Remedy Entertainment Halts Development on Codename Kestrel to Prioritize Other Projects

The decision allows the game studio to redirect resources and focus on advancing its existing franchises, including Control and Max Payne remakes.

Remedy Entertainment cancels its early-stage cooperative multiplayer game, Codename Kestrel, co-financed by Tencent.
The cancellation is part of a strategic shift to concentrate on more advanced projects and established franchises.
Developers from the Kestrel team will be reassigned to other in-development games, enhancing resource allocation.
This move reduces the need for additional investment and recruitment, streamlining Remedy's operational focus.
Despite the project's initial promise, Remedy prioritizes long-term strategy over continuing with the nascent Kestrel.
