CONTROL Resonant will expand the supernatural world of Remedy on September 24th
Dylan Faden leaves the Oldest House and finds himself in a distorted Manhattan, and the PC version arrives at the same time as the consoles.
CONTROL Resonant is one of the most anticipated upcoming titles this fall. Remedy Entertainment has confirmed a worldwide release on September 24, 2026, simultaneously for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. For PC players, it's important to note that this isn't a later port: PC is part of the core release plan and will be available from day one.
The sequel focuses on Dylan Faden, who was primarily a mysterious and dangerous figure at the center of the story in the first CONTROL. This time he is a playable character. After years of confinement in the hands of the Federal Bureau of Control, he steps into a world he no longer recognizes: Manhattan is on the brink of paranormal destruction, and reality is literally changing under the influence of a cosmic force. Jesse Faden remains important to the larger story, but the main journey will fall to Dylan.
At Resonant, Remedy uses one of the most recognizable elements of the series: the environment is not just a backdrop, but an active force. In the first installment, the Oldest House was a place where the architecture could change, and the corridors hid more than met the eye. The sequel moves away from this building, giving it a chance to show how the supernatural crisis is behaving in the city. Distorted Manhattan promises bigger zones, different distances and more space to explore, but the key quality will still be the feeling that the world works according to its own rules.
The announced gameplay combines supernatural abilities, weapons and melee combat. Remedy revealed that Dylan will be given shape-shifting weapons, as well as using powers unique to the world of Control. It will be important how the skills complement each other: good combat in this series is not only shooting, but constantly moving, using space and quickly switching between attack, defense and use of the environment.
Basic system requirements are also published. The minimum includes 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, 16 GB of memory, an Intel i5-8500 or comparable AMD processor, and a GeForce GTX 1070 or Radeon RX 5600 XT graphics card with 6 GB of memory. The recommended configuration raises the processor to a Ryzen 7 3700X or comparable Intel and graphics to a GeForce RTX 3070 or Radeon RX 6700 XT, also with at least 16 GB of RAM. The game requires about 100 GB of space, so it makes sense to check the free SSD before the release.
CONTROL Resonant thus has two big challenges. The first is to create a world fresh enough that Manhattan isn't just a bigger version of Oldest House. The second is to justify Dylan as the protagonist without losing the connection to Jesse and the mythology of the first game. If Remedy manages to combine its quirky storytelling with more open-ended exploration and responsive combat, Resonant will be one of fall's major PC titles. A Mac version will follow later in the year, but PC gamers don't have to wait for the release.
