The developers of Alan Wake 2 have announced the cancellation of one of their projects

Sad news from Remedy. The Finnish studio has announced the cancellation of the cooperative shooter under the codename Kestrel. The game was announced in 2021 as a free-to-play PvE title.

Kestrel never reached full development stage. Last fall, Remedy changed the game's concept, turning it into a «premium» shooter, but the development did not progress beyond the concept stage.

The cancellation of Kestrel has allowed the freed-up resources to be directed towards the development of other games. Currently, Remedy is working on Control 2 and the remakes of Max Payne.

Earlier, Remedy reported that Alan Wake 2 has not yet recouped its costs, but has already recovered a significant portion of the expenses. The release of the mystical thriller took place on October 27.
