Remedy Debuts Control Resonant Gameplay at State of Play, Showcasing Melee Combat and Gravity-Bending Manhattan

The direct sequel shifts to Dylan Faden wielding the shapeshifting Aberrant across large, distinct zones instead of a traditional open world.

Overview

  • An extended trailer at PlayStation’s State of Play presents early-mission footage that pivots the series to melee-centric action with Aberrant forms such as Hammer, Blades, Scythe and Fists.
  • Dylan navigates a warped Manhattan where architecture rotates and gravity breaks, using a Shift ability to run on walls and choose his orientation in gravity anomalies.
  • Remedy outlines a zone-based structure, spotlighting the West Incursion Zone filled with side activities, hidden encounters and optional discoveries guided by a central narrative.
  • Powerful bosses called Resonants grant new combat abilities when defeated, while familiar threats like the Hiss and the Mold also challenge players.
  • The game is slated for 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, with a specific launch date still unannounced.
