Explore the World of ‘Control Resonant’ in New Developer Diary [Watch]
Remedy recently dropped a new developer diary entry for Control Resonant, taking viewers on a deep dive into the world and characters of the upcoming action-adventure RPG, and how the devteam built on the foundations that the original Control set for players.
In the video, the team discusses using new protagonist Dylan Faden to expand the Control universe, rather than simply repeating original Control protagonist Jesse Faden’s story. “When we were concepting Control for the first time, one of the key statements that we had, together with [Remedy Creative Director Sam Lake], was that it is a game that is not about the single protagonist,” explains Control Resonant Creative Director Mikael Kasurinen. “It is about the world.”
“As you step into this world, we’re witnessing it through a lens of a protagonist. The protagonist can change in every game, basically.”
In Control Resonant, players take on the role of Dylan Faden (voiced by Sean Durrie), who will explore multiple areas of Manhattan in an expansive, unfamiliar world as an invading cosmic force reshapes the environment, defiles natural law and distorts gravity, reordering reality into a geophysical nightmare. Players will traverse perception-bending locations and journey beyond the material world into a mysterious metaphysical space reflecting Faden’s troubled psyche.
You must tap into power that Dylan must learn to master and make choices to shape abilities that manifest and grow while exploring a deep progression system. Face ever-changing threats head-on, utilizing the environment, unleashing elemental abilities and wielding the raw force Dylan’s shapeshifting melee weapon, the Aberrant.
Control Resonant launches September 24 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

Bullet Heaven Title ‘Yet Another Zombie Survivors’ Launches in Full on August 20 [Trailer]
After sticking around Early Access on Steam for three years, developer Awesome Games Studio has announced that the time has come for their squad-building bullet heaven title Yet Another Zombie Survivors to leave the service and launch in full. That launch will take place on August 20, with the 1.0 launch arriving simultaneously on Steam, GOG, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series, with the Nintendo Switch version following shortly after.
As detailed in the new trailer, version 1.0 is the game’s biggest update yet, including a new Survivor, a new map, and a new game mode.
