Remedy Entertainment has announced the sequel to their acclaimed game Control, titled Control Resonant. The new title is set to launch in 2026 and will feature a shift to an action-RPG format, with the game taking place in an open Manhattan.
The protagonist of Control Resonant is Dylan Faden, the brother of Jesse Faden from the original game. Dylan finds himself embroiled in a supernatural crisis, battling cosmic entities that threaten the very fabric of reality. The game promises a fresh narrative where Dylan must harness his newfound powers to save Manhattan and locate his sister.
According to Remedy’s creative director Mikael Kasurinen, Control Resonant is not a traditional sequel, signifying a departure from the previous game’s format. The sequel will introduce a novel shapeshifting melee weapon, hinting at revamped combat experiences. While not classified as an open-world game, Control Resonant promises a grander scale than anything Remedy has attempted before, with a focus on enhancing combat, exploration, and storytelling.
Kasurinen emphasized that the game is designed for standalone play, allowing players to experience a unique adventure regardless of their familiarity with the original Control.
