Control Resonant Expands Remedy’s Weird World Into a City‑Scale Hack‑and‑Slash

Remedy’s Control Resonant shifts from the eerie Oldest House to a fractured, Hiss-haunted Manhattan and pivots from Control’s shooter roots to a third‑person hack‑and‑slash action RPG starring Dylan Faden. The Aberrant weapon lets him switch forms (including a Bloodborne‑like saw cleaver and a scythe), with early gameplay emphasizing fluid combos, new powers, and expanding skill trees, all while the Remedy Connected Universe hints at bigger mysteries (Polaris, the Former). The preview praises the combat feel and the game’s confident world‑building, suggesting Resonant could be a bold, more conventional entry that still preserves its signature weirdness.
