Control Resonant – Remedy’s Supernatural Action Game Expands the Remedy Universe

Remedy Entertainment, the studio known for their work on Alan Wake and the original Control, is back with Control Resonant in September 2026. This game represents the continuation of Remedy’s exploration of supernatural phenomena, government conspiracy, and reality-bending action gameplay.

Control Resonant builds on the foundation established by the original Control, which introduced players to the Federal Bureau of Control – a secret government agency tasked with containing supernatural phenomena. The protagonist’s journey through this organization’s headquarters was a masterclass in environmental storytelling, with each room revealing pieces of a larger mythology.

Resonant promises to deepen the lore established in the original game while introducing new mechanics and environments. Remedy has always been excellent at crafting worlds with distinct visual identities, and Resonant appears no exception. Expect surreal architecture, impossible geometry, and visual designs that make you question what you’re seeing.

The action gameplay in Remedy’s titles tends to emphasize fluidity and style. Combat isn’t just about defeating enemies; it’s about looking cool doing it. Players typically have access to various supernatural abilities alongside conventional weapons, allowing for creative approaches to encounters. This philosophy has aged better than many action games because it prioritizes engagement and feedback over photorealism.

Resonant also represents Remedy’s continued independence. After successfully establishing itself as a major force in gaming without relying on major publisher backing, Remedy has proven that ambitious, mid-tier AAA games can find success in the market. Control Resonant is another showcase of this independence.

For players who loved the original Control or who appreciate Remedy’s particular brand of supernatural storytelling, Resonant represents essential gaming. In a September full of massive blockbusters, this game offers something distinctly Remedy – weird, engaging, and uncompromisingly stylish.
