Story

After years in confinement at the hands of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), Dylan Faden’s former captors are deploying him at the peak of a supernatural crisis. Charged with combating a mysterious cosmic entity as it alters fundamental aspects of our reality, Dylan must harness his new-found powers to take the fight to the myriad threats overwhelming Manhattan. Join Dylan in this sequel to the multi-award-winning CONTROL to explore the expansive zones of a city overrun by the corrupting influences of the chaotic Hiss and invasive micro-organism, the Mold, and other twisted paranatural threats. On the path to unlocking the full potential of his supernatural abilities Dylan will also seek out his sister, FBC Director Jesse Faden, as he bids to comprehend and contain the dangers that have spilled beyond the confines of the Oldest House to tear our world apart.

What is happening now

Control Resonant is an action-RPG combining hack-and-slash combat with adventure elements, arriving on current-generation consoles and PC this September. Remedy Entertainment is developing the title, and early coverage suggests the studio is leaning into the psychological and surreal sensibilities the developer is known for. Previews indicate the game aims to deliver not just visceral action sequences, but also the kind of narrative disorientation and atmospheric weirdness that has defined Remedy's previous work. The game launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, PC, and Mac.
