Remedy Entertainment just locked in the next chapter of its weird fiction universe. Control Resonant will officially launch globally on September 24, 2026, for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Windows, and macOS. The studio dropped a new story trailer during Sony’s State of Play broadcast to reveal the official title and release date.
This launch is a serious financial test for the Finnish developer. Remedy bought back the Control IP rights from 505 Games for €17 million in February 2024. Now they are self-publishing the sequel with co-financing from Annapurna Pictures. The September 24 date also sets up a direct day-one retail fight against Bloober Team and Konami’s Silent Hill: Townfall.
The story leaves the concrete halls of the Federal Bureau of Control’s “Oldest House” completely behind. The sequel makes Dylan Faden the sole playable character, dropping him into a paranaturally warped Manhattan that is currently being invaded by a reality-bending cosmic threat and the Hiss, according to developer details shared via the PlayStation Blog.
Mechanically, Remedy pushed the game into full action-RPG territory. Control Resonant features large distinct zones, deep progression systems, and a new shapeshifting melee weapon called the “Aberrant” that morphs between forms like a two-handed hammer and dual blades.
Players who want to play before the Thursday launch can secure 48-hour early access by picking up a pre-order copy, which also includes digital cosmetics, a starter resource bundle, and the AWE mission outfit.
