Remedy Ditches FreetoPlay Model for Upcoming Multiplayer Game
Project Kestrel now a "premium" title.
Alan Wake 2 developer Remedy has today announced the online multiplayer project it's making with Tencent won't be a free-to-play release anymore. Instead, it'll launch as "a premium game with a strong, cooperative multiplayer component" now known as Kestrel (previously Vanguard). Besides the fact it takes place in the Control universe, little is known about the new multiplayer experience, which shall now revert back to the concept phase at the Finnish studio.
Due to this, a portion of the development team will be moved to help out on other projects at Remedy, which includes the Max Payne 1 + 2 Remake and Control 2. Those who remain on the project will help form its "new direction from the concept stage onwards to create a premium game with a strong cooperative multiplayer component. The new experience will lean more into Remedy’s core strengths and be built on many of the features, assets and themes already designed for Vanguard."
