Remedy Sets Control Resonant as Dylan-Led, Melee Action-RPG in Twisted Manhattan

New previews spotlight aggressive close-quarters combat with deep buildcrafting that redefines the sequel’s core loop.

Overview

  • Dylan Faden is the only playable lead, with Remedy clarifying that Jesse Faden is not playable though present in the story.
  • Combat pivots to the Aberrant, a morphing melee weapon that fuels abilities through close engagement, with dodge but no parry and no Soulslike design.
  • Extensive RPG systems include talent trees, weapon forms, Resonant rewards, and The Gap customization hub, with specialization encouraged and not all upgrades unlockable in one run.
  • The setting is a warped Manhattan divided into large zones with World Quests and a cleaner, less cluttered map, explicitly avoiding a traditional open world.
  • Remedy targets 60 FPS on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with a 2026 release planned across those platforms plus Mac.
