Control Resonant Overview
Control: Resonant is an upcoming action-RPG sequel from Remedy Entertainment, set to be released in Q2 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games. The narrative shifts its focus from Jesse Faden to her brother, Dylan Faden.
Seven years after the original title, the setting moves out of the FBC's Oldest House to a quarantined Manhattan that has been warped into a surreal battlefield by a new paranatural entity, forcing Dylan to utilize his volatile psychic abilities to contain the crisis while searching for his missing sister.
Key gameplay mechanics differentiate the title by embracing a full Action-RPG structure with an open-ended world, and transforming the core combat into a more aggressive, melee-focused system centered around the Aberrant, a shapeshifting Object of Power that combines with deep player customization and progression systems.
