Control Resonant, the sequel to Control, launches September 24 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game shifts from gunplay to melee combat and replaces protagonist Jesse Faden with her brother Dylan.
Remedy Entertainment's Control Resonant is set to launch September 24. The game was announced during the June 3 State of Play broadcast and received a new trailer and developer commentary at the PC Gaming Show 2026. It will be available on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store, as well as PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Mac support was also mentioned in one preview.
The sequel makes two fundamental changes from the original Control. The protagonist shifts from Jesse Faden to her brother Dylan, who was previously portrayed as an antagonist. The combat system replaces the Service Weapon pistol with a transforming melee weapon called the Aberrant Form. The setting moves from the closed Oldest House to an open, gravity-defying Manhattan distorted by a supernatural force called Resonance. Combat emphasizes three-dimensional movement with floating, aerial dashes, double jumps, melee combos, and psychic abilities. Enemies include the returning Hiss and a new faction called the Mold.
The game is described as a paranormal sci-fi action RPG that expands the scale, systems, and tension of its predecessor. It runs on Remedy's Northlight Engine and introduces a world editor using Universal Scene Description (USD) technology for real-time stage editing. Creative Director Mikael Kasurinen and actor Sean Durrie, who plays Dylan, were interviewed by Game Spark. The game will include Japanese voice and subtitles at launch, addressing a criticism of the original Control.
