According to what has emerged in the past few hours, Remedy has revealed some details related to the new projects under development, including the title fully funded by Epic Games, Vanguard.
According to the words of the well-known insider Nibel, the game in question could not only count on a rather substantial budget, but should also release on consoles and PC. So, despite the title being subsidized in full, Remedy will remain the owner of the IP.
The game (which is supposed to be a service-based multiplayer and distributed as free-to-play), would have already undergone a first test phase, obtaining quite promising results, therefore development should go live soon.
We report in detail the statements given by Nibel below:
