Happy Summer Game Fest! The summer is heating up, as so is our excitement as we drop another trailer for you to enjoy, and to get excited about before the game launches on September 24th.

The Paranatural Manhattan trailer brings back a familiar character from the first CONTROL game – Emily Pope returns, although in a slightly different role than previously. It's been seven years since the Federal Bureau of Control established the lockdown in the Oldest House. A lot has changed in that time… but seemingly not Pope's enthusiasm about everything strange and unexplained, if what she's saying in the trailer is anything to go by. 

We are very proud of CONTROL Resonant and this trailer. Paranatural Manhattan in CONTROL Resonant is composed of the most varied, largest and most visually diverse environments we have ever crafted for a Remedy game.  

Each biome you delve into as Dylan Faden will bring a distinct gameplay experience. You will be above ground and below – and you will often step into dimensions previously unexplored. The world is alive around you, rich with engaging story missions and side-quests, head-scratching puzzles, and dynamic, breathtaking boss fights. You choose your own path. Although the majority of CONTROL Resonant takes place outside, you will also find yourself in areas of the Oldest House that haven't been seen in CONTROL. 

Another thing we're excited about – the trailer features an exclusive song by Finnish ethno-pop artist Vilma Jää. The song Manalan Mailla is inspired by the Ingrian ensemble runonlaulu tradition, and is available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music, and other select streaming platforms right now.

Nothing stays contained forever. Not the Hiss, and not our release date. We’re really happy to announce that CONTROL Resonant will launch on September 24th 2026!  

A new story trailer is out for you to enjoy and find hidden clues in. Especially pay attention to ████████ ████ ██ ████. 

Dylan Faden is at the center of the story, and our only playable character. However, the Faden siblings’ stories and destinies are intricately, inevitably, inseparably connected. They shape each other’s stories – Dylan’s journey is shaped by Jesse’s action. As Jesse’s journey in CONTROL was shaped by Dylan’s actions. Jesse remains central to the story of CONTROL Resonant, but it’s Dylan moving the story forward. 

In CONTROL, Dylan was the face of the enemy – corrupted and controlled by the Hiss. That’s in the past – but who is he today? 

Watch our brand new story trailer to see Dylan taking control for the first time in his life, after years of imprisonment by the FBC. Now, he’s the only hope humanity has amidst a paranatural disaster.

In CONTROL Resonant, New Game+ lets you start a fresh run while carrying over much of your progression from your first playthrough, including Aberrant upgrades, unlocked supernatural combat abilities, Talents, Artifacts, and health and combat resource upgrades.

The idea behind New Game+ is not simply to become stronger, but to give players more room to experiment with builds and combat combinations that weren’t possible in your first run.

As you progress through New Game+, you’ll unlock additional talent nodes and gain more flexibility in how combat abilities can be combined, including equipping multiple abilities from the same Resonant boss. You’ll also unlock a fourth Artifact slot, opening up more ways to customize your build and adapt to different situations.

Artifacts are equippable modifiers that can affect combat, survivability, exploration, and more - often with conditions or trade-offs that encourage different playstyles. You’ll discover untapped Artifacts throughout the world and craft them in the Gap, the dreamlike metaphysical space connected to Dylan’s psyche.

Manhattan itself continues to evolve. Enemies grow more dangerous, encounters shift, and some Resonants can behave differently depending on how and when you face them. A strategy that worked before may not work the same way the next time around. 

Returning to Manhattan is also an opportunity to uncover things you may have missed the first time, from World Quests and Bounties to collectibles, side stories, and different outcomes in certain conversations and World Quests. 

We’re excited to see the different builds and playstyles players discover once they step back into Manhattan.

Remedy Entertainment’s CONTROL Resonant will launch in 2026 with full support for latest NVIDIA RTX technologies, delivering cutting-edge visual fidelity powered by DLSS 4.5 and path-traced rendering.

To this day, Control [www.nvidia.com]remains a graphical showcase, with immersive ray-traced effects enhancing every aspect of the experience.

CONTROL Resonant takes image quality and immersion to the next level with path-traced effects and RTX Mega Geometry, enhanced by DLSS Ray Reconstruction, and accelerated by DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation.

