Control Resonant Preview Trades Jesse for Dylan and Manhattan

The sequel moves the series outward from the FBC building to all of Manhattan and swaps a ranged transforming gun for a melee transforming rod, which is the design choice Remedy has to sell before release.

Control Resonant Preview Trades Jesse for Dylan and Manhattan

At Tokyo Game Show 2026, Control Resonant was playable for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC ahead of its September 24 release at 7,920 yen, with a 9,570 yen SteelBook Edition. Set after Control, the sequel follows Jesse's brother Dylan, fights the Hiss across a Manhattan it has covered, and replaces the Service Weapon with the Aberrant, a rod that shifts into swords, a whip, a scythe, an axe, and a hammer.

Control Resonant was shown in hands-on form at Tokyo Game Show 2026 ahead of its September 24 release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It costs 7,920 yen, with a SteelBook Edition at 9,570 yen.

Dylan wakes in the FBC laboratory where he was confined after Jesse shocks him with a black rod, then walks out into a Manhattan already eroded by the Hiss. Where his sister carried the Service Weapon, Dylan summons the Aberrant and shapes it into dual-wielded swords, an axe, a scythe, a whip, or a hammer.
