Weekend Games is excited to announce it is publishing the sci-fi horror typing game Remote Control, coming to PC via Steam in 2026. Developed by Brighton-based studio, Canteen Games, Remote Control is an unsettling experience that pulls players between the corporate world of the TV show Severance and the thrilling tension of Alien: Isolation.
Watch the Remote Control announcement trailer:
A deep-space spacecraft has gone mysteriously silent. The crew is dead, the incident is undocumented and the only way to uncover the truth is by using a series of human “proxies” controlled by you via a terminal in a far-off (and safe) location.
You’ll issue typed commands through the terminal interface, forcibly directing proxies to navigate the ship, investigate objects, and discover the events that led to disaster. Humans have flaws, though, with fear, a desire to live, and being butter-fingers all getting in the way. However, they are unable to completely resist your commands, even if there is sometimes a little pushback…
Drawing inspiration from Alien: Isolation’s sustained dread and the dehumanizing psychological horror of Severance, Remote Control blends typing-driven gameplay that feels reminiscent of classic text-based adventure games, merged with recent hits like Mouthwashing and No, I’m Not a Human. The game is anticipated to be released later this year.
Key Features:
How many people does it take to investigate an infested space ship? 12, apparently: You’ll get 12 attempts to discover the truth. Each vessel (human) has unique qualities and traits which can aid or abet your mission. Just remember, their death is permanent.
Dark and immersive sci-fi: Step into a classic space horror. Expect a spacecraft drifting through space, a lack of power supply and lighting, and plenty of blood smeared on walls.
QWERTY your way to the truth: Every input is via your keyboard as you’ll type “move left” or “turn around” to direct vessels around the ship.
It’s just an office job: All the death and gore getting a little much? Take a break, step away from the desk and go hang out by the water cooler. There’s definitely nothing unnerving going around the office, either… right?
Psychological and moral tension: Force compliance from unruly vessels, navigate resistance and try not to get too annoyed when Eugene’s crumby fingers struggle to complete an input on the control panel.
The eagerly awaited news coincides with the launch of an exciting media campaign that includes a dynamic :30 spot featuring narration by Fast & Furious franchise producer, star and longtime parks collaborator, Vin Diesel.
The pulse-pounding spot is slated to air within several high profile sporting event telecasts, including The Winter Olympics, Super Bowl LX and NBA All-Star all on NBC and Peacock.
The campaign spot captures the spirit of the thrill ride, designed to immerse guests within Universal Pictures’ exhilarating Fast & Furious universe, as Universal Studios Hollywood prepares for its much anticipated summer opening.
This innovative roller coaster will be located on the Upper Lot of Universal Studios Hollywood within an expansive red brick, garage-like structure. It will feature groundbreaking 360-degree rotation technology designed to create a seamless sensation of drifting cars as guests spin in motion at speeds up to 72 MPH, while careening along 4,100 feet of elaborate aerial track—the equivalent of nearly 12 football fields—that winds its way over sections of the theme park, including the multi-level Starway escalator that connects the Upper and Lower Lots.
Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift will launch as Universal Pictures kicks off the 25th anniversary of the blockbuster Fast & Furious franchise and its final theatrical release, Fast Forever, slated for March 17, 2028.
“Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift” will benefit from Universal Destinations & Experiences’ decades-long expertise in revolutionizing the development of contemporary roller coasters across its global theme parks.

Today, Digital Dreams Entertainment Inc. — a studio founded by the freaks behind SSX on Tour, FIFA Street 2, Need for Speed: Pro-Street, and Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes — proudly named the GOAT of the Game himself Gerard “HipHopGamer” Williams, as an ambassador of over-the-top, blood-soaked arcade-style football game, Mutant Football League 2. HipHopGamer and his “GET MONEY GAMERS” squad are now available as a playable team in a free content update for Mutant Football League 2 on consoles and PC.
As the ultimate barrier-breaker who’s fused hip-hop and gaming culture like no one else, Gerard Williams brings even more chaos to Mutant Football League 2’s gridiron. Leading the charge as quarterback, he and his GET MONEY GAMERS squad join the game, complete with Queens Borough President Donovan Richards Jr., New York community leaders, and members of Williams’ youth outreach initiatives as additional members — making this team as inspiring as it is unstoppable. An exclusive track produced by HipHopGamer himself serves as the team’s anthem, pumping through the arena whenever the GET MONEY GAMERS take the field.
“The moment I met Gerard and learned that the original Mutant League Football held a special place in his heart, I knew that we needed to work together,” said Michael Mendheim, Creative Director of Mutant Football League 2. “His charisma and talent are only matched by his altruistic nature, bringing the love of gaming, education, and hip hop to underserved communities throughout New York and globally online. As an ambassador for Mutant Football League 2, we’re not only excited to have him and the GET MONEY GAMERS crew featured in the game, but for the game to bring fun and opportunity to kids supported by the PlayMakers educational gaming program.”
“The original Mutant League Football is an important game to me, having grown up playing it with my grandmother. And as a big fan of NBA JAM back in the day and that style of crazy arcade sports games that we don’t see anymore, I was like ‘we’re finally back,’” said Gerard Williams. “The explosive gameplay, dirty tricks, environmental damage — Mutant Football League 2 is so wild that I had to be a part of it, and I’m so thankful to be in the game.”
