Remedy Entertainment's original logo, which was designed by Henri Loikkanen and introduced with Remedy's website on 1 July 1996. It became a public company in 2017, and moved into a larger office in Espoo in 2018. The studio underwent rapid expansion during the 2010s. They have created a game engine for their titles, most notably Northlight for Quantum Break. Remedy Entertainment has specialised in making cinematic single-player action games featuring a strong central character. The company is currently working on Alan Wake II and a remake of their original Max Payne titles, combined into one game. The team had transitioned to become a multi-project studio since 2016, and had three projects in development, including Control and the single-player portions of CrossfireX. Remedy decided to pursue a new project named Quantum Break, which further expanded the live-action component of Alan Wake. It gained a cult following when it was released in 2010, by Microsoft Game Studios, though its sales were not enough to justify the production of a sequel. This title was once suspected to be vaporware because of the length of time it took to produce and release. After spending seven years working on the Max Payne franchise, the developer decided to create a new intellectual property called Alan Wake. The game was followed by a sequel, Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, released by Rockstar Games.
