Claim
Remedy had signed with Epic Games Publishing in 2021 for the release of two games.
Correction

This date is wrong: Remedy announced the Epic publishing deal on March 26, 2020, not in 2021.

Full reasoning

Remedy's own investor press release states that the company signed with Epic Games on March 26, 2020 to publish two new multi-platform games. That directly contradicts the article's statement that Remedy signed with Epic in 2021.

This is not just an announcement of a future plan: the March 26, 2020 release says Remedy "has signed with Epic Games to publish Remedy's next two unannounced video games." So the partnership date in the article is off by about a year.

Claim
With Epic as their publisher, Remedy began production on Alan Wake 2 in August 2019.
Correction

The timeline here is impossible: Remedy did not sign with Epic until March 26, 2020, and Remedy says the bigger Epic project entered full production in August 2021.

Full reasoning

This sentence conflicts with Remedy's own published timeline.

First, Remedy announced on March 26, 2020 that it had signed with Epic Games to publish its next two games. That means Remedy could not have begun production on Alan Wake 2 "with Epic as their publisher" in August 2019.

Second, Remedy's Q3 2021 business review says "the bigger Epic Games Publishing project entered full production" in August 2021. That official milestone is also incompatible with the article's claim that production on Alan Wake 2 began in August 2019 under Epic.

So even without resolving every stage of pre-production, the specific statement in the article is chronologically wrong: Epic was not yet Remedy's publisher in August 2019, and Remedy's own reporting places the big Epic project reaching full production in August 2021.

Claim
It sold more units and over three times more digital units in its first month than Control did in its first four months.
Correction

Remedy said this comparison was for Alan Wake 2's first two months, not its first month.

Full reasoning

Remedy's February 16, 2024 sales announcement gives the exact comparison: Alan Wake 2 sold over 50% more copies and over three times more digital copies in its first two months than Control did in its first four months.

The article changes that to "first month," which is not what Remedy reported. The published company statement specifically says two months.
