Overview
- Jean-Charles Gaudechon, who joined Remedy earlier this year, says the studio’s Alan Wake and Control series “should have sold more” and that he wants to grow their commercial reach.
- He told industry reporters he plans to “think bigger” about existing IP by treating standout games as franchises rather than one-off titles.
- Remedy already has a deal that could see Annapurna produce television shows and movies based on Control and Alan Wake, and Gaudechon said those adaptations can introduce the games to new audiences.
- Gaudechon stressed he intends to protect Remedy’s creative identity, rejected a pivot to free‑to‑play, and expressed caution about using generative AI to replace core creative work.
- Remedy is preparing the sequel Control Resonant for release this year, and management views cross‑media growth as a way to boost launch impact and long‑term sales for its key franchises.
