This time, you play as Dylan Faden. He wakes up from a coma<\/strong> and heads into a paranaturally warped Manhattan outside the Oldest House, searching for Jesse Faden alongside Federal Bureau of Control agent Zoe De Vera. Remedy is also taking the action in a different direction. The first game leaned on gunplay; Control Resonant shifts toward faster, melee-driven action RPG combat built around the shapeshifting Aberrant, movement, chaining abilities together, and a vertical city that sounds far more open-ended.<\/p>\n\n

You\u2019ll also be up against Resonants, corrupted enemies with a boss-like role<\/strong> that unlock new combat abilities. One detail still needs an asterisk, though: the widely reported magma-spitting \u201cDeserter\u201d still hasn\u2019t been publicly confirmed. Remedy says the original Control had sold 6 million copies by May 2026 and reached more than 20 million players, and the studio adds that Control Resonant had passed 1.5 million wishlists by August 2026, with top-three PS5 pre-orders in the US, Germany, and Brazil.<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019ve been hoping for a stranger, riskier, more melee-focused take on Control, this one looks easy to keep an eye on, even with Jesse Faden\u2019s disappearance, the main antagonist, and Manhattan\u2019s real scale<\/strong> still not fully clear. You\u2019ll be able to pick up Control Resonant on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC at launch.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
