Overview
- Remedy confirmed in a developer interview that players will control Dylan Faden and that the game tells the story from his perspective after years inside the Oldest House.
- Combat has been redesigned as a melee-first system built around the Aberrant, a shape-shifting weapon that encourages aggressive, improvisational close-quarters fights.
- The game world expands beyond the Oldest House into a warped Manhattan made of handcrafted 'bubbles' or zones, each with its own time of day, tone, and physics.
- Progression centers on earning 'families of powers' from defeated Resonant Entities where players choose one power per family and combine talents, artifacts, and modular outfit pieces to define playstyle.
- Control Resonant is slated for release on September 24, 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and macOS, and pre-order details including a PS5-only 48-hour early-access Digital Deluxe perk have prompted player criticism over platform parity.
