Now for some interesting news about upcoming DLC for Remedy’s Control game.
Remedy Entertainment is one of the more unique independent video game studios. Known for the Max Payne and Alan Wake series, Remedy creates action-adventure games that are mainly focused on story elements with unique gameplay controls. While the studio has struggled in this current generation with Quantum Break, last year’s Control game is a redemption story. On Thursday, the indie studio revealed new information on upcoming Control DLC.
The Cryptic Tweet
Sometimes 20 seconds is all the time needed to generate the hype necessary to drive sales. But at other times, a short trailer can create more questions than answers. Such is the case with Remedy’s surprise announcement of Control’s DLC: The Foundation.
While the trailer provides an interesting graphic for the Oldest House, Remedy revealed little more than the release date for the DLC: March 26, 2020. According to the Epic Game Store, The Foundation DLC will allow players to:
Explore the roots of the Oldest House and discover strange secrets unknown even to the Bureau. The Foundation doors are open, but some things should remain buried.
Here is what we still do not know:
- Price: While most DLC ranges from $5 to $30, Remedy is awkwardly quiet as to how much the new content will cost. Given that The Foundation releases in just two weeks, this is an odd move. Because price is the most important factor in gamer buyingi habits, Remedy needs to reveal this information soon.
- How to Access the DLC: Do players need to complete the main campaign before accessing the DLC? Can players access the DLC from within the main game? Is the DLC a completely separate side story?
- Amount of Content: There is no word on how long The Foundation DLC will be. Because the new content is story driven, we can assume that the Foundations should provide at least five hours of new gameplay. But at this point, your guess is as good as ours.
Conclusion
While fans of Remedy’s Control game should be excited about the Foundation DLC, it is odd that Epic Games and Remedy have not announced the price for this new content. Depending upon the popularity of the amount of content, this upcoming DLC can range anywhere from $5 to $30. We will keep fans posted once Remedy announces more details.
