Get ready, Agents! Remedy Entertainment has just dropped a bombshell – the release date for Control: Resonance is fast approaching. The highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed Control, originally released in 2019, promises to deliver an even more surreal and action-packed experience. Prepare to dive back into the twisted world of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC) on September 24th for PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X!
A Rude Awakening Awaits
The latest trailer offers a glimpse into the unsettling reality that awaits protagonist Dylan Faden. Locked away in a plexiglass prison cell within the FBC, Dylan is far from comfortable. The trailer features him getting a “rude awakening,” hinting at the challenges and dangers he’s about to face. This isn’t just another day at the office for Agent Faden; he’re thrust into a desperate fight against a mysterious cosmic entity that’s warping reality itself.
“You’re not FBC, you’re not even fucking human,” a stern-faced FBC agent tells Dylan during a torrential downpour. While Agent Faden is about to save everyone’s lives, he’s also being reminded of his unique and somewhat unsettling nature. This sets the stage for a narrative filled with intrigue, danger, and plenty of bureaucratic red tape.
Meet Dylan Faden: The Key to Saving Reality
[[LINK_8: According to the game’s official site]] actor Sean Durrie brings Dylan Faden to life, describing him as follows:
“After years in confinement at the hands of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), Dylan Faden’s former captors are deploying him at the peak of a supernatural crisis. Charged with combating a mysterious cosmic entity as it alters fundamental aspects of our reality, Dylan must harness his new-found powers to take the fight to the myriad threats overwhelming Manhattan. On the path to unlocking the full potential of his supernatural abilities, Dylan will also seek out his sister, FBC Director Jesse Faden, as he bids to comprehend and contain the dangers that have spilled beyond the confines of the Oldest House to tear our world apart.”
Manhattan Reimagined: A World Warped by Resonance
[[LINK_9: During a preview event back in March]] Remedy’s Mikael Kasurinen, creative director for Control: Resonance, explained that while the first Control focused on isolation within the Oldest House, the sequel will “turn things upside down” by unleashing players into a distorted and trippy version of Manhattan. This means enemies can manipulate reality itself, but Dylan can bend gravity to his advantage, creating dynamic and strategic gameplay opportunities.
A New Breed of Action RPG
Control: Resonance takes a bold step away from its predecessor, embracing the action RPG genre with deep progression and customization options. Players can build unique playstyles around a variety of special abilities and Dylan’s shapeshifting weapon, the Aberrant. The game retains the signature Control aesthetic – brutalist architecture, surreal vibes, offbeat humor, and dramatic lighting – but elevates it to new heights.
