Remedy is a very busy studio. We learned a few months ago the start of Project Condor, a multiplayer spin-off of Control, whileAlan wake 2 made his debut at the Game Awards. We also find at home the project responding to the code name Vanguard, a cooperative game that recently received internal testing. The title seems to have convinced the giant Tencent, which partners with the studio to bring the game to life.
A co-op and free-to-play game with AAA ambitions
This is what Remedy is telling us today, with the publication of a development and distribution agreement (as well as ownership on the license) for Vanguard. Tencent will also translate the game for the Asian market and develop a mobile version of the title.
All we know about the game at the moment is that it will promote cooperation and be free-to-play, with a budget equivalent to an AAA for the studio. Vanguard will be mainly oriented PvE and will be a shooter (with all the same a narrative dimension), which will use the Unreal Engine and which is intended to be released on PC and consoles. And yes, it will be a service game, the first for Remedy.
The release is obviously not for now, just like the many other projects underway at Remedy.
