The new release window is slated for “early 2021”.
Remedy Entertainment explained in a post to Twitter that the team wants the final quality of the game to be “awesome”, and as such, they need more time to work on it.

Control Ultimate Edition is out now on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
