Control 2 Officially Announced

A sequel to Control has officially been announced.

Plans to make another Control game were mentioned last year, but now it’s official.

Control 2 is still in its concept stages, so we don’t really know anything about it at this point, except that it will be released for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

One piece of concept art (pictured above) was also shared on the official website, along with a message from the director.

Since it seems like it will be quite a while before Control 2 is ready, that should give me plenty of time to return to the first Control (which I put on hold after a bug forced me to restart from the beginning). Of course, I also hope to play that before Alan Wake II, Remedy’s other big sequel that was announced last year.

What I played of Control before the bug (which has since been patched, but it was too late for me), I enjoyed quite a bit, so I’m happy to see there’s more from this series on the horizon. Are you interested in Control 2?

Sports Story Release Date Set for December!

My wish came true!

The Indie World Showcase featured many interesting games, and it closed with the one I was hoping to see more than anything else – Sports Story.

Sports Story still exists, it looks better than ever, and it’s coming out in December!

According to the new trailer, Sports Story features, golf, tennis, soccer, and other several other activities, as well as dungeons to explore. The trailer also mentions that you can become a detective or spy, so considering how things went in Golf Story, I expect the plot to take some interesting turns.

The long silence before this update still has some fans worried, but everything from the trailer looks fantastic to me.

I’m so excited to have a Sports Story release window. I hope it has the same wacky sense of humor that Golf Story had, and I can’t wait to check it out in December.

Are you looking forward to Sports Story? What were your favorite games shown in the Indie World Showcase?

Indie World Showcase Announced for Wednesday

Nintendo has announced an Indie World Showcase for this Wednesday, November 9.

It will start at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET and last roughly 25 minutes.

While I tend to find Nintendo Directs more exciting, there can be great announcements at an indie showcase.

Hollow Knight: Silksong fans are once again hoping for a release date, although since Silksong was confirmed to be out by next June during Xbox’s E3 show, it feels like there’s less of a desperate fervor around the hope for Silksong news this time.

(I still think there’s a chance I might play Hollow Knight before Silksong comes out.)

Meanwhile, another indie game people are hoping to see is one I’ve been waiting for news on as well: Sports Story.

It was all the way back in 2019 that Sports Story was announced, but it was delayed after that. The most recent update from the developers came last Christmas, and the silence since then has some fans worried.

Golf Story was a fantastic, funny game, so I’ve been excited for Sports Story ever since it was announced. I really hope we hear something about it soon.

Aside from that, there’s nothing in particular that I’m hoping for. What do you hope (or expect) to see at Wedneday’s Indie World Showcase?