“The world of CONTROL Resonant is packed with rich detail, and path-traced lighting takes it to the next level,” said Tatu Aalto, Technical Director of Graphics at Remedy Entertainment. “With DLSS 4.5 and Ray Reconstruction, players get outstanding image quality and stability along with performance that lets them fully enjoy the experience.”

Watch the exclusive trailer below for your first look at CONTROL Resonant enhanced with NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 and full path tracing.

At the end of February, we invited media from around the world to take a deeper look at CONTROL Resonant during a special gameplay presentation hosted by Creative Director Mikael Kasurinen and Lead Gameplay Designer Sergey Mohov. 

Now the embargo has lifted, and outlets have started sharing their hands-off previews and impressions of the game. 

Here are some highlights from the coverage: 

• “Thanks to advancements in the Northlight Engine, Remedy has pushed its physics-driven gameplay further with larger outdoor spaces, longer draw distances, and significantly more enemies active on screen.” - https://80.lv/articles/control-resonant-will-be-an-aciton-rpg-taking-advantage-of-remedy-s-northlight-engine 

• “Logo de início, ficou evidente que a proposta de Resonant é a de um RPG de ação com identidade própria.” - Combo Infinito[www.comboinfinito.com.br] 

• “Like the world of InFamous, what makes Resonant exciting is what we don't know: what Dylan is capable of or what weird things are out there in that world.” - GameSpot[www.gamespot.com] 

• “Control Resonant trades shooting for a shapeshifting sword because "melee is cool", its creative director tells me, and he's not wrong.” - GamesRadar+[www.gamesradar.com] 

• “But after seeing Control Resonant’s aggressive, fast-paced combat for myself, I’m even more fired up to get my hands on it.” - IGN 

• “With a new protagonist, a new setting, and a shift from gunplay to melee combat, it's shaking up pretty much every element of the formula.” - PC Gamer 

• “公開された情報は開発段階のものであり、全体のごく一部に過ぎないが、それでも本作が操作感、爽快感、戦術性に重きを置いたアクション作品であることは強く実感できた。” - Famitsu[www.famitsu.com] 

• “Control Resonant looks quite different from its predecessor, feeling more like a character-action game like Devil May Cry mixed with the open-world city-stomping of Infamous and gravity-bending movement of Gravity Rush.” - Polygon[www.polygon.com] 

• “Control Resonant is shapeshifting up to be one of my most anticipated games of the year.” - GAMINGbible[www.gamingbible.com] 

• “Plutôt que de faire une suite stricto sensu, le studio a préféré sortir de sa zone de confort afin de concevoir un Action-RPG pur et dur avec son lot de mécaniques inhérentes au genre.” - JeuxVideo[www.jeuxvideo.com] 

• “Remedy will wachsen, neue Wege beschreiten, seinen Maßstab erhöhen.” - GameStar[www.gamestar.de] 

• “Remedy ci ha trasmesso sensazioni nel complesso positive e una piacevole sensazione di freschezza.” - https://www.everyeye.it/articoli/anteprima-control-resonant-punta-alto-piace-66855.html 

…and many more outlets around the globe. 

Check out the full previews and impressions from the outlets above. 

We’re excited to see the reactions so far - and there’s much more to share about CONTROL Resonant in the months ahead.

Hello, hopeful FBC Agents, Prime Candidates, CONTROL community!  

We just revealed the very first more detailed look at CONTROL Resonant's gameplay. If you missed it, check it out now: 

In CONTROL Resonant, you take on the mantle of Dylan Faden as he steps out of the Oldest House for the first time in his adult life, and is tasked by the Federal Bureau of Control, his erstwhile captors, to do something about the many supernatural threats that have broken containment and besieged Manhattan.  

In the gameplay video we've shown you some of the things Dylan's shapeshifting melee weapon, the Aberrant, can do. You can see it change shape to multiple different forms – and there are more forms we've yet to show. 

We've seen some of you speculate on the game title, and now you know – it's called CONTROL Resonant because Resonants will be the biggest, toughest enemies Dylan will encounter on his quest to save Manhattan. 

Do you want to know more about CONTROL Resonant gameplay and what awaits you in a Hiss-ified New York City? Keep an eye on our social media as we break down even more details of the gameplay trailer for you in the coming weeks. Also, we will talk PC specific details… soon 😉 Stay tuned! 

Thank you for the excitement and support for our upcoming game!  

Wishlist CONTROL Resonant so you're ready when it comes out this year. It's going to get weirder.
