Control Resonant centers on Dylan, not Jesse Faden, with melee-focused action

Remedy confirms Control Resonant will follow Dylan's story and Jesse Faden will not be playable. The game is described as an action-RPG with a focus on close-range melee, the Aberrant weapon, and momentum-based combat that rewards aggression. It features divided Manhattan zones with World Quests and other encounters, new character Zoe De Vera, and a streamlined map designed to reduce grind. There will be no multiple endings. Release is planned for 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Mac.
