Remedy's 2025 Revenue Rises to €59.5m, but Firebreak Impairment Narrows Profit

Remedy Entertainment posted €59.5m in revenue for FY2025, up 17%, with Q4 revenue of €17m (up 46%) and a Q4 operating profit of €0.7m. However, the year ended with an €14.9m operating loss due to a €14.9m non-cash impairment linked to the underperforming FBC: Firebreak. Growth drivers include royalties from Alan Wake 2, continued Control sales, and development fees for Max Payne remakes and Control: Resonant (unveiled at The Game Awards) expected this year. A new CEO, Jean-Charles Gaudechon, will take the helm on March 1, 2026, replacing interim CEO Markus Mäki.
