Report: New Trademark for “Control: Resonant” Unearthed, Ahead of TGA
With the announcement of The Game Awards nominees, it’s safe to say we have officially arrived at the season of news and rumors surrounding the event. We are already seeing the effects behind the scenes, from the recent rating for a PC port of Death Stranding 2: On The Beach to Hasbro confirming that Exodus will be part of the The Game Awards lineup.
But this appears to be just the tip of the iceberg, as yet another recent move suggests that an announcement related to the Control franchise could be imminent.
“Control: Resonant” Trademarked by Remedy
This speculation of ours is tied to a recent trademark discovery, as a product titled “CONTROL Resonant” has recently been registered in Europe. The product in question is classified under several tags, including video game services, miscellaneous products (likely for marketing purposes), and the production of entertainment in the form of TV series and cinematographic films.
Now, you might wonder whether this trademark is unrelated to the game franchise, since the owner’s information is hidden, but we can quickly dispel those doubts. If you look at the trademark representative listed in the description, you will see it’s “Nordia Attorneys at Law”, the same representative used by Remedy Entertainment for all of their trademarks.
But what could this project be about? As fans of the company know, a sequel to Remedy’s critically acclaimed game, Control, was announced back in 2022 and entered full production in February of this year. Therefore, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to assume this trademark is related to the sequel.
However, if we recall correctly, this isn’t the only project in the works for the franchise. Another major project revealed in 2022 was Remedy’s collaboration with Annapurna Interactive for the creation of film and TV series adaptations for both Control and the Alan Wake franchise.
Given that The Game Awards event is no stranger to announcements related to video game series and films, if we hypothesize that Control will have a presence at the event, a live-action project reveal would make sense. But an announcement tied to the main game’s sequel would be just as plausible.
Finally, it is worth noting that analysts currently project a 2027 release window for Control 2. Given this timeline, a teaser or reveal at this stage would fit the typical marketing cycle perfectly. However, until we receive word from the studio, we remain waiting for an official confirmation from Remedy.
