Ville Ruusutie, Remedy's principal animation programmer, offered some additional context on Kasurinen's news. In a tweet of his own, Ruusutie said the team "lost animation middleware and wrote new from scratch" while noting it was a "big risk" but thinks the studio has done well considering some of the "big tech challenges" Remedy has faced working on Control.
'It’s been quite a ride. Big tech challenges. We lost animation middleware and wrote new from scratch which depends heavily on Motion Matching. It was big risk but I think we nailed it. Proud of our team. Ex and current ones. @remedygames @505_Games. https://t.co/KG8tjrph4d

Control comes three years after the studio's last outing, Quantum Break. In Control, you play as Jesse Faden, the Federal Bureau of Control's new director, exploring the Oldest House and harnessing supernatural abilities to defeat enemies and find her brother. We found it to be Remedy's most interesting game since Alan Wake after spending some time with it, saying, "Control is being designed with a Metroidvania-like structure that requires you to re-examine previously explored locations when new skills are unlocked, and the thought of incorporating an alternate dimension into this concept is very intriguing."
Though Control is headed to PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, the game will be a limited-time Epic Games Store exclusive. PC requirements have been revealed, and while one of them is a mandatory Epic Games account, Control will arrive on Steam in Summer 2020.
