During PlayStation’s State of Play showing earlier Remedy Entertainment popped up with a new trailer for their upcoming action adventure sequel Control Resonant.
The trailer explores Dylan Faden’s (played by Sean Durrie) dramatic journey as he is sent by the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC) into the heart of a supernatural crisis. A new, otherworldly form of resonance, alongside the Hiss and the Mold, is warping the city as a mysterious cosmic force reshapes reality itself. For this mission, Dylan is joined by a new FBC ally Zoe de Vera, alongside returning fan favorites Simon Arish and Emily Pope from the original Control. With his sister, Federal Bureau of Control Director Jesse Faden, missing, Dylan must step into a role he was never prepared for, becoming humanity’s last line of defense.
Although I was initially sceptical of the game’s focus on melee combat, this trailer has completely turned me around on the prospect of playing as Dylan Faden. I genuinely can not wait to get my hands on this game, those that know me will know that Alan Wake 2 is in my top 3 games of all time. So, I can’t wait to see what lessons Remedy Entertainment has taken from that title into Control Resonant. Hopefully improving upon their unique style of storytelling. Especially with the two IPs sharing the same universe.
Thankfully we don’t have too long to wait for release. Control Resonant will launch worldwide on September 24, 2026. Pre-orders for both digital and physical editions are now open for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, and Epic Games Store.
Interestingly, the deluxe edition comes with 48-hours early access. However, the information we have received makes it sound like that will only be available for the PS5. I have asked for clarification on this and if I receive a response I will add it below.
