In an exciting revelation at The Game Awards 2025, Remedy Entertainment has formally announced that the much-anticipated sequel to their celebrated title “Control” will be called “Control Resonant.” This announcement follows speculation from astute trademark enthusiasts who had previously hinted at the title. The game is slated for a 2026 release, offering a new perspective on the original’s gameplay dynamics.
“Control Resonant” signifies a major transformation from the telekinesis-fueled shooting that characterized its predecessor. Instead, players will partake in melee confrontations, employing shapeshifting weapons to tackle the game’s challenges. This novel combat approach unfolds within a Manhattan undergoing a severe reality collapse, adding depth and intrigue to the story.
The game’s plot and environment were subtly foreshadowed in the DLC “The Lake House” for Remedy’s other hit title, “Alan Wake 2.” This DLC provided a dark and insightful commentary on the regression of art and artists, giving players a glimpse of the paranatural aspects they will encounter in “Control Resonant.”
As fans eagerly anticipate its arrival, “Control Resonant” promises a distinctive mix of action, enigma, and the trademark weird fiction style for which Remedy is famous. With its groundbreaking gameplay and engaging storyline, the game is set to enthrall both long-time fans and newcomers to the franchise.
