CONTROL Resonant: Release Date, Platforms & Gameplay Details

CONTROL Resonant, Remedy Entertainment’s sequel to Control, launched worldwide on September 24, 2026. This guide summarizes the release information and gameplay details Remedy has publicly confirmed. It is not a hands-on review.

Release date and platforms

Remedy lists CONTROL Resonant as available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store, and GeForce NOW. The studio says Mac versions through Steam and the App Store are planned to follow later in 2026. Check your regional store for current availability.

Who do you play as?

The sequel shifts the lead role to Dylan Faden, Jesse Faden’s brother. Remedy’s announcement describes Dylan as sent by the Federal Bureau of Control into a supernatural crisis in Manhattan, where he is trying to survive and find Jesse. The story moves beyond the Oldest House and follows the FBC’s response to a threat that is reshaping the city.

How does the gameplay differ from Control?

Remedy describes CONTROL Resonant as an open-ended action-adventure RPG. The combat footage and official descriptions center on Dylan’s supernatural abilities and the Aberrant, a shapeshifting melee weapon. The revealed gameplay also shows altered spaces called Gravity Anomalies, where gravity and orientation can change.

Manhattan is organized around large, distinct zones with side activities, hidden encounters, and optional discoveries. Remedy has described expansive zones and open-ended exploration, but not a single seamless city sandbox. The earlier version of this page included details Remedy had not confirmed; those claims have been removed.

Do you need to play Control first?

CONTROL Resonant is a sequel, but Remedy says it is designed to welcome both newcomers and returning fans. The story continues the same universe and brings back Jesse Faden as part of Dylan’s search, so players who know the first game will recognize the connection. Remedy has not said that players must finish Control before starting Resonant.

What is confirmed about the game’s scope?

Remedy calls CONTROL Resonant its most expansive game to date. The studio develops and publishes the game, with Annapurna Pictures co-financing and co-producing it through a strategic partnership. These details describe the project’s setting, structure, and production; they do not establish specific performance targets or guarantee how every area will behave in play.
