Remedy Entertainment Announces Control Resonant for 2026
Remedy Entertainment, the studio behind the Alan Wake franchise and Control, has just announced a new title in the Control franchise. No, it isn’t Control 2, though it is a sequel, but also something entirely new.
Back in November, we ran a report on how Remedy registered “Control: Resonant,” and, unsurprisingly, that’s what was announced at The Game Awards today.
Here’s your first look at Control Resonant, a new hack-and-slash set in the Control universe.
According to the press release Remedy sent out, players will explore a warped Manhattan on the brink of paranormal annihilation. The title is being pegged as a “thrilling action-adventure RPG,” where you play as Dylan Faden, the brother of Sarah Faden, the main protagonist of Control.
Here’s what the press release had to say:
“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. 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 struggles to comprehend and contain the dangers that have spilled beyond the confines of the Oldest House to tear the world apart.
“CONTROL Resonant pushes our paranatural action RPG series into an expansive, reality-warping playground of choice, power, and consequence,” said Mikael Kasurinen, Creative Director of CONTROL Resonant. “You don’t have to know the first game to jump into the sequel, we’ve made this one easy to pick up and hard to put down. We’re pushing the scale beyond anything we’ve done before, elevating combat, exploration, and storytelling into a bigger, more memorable experience. It’s ambitious, a little wild, and we can’t wait for players to get lost in it.”
In CONTROL Resonant, players will explore multiple areas of Manhattan in an expansive, unfamiliar world as an invading cosmic force reshapes the environment, defiles natural law and distorts gravity, reordering reality into a geophysical nightmare. Players will traverse perception-bending locations and journey beyond the material world into a mysterious metaphysical space reflecting Dylan Faden’s troubled psyche. Tap into power that Dylan must learn to master and make choices to shape abilities that manifest and grow while exploring a deep progression system. Face ever-changing threats head-on, utilizing the environment, unleashing elemental abilities and wielding the raw force Dylan’s shapeshifting melee weapon, the Aberrant.”
Talk about a huge surprise! The game is due out next year on PC and current-gen platforms.
