Control Resonant Hands-On Preview: No Guns, No Problem for This Melee-Action Sequel
Control Resonant is a melee-focused sequel to the physics-driven third-person shooter Control. Early impressions suggest a potent mix of familiar elements with a new combat focus.
Control Resonant has what it takes to stand out in an exceptionally crowded September release window
Control Resonant, a sequel to Remedy Entertainment's 2019 action-adventure game Control, is set to launch on September 24, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X. The game shifts focus to melee combat and RPG elements, with players controlling Dylan Faden as they navigate a world disrupted by paranormal threats. The preview highlights the game's intricate level design, fluid movement, and customizable combat abilities, aiming to offer a distinct experience from its predecessor.
It was always the plan to make a Dylan-focused game, says Control Resonant art director, but creating a 'high level' world came first — 'We create the world, and then there are opportunities to have these different lenses into it, or different stories'
Remedy Entertainment's art director Elmeri Raitanen confirmed that a game focused on Dylan was always part of the plan for the Control franchise, with the world-building of the first game serving as a foundation. Control Resonant, launching September 24 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, will explore Dylan's perspective, offering a symmetrical narrative to Jesse's in the original Control.
Remedy says Control Resonant's shapeshifting weapon was conceptualized for the first game when it considered enabling Jesse's gun to turn into a sword — 'We really needed to make sure that this is something that works and is fun on a very visceral level'
Remedy Entertainment discusses the development of Control Resonant's melee-focused combat, emphasizing the need for a visceral and fun experience. The idea for a shapeshifting melee weapon originated during the development of the original Control, with the concept being refined for Dylan's character in the new game.
I was worried Control Resonant wouldn't be Control enough, but then I got lost in an infinite bedroom dimension
Remedy Entertainment's upcoming game, Control Resonant, shifts from the original Control's gameplay to a character action style featuring combos and skill trees, with Dylan Faden as the protagonist. While an early demo initially felt less like Control, later sections, including a surreal dimension of infinite bedrooms and a challenging boss fight, showcased Remedy's signature atmosphere and design, offering hope that the game will retain the series' unique identity.
