First revealed at The Game Awards last year, the release date for CONTROL Resonant, the sequel to 2019’s critically acclaimed CONTROL, was revealed today at the PlayStation State of Play, alongside details of the game’s pre-order bonuses, various editions, and their prices.
Developed by Remedy Entertainment and co-published with Annapurna Interactive, CONTROL Resonant is releasing on September 24th across PC, PlayStation 5, and XBOX Series X/S, with pre-orders open now.
Check out the Story/Pre-order trailer below.
“CONTROL Resonant is Remedy Entertainment’s most expansive game ever, complete with incredible gameplay, narrative twists and challenging creativity that will keep old fans and new engaged and entertained like nothing we have created before,” said Johannes Paloheimo, Remedy’s Chief Commercial Officer and head of publishing.
CONTROL Resonant has the player take on the role of Dylan Faden, the brother of Jesse, the protagonist from the previous game, and a prisoner-turned-operative for the FBC, the Federal Bureau of Control. Armed with the shape-shifting Object of Power, the Abberant, and similar paranatural abilities as his sibling, Dylan is looking for Jesse, who has gone missing in the warped landscape of Manhattan, twisted by malevolent forces like the Hiss and the Mold.
The trailer gives fans their clearest look at what is going on in CONTROL Resonant, with the mention of an “uncategorised residence” appearing in Manhattan days before the lockdown within the FBC’s headquarters, the Oldest House, fell.
“As he navigates a distorted Manhattan shaped by paranatural forces and shifting realities, the story explores themes of identity, power, and sacrifice. Once a test subject of the FBC, Dylan must now harness his evolving abilities, confront his past, and learn to trust others in a world he was never meant to be part of. In doing so, he must rediscover his humanity – and decide what he’s willing to lose to save what remains,” said Mikael Kasurinen, Creative Director of CONTROL Resonant.
It ends with a breakdown of the various editions players can choose from, including digital and physical releases at launch.
