support as evidence of Remedy's popularity. Despite some past setbacks, such as sluggish sales for Alan Wake 2 and delayed profits, Gaudechon remains optimistic. With strategic partnerships like the one with Annapurna for TV and film adaptations, he aims to grow the audience for these IPs significantly. The near future sees Remedy focusing on Control Resonant, a sequel to the well-received 2019 game Control, due this year. Gaudechon stresses the importance of thinking beyond individual games and nurturing communities, with cross-media collaborations set to help achieve this goal. He laments that both Alan Wake and Control could have sold more and suggests that maximizing the potential of existing IPs should be a priority before embarking on new projects. IGN recently praised the aggressive, fast-paced combat in Control Resonant but hasn't yet announced its release date for this year.
