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.

Remedy's Control Resonant Bets Big on Melee Flair in a Surreal NYC

Remedy’s Control Resonant shifts the series toward fast, melee-focused action set in a surreal, reality-warped New York City. Dylan Faden wields the transformable Aberrant across three weapon forms, supplemented by telekinesis, shields, and upgradeable perks accessed via The Gap, all while tackling a dizzying array of enemies in a non-open-world, open-ended city. The game aims for stylish, high-octane combos and crowd control, with heavier emphasis on rhythm and flow, releasing September 24, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Control Resonant shifts the spotlight from Jesse to Dylan Faden, exploring years of trauma, captivity, and a fragile humanity as he seeks redemption. Remedy frames a more personal, morally gray story within the Control universe, set in a glitchy Manhattan where Dylan’s pursuit of heroism is tangled with the consequences of the experiments that shaped him, while still delivering the series’ signature paranatural worldbuilding.

Remedy Seeks Distinct Look for Control Resonant, Skipping AAA Mold

Remedy’s Control Resonant dev diary reveals a deliberate shift toward a wider exterior world and greater enemy variety, with art director Elmeri Raitanen noting the team avoids referencing other AAA games to prevent an 'aesthetic singularity'; the game emphasizes grounded world-building, performance capture, and audio logs, and introduces New Game Plus that preserves upgrades while preventing traversal abilities from carrying over, with a 2026 release window but no exact date yet.

Control Resonant Teases a Fresh Open-World Chapter for Dylan Faden

Remedy previews Control Resonant as an open-world follow-up set in Manhattan, delivering a flexible melee system with the Aberrant and a dodge-based flow (no parry) that fuels a momentum-driven combat loop.

The game blends Control lore with influences from InFamous, Evangelion, Bayonetta, and Alan Wake 2 to showcase Remedy's distinct twist on the familiar world.
