But now the studio has officially renamed Heron as Control 2 and also confirmed that the game will be a full-fledged sequel to the highly acclaimed 2019 title.
I am now proud to confirm that the bigger budget Control game, known by its code name Heron, is Control 2, a full-fledged sequel to our award-winning Control game. – reads the statement from Remedy Entertainment CEO Tero Virtala).
