In addition, the team has been working on the visual target of the title.

As said, Virtala also shared updates on Alan Wake 2, which has entered the final stage of full production ahead of the game’s release later this year. According to the CEO, he’s impressed with the game’s quality and has said that the title holds plenty of promise. “Alan Wake 2 will be a game that we will all be proud of and most importantly I am sure it will be a game that players will love to play”, Virtual said in the earnings release.
Meanwhile, development on the Max Payne 1&2 Remakes is also progressing well, and the game has now also moved to the proof-of-concept phase. According to the earnings release, the game’s dev team has been focusing on highlighting the key elements of the Max Payne games and bringing these classics to the current-gen platforms. “Max Payne 1&2 remake has progressed well and during the first quarter the project moved into the proof-of-concept stage”, Remedy’s CEO said. “The development team has worked efficiently in proving the key elements of what Max Payne is all about and in bringing the game in high quality to today’s consoles and PCs. We expect the project to keep advancing well and with that, the team size will expand gradually towards year-end.”
