Remedy Aims to Boost Player Engagement
- Remedy seeks to increase player engagement for its IP
- CEO plans to leverage cross-media projects for visibility
- Upcoming sequel aims to expand the franchise's reach
Remedy Entertainment, renowned for its innovative games, faces a challenge with player engagement despite critical acclaim. CEO Jean-Charles Gaudechon, previously with EA Games, aims to transform this by enhancing how Remedy nurtures its intellectual properties (IPs). The recent success of Alan Wake 2 only occurred after it reached 2 million sales, highlighting the need for a stronger audience connection.
To address this, Remedy has partnered with Annapurna to develop cross-media projects that expand the reach of franchises like Alan Wake and Control. Gaudechon emphasized the importance of growing the community around these titles and maximizing their potential through various platforms.
The next anticipated release, Control: Resonant, will continue the trajectory of the franchise, providing opportunities to engage a wider audience.
