## Control 2 To Enter Production Readiness In Summer 2024

Authored by tech4gamers.com

The game is now ready to enter production readiness by summer.

The team is simultaneously working on Control 2, Codename Condor, Max Payne 1&2 Remake, and more.

On the other hand, Control 2 was announced in 2022, but the game is just now set to enter the production readiness stage.

Depending on how long the production takes, the game could be anywhere from two to four years away.

We expect the project to advance to the production readiness stage during Q2 2024.

Remedy Entertainment outlines about five to six months of work for production readiness.

This means that Control is unlikely to enter production before 2025. »

If your game is really, really good, you have a very good chance that people on Steam will see it.

Scientists still observe the volcano through the Mount Erebus Volcano Observatory and conduct field campaigns to look for extreme life forms.

While volcanic bombs are exciting, it's the bursts of gas spraying tiny crystals of metallic gold that surprise scientists, who estimate the volcano spews around 80 grams of gold a day -- that's worth around $6,000.

Antarctic researchers have detected traces of the gold dust in ambient air up to 621 miles away from the volcano. »
