CONTROL Resonant is out now.Step into a reality-warping Manhattan as Dylan Faden and experience Remedy’s paranatural action RPG, combining powerful abilities, intense combat and deep exploration in a world unlike anything we’ve created before.A message from Creative Director Mikael Kasurinen:“This took seven years. Not because of a single choice or feature, but to get the complexity of our ambition to feel right.“It wasn’t easy, but easy wasn’t the point. We wanted to make something that provokes. Something that feels like nothing you’ve played before.“We made plenty of mistakes. Rebuilt things, threw them out, tried again,
CONTROL Resonant launch hotfix addresses enemy health and combat strength2026-09-24As the game launches globally today, CONTROL Resonant has already been in the hands of a significant number of players. We have been keeping a close eye on player feedback, reading all the reviews, and looking at early player data. And, of course, we have been spending a lot (a lot!) of time playing the final game ourselves over the past few weeks. It's great to see players enjoying the game and having a great time with it. Based on what we have seen so far, we have decided to deploy a hotfix (1.3.3) at launch to address a few specific things: enemy health pools feeling too high, requiring too many hits to Falter (stun) enemies for executions

How We Built CONTROL Resonant’s Expanded Assist Mode2026-09-15Hi everyone. I’m Sergey, Lead Gameplay Designer on CONTROL Resonant. We’re getting really close to our September 24 launch, and the team here in Espoo (and Stockholm) is incredibly excited to finally share what we’ve been building. If you’ve followed our gameplay trailers, you know Resonant marks a massive shift from the original CONTROL. We’ve traded the shifting, brutalist architecture of the Oldest House for the open, paranaturally warped streets of Manhattan. We’ve also swapped Jesse’s gunplay for Dylan’s shapeshifting melee weapon, the Aberrant. Switching to a melee-focused action-RPG meant rethinking our combat loop from the ground up.

Paranatural Manhattan Trailer Out Now2026-06-05Happy 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.

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 o
