Remedy’s Control sequel, ‘Control Resonant,’ lands in September with a surprising new protagonist
Remedy Entertainment’s upcoming sequel to *Control*, titled *Control Resonant*, now has a confirmed release date. According to a trailer that premiered during Tuesday’s PlayStation State of Play broadcast, the game will launch on September 24th, 2026. The same trailer also offered a first look at the story, which shifts focus to a character who spent much of the first game behind bars.
New Lead Character and Story Direction
The central figure in *Control Resonant* is Dylan Faden, the brother of the original game’s protagonist, Jesse Faden. In the 2019 *Control*, Dylan was imprisoned for the majority of the narrative, serving as a key plot element rather than a playable character. The trailer suggests the sequel will explore his perspective and experiences following the events of the first game. Remedy has not yet disclosed whether Jesse Faden will appear or play a supporting role in this installment.
Trailer Details and Gameplay Context
The PlayStation State of Play trailer, which aired on Tuesday, provided the first official glimpse of *Control Resonant* in motion. Beyond the release date reveal, the footage showed environmental details that appear to expand the Federal Bureau of Control’s Oldest House setting. The trailer emphasized the sequel’s supernatural themes and tight third-person action, consistent with the series’ established tone. Specific gameplay mechanics or combat systems were not detailed in the broadcast segment.
Development and Platform Information
Remedy Entertainment, the Finnish studio behind *Alan Wake* and the original *Control*, is developing *Control Resonant* as a direct narrative follow-up. The original *Control* was released in 2019 and received critical acclaim for its atmospheric world-building and physics-based combat. A release date of September 24th, 2026 places the sequel roughly seven years after the original launch. Platform availability for *Control Resonant* has not been announced beyond the PlayStation State of Play showcase, though the first game eventually appeared on Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch via cloud streaming.
