505 Games, a subsidiary of the Italian entertainment company Digital Bros., today announced at the Game Developers’ Conference (GDC) a partnership that will see the digitally-distributed PC versions of two highly-anticipated games release exclusively through the Epic Games store.
The two games that will be exclusive to the Epic Games store are Control and Journey to the Savage Planet.
- Control: Set in a unique and ever-changing world that juxtaposes our familiar reality with the strange and unexplainable, Control is a third-person action-adventure game combining award-winning developer Remedy Entertainment’s trademark gunplay with supernatural abilities. In addition to PC, Control is confirmed for a simultaneous physical and digital retail launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in late Summer 2019.
- Journey to the Savage Planet: The debut title from industry veterans Alex Hutchinson, Yassine Riahi and Reid Schneider’s Typhoon Studios is an upbeat first-person adventure game set in a bright and colorful alien world filled with weird and wonderful creatures, in which players are tasked with exploring, cataloguing alien flora and fauna and determining if the planet is fit for human habitation. In addition to PC, Journey to the Savage Planet is confirmed for launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
The digital PC release of both titles will be exclusive to the Epic Games store for a period of 12 months. No other terms of the deal were announced.

Another One.!!!
Seriously F@ck Epic for this BS.
Aaaand off of the Steam wishlist it goes.
Why remove it from the Wishlist? Just keep it on the Wishlist until in comes to Steam. I have 1128 games on my Steam Wishlist at the moment and it does not cost me anything to keep them added.
***1128***
LOL that’s the number I don’t wanna reach so that’s why I remove. Especially generic games which fled to Epic.
Right now its 1224.
I removed it as well, same as with Metro Exodus…don’t want to check my list and see them there to be honest.
Epic games really want to push us towards piracy then…
its a pirates life for us pc gamers
Buy after 1 year, no problem.
You really think that? Can you elaborate where the problem is? These games arent highly-anticipated games. The one made by Obsidian is not even their type of game so we dont know if it will be any good. Also Halo Collection is coming to Steam.
Two “highly anticipated” games? LOL. Two highly anticipated are Resident Evil 2 Remake and Devil May Cry 5. These are news IPs that are just trying their luck.
In related news the sky is blue and i got hair balls
wtf are the problem? no one use REALLY origin, why we need to pretend epig store is a good choise?
Wow, now i even care less about this game.
After Quantum Break I couldn’t care less. And I say this as someone who loved Alan Wake.
Wtf???
Yarrr, you know what to do laddies!
Not for torrents it won’t.
Meh, just wait, they will waste their fagnite cash sooner or later….
no no no i want this game so bad why exclusive f you epic https://media1.giphy.com/media/10tIjpzIu8fe0/giphy.gif
Never intend to buy this so well…
oh god i had a feeling this would have happen but lol again thanks for the free copy https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8ba680392f7129707a0166d4656b1613d4e9d0c49f00a8c12a4f7631b36f42f4.jpg
Still playing it on PS4…dope.
Still day one purchase.
Oh dear. This game is already fighting a losing battle to hit a million units sold on all platforms within a year (like Alan Wake took on 360 in 2010/2011).
I’m on an article on the game and I had to check the name of it again because I thought it was called In Control or something like that, nope, its Control. Noting stands out about this game.
Who says it will be cheap when it launches a year later on Steam?
yeah like cdkeys
kinguin says
Oh I don’t doubt they’ll try to launch it full price after a year, but I’ve waited a year, I can wait a little longer for a sale. And if never goes on sale (Fat chance) then I’ll just go play the 100000 other games I don’t have time to play anyway!
Thanks Remedy for remedying my bank balance courtesy of the high seas!
hehe…”courtesy of the high seas”! Well said! 😀
Been my motto for a while now. Basic gaming shopping for the past 5 years or so now.
Everything is broken day 1, week 1, month 1, and in some cases, even year 1. Nice to stay a step behind, and get everything when it’s finished, working, and cheapest.
i swear i’ve been doing this for the last 5 years! it’s so much better than buying unfinished games day 1. learned my lessons!
Games don’t expire as milk does, not sure why people rush like crazy to play the last garbage they are throwing at us lately.
I’m also doing that and I enjoy the games the same or even better that those at release that deal with day one bugs, crashes and such. An example was Just Cause 3 that I read had a lot of issues, even performance…at the time I played it (bought for 8€ or so) it ran great and 0 issues, had no idea what people was talking about.
I love games and I play a lot every day, but those days of buying games at release, outside of some titles that perhaps you feel the need to play. Latest cases for me was The Witcher 3 and after that almost nothing…got everything 6 months later or more for less than half the money (and with more content that at release).
Same, there are way too many games to play anyways. Some times it’s even longer than year, like i played Witcher 3 this winter, i would love to pay them more though.
The recent game informer coverage of this made it sound pretty damn cool. Looking forward to it. Say what you will of Remedy, each release they try different ideas at least. Still hoping for an Alan Wake sequel.
Hahahahah, so Remedy’s another uninteresting game that looks like the previous flop, is now exclusive to Epic store?
Nothing of value was lost.
piratebay is still active?
Yup!
Goes down frequently but comes back online every time…
there are so many fake piratebays and kats out there that i don’t bother checking them out anymore. i go straight to rarb or 1337.
F*** you Epic.
I am really really curious now….WTF is EG offering these publishers to make deals like this?!!
It has to be a real sweet honey pot to agree to exclusivity deals like this!
15% of sales vs steams 30% and other incentives plus money…blame steam for its 30% this is only the start.
If your game sells well then it’s 15-20% on Steam.
So far only mediocre junk fled to EGS.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Still buying it, don’t give a sh*t.
Hahahahah, so Remedy’s another uninteresting game that looks like the previous flop, is now exclusive to Epic store?
Nothing of value was lost.
I wasn’t buying it anyway without a DRM free Linux version so no worries.
The reason why piracy is on the increase again, Epic fail.
There’s also The Cycle from the makers of Spec Ops: The Line. Want to hear the joke?
They were alpha testing on Steam. Even in January/February.
well the halo master chief collection is coming only to steam with a total of SIX GAMES so what’s the point ?
launcher wars!!!!!!!!!!! get em epic….lmao.you can blame steam fir thier 30% on all sales they will make more money selling less copies on epic launcher.
blame steam.
feels like old xbox 360 announcements. Is this pc?
All this exclusive crap.
Good thing remedy lost there touch long time ago.
They can make a hell of an engine tho…
