Put down any objects that might be philosophically troubling, because a sequel to brain-boggling, sci-fi action-adventure Control‘s been confirmed by Remedy Entertainment and 505 Games. The companies have signed a deal to co-develop and co-publish Control 2, formerly known as Codename Heron, revealed in a statement shared by Remedy today. The game’s being developed in the Northlight engine, and will be published on PC by Remedy.

“With Control 2, we’ll take another leap into the unknown. It’ll be an unexpected journey. It’ll take a while, but to put it mildly, this is the most exciting project I’ve ever worked on,” said Control 2’s game director Mikael Kasurinen. There’s no word of when we’ll see the game yet. Development’s still in the concept phase, and Kasurinen clarified it’s “early days”.

The idea of a sequel to Control isn’t new, having been bandied around since June last year. The deal with 505 Games was touted at the same time. Remedy are working on a co-op spin-off alongside Control 2, known for now as just Codename Condor. Must really like ornithology, those folks at Remedy.

The first Control is available on Steam for $40. Control 2 is coming to Steam but does not have a release date yet.
