Remedy Entertainment touts CONTROL Resonant as a must-own title on day one across major platforms, with the studio aiming to turn it into a lasting franchise; early hands-on praise and strong pre-orders buoy expectations in a crowded autumn release window, while Max Payne 1 & 2 remakes remain in development.
Remedy reports Alan Wake 2 has sold over 3 million copies in the January–June period, making it the studio’s fastest-selling game and helping move toward profitability after a slow start; PC remains Epic Games Store exclusive, which may have limited Steam sales. Despite the milestone, Remedy warns of declines in revenue, profit, and cash flow as it funds Control Resonant and other projects, with three titles in development, including Control Resonant due Sept. 24 on PC/PS5/Xbox Series X/S and the Max Payne remakes plus an unannounced project.
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 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’s Control Resonant, a major Fall 2026 action RPG, will offer 48-hour early access exclusively to players who preorder the PS5 Digital Deluxe Edition, making the PS5 version more valuable despite the game being multiplatform. Xbox/PC players face a disadvantage, prompting backlash and discussion about platform deals and publisher decisions, with responses from Remedy’s communications director adding to the controversy.
Remedy confirms Control Resonant will launch on September 24, 2026 for PS5, releasing on the same day as Silent Hill: Townfall, and a new trailer has been released.
Control Resonant is confirmed to launch September 24, 2026 after a Sony State of Play trailer. The trailer outlines Dylan’s continuing story and how the Fadens’ destinies intertwine, with pre-orders offering 48 hours of early access plus cosmetics, a digital artbook, the original soundtrack, an artifact, and the AWE mission outfit for Dylan.
Remedy previews Control Resonant, a new entry in the Control series that expands exploration, adds a new playable character, and emphasizes cross‑platform play with Xbox Play Anywhere. Remedy is self‑publishing and working with ID@Xbox to bring the game to Xbox and PC, including handheld optimization and a broader, more vertical open world set in a city, while preserving connections to prior events and characters.
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: Ultimate Edition is now available on iPhone and iPad for $5, includes the full game and DLC, and features a touchscreen-optimized UI (with controller support available). It runs on iPhone models with the A17 Pro and iPads with M-series chips or A17 Pro, while older devices like the basic iPad with A16 are excluded. Early hands-on notes praise smooth performance on recent hardware and mention a minor gripe with sprinting controls, signaling another AAA title entering Apple’s platform lineup.
Remedy released Control Ultimate Edition for iPhone and iPad, rebuilt for touch with redesigned UI and gameplay tweaks, and even supports ray tracing on compatible hardware. The mobile port is priced at $4.99 and includes all previously released content.
Remedy's Control Resonant preview highlights DNA from inFAMOUS: Second Son, with fast, punchy melee combat, an Aberrant shape-shifting hammer, and city-based traversal. Melee hits fuel abilities, stuns set up finishers, and a smooth combat loop aims to melt enemies, all within a Remedy-style urban sandbox that isn’t fully open-world but emphasizes a cityscape vibe.
Remedy Entertainment’s Control Resonant team responds to memes criticizing its dialogue from the State of Play trailer, saying they know how to write good dialogue and that the viral critique reflects an isolated moment. They note much of the dialogue shown was placeholder and emphasize the game’s broader storytelling goals. Control Resonant is slated for 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Remedy’s Control Resonant is a melee-focused RPG sequel where Dylan is the playable lead (Jesse Faden isn’t playable). It features skill trees and the Aberrant weapon, two quest types (Dylan’s Journey and World Quests), a redesigned map, no open world slog, a dodge-based combat system with no parry, a 60fps target on console and PC, and an on-the-move dialogue system with a single ending, plus Dylan’s outfits are customizable.
