Remedy Reveals 'Control Resonant' at The Game Awards, a 2026 Sequel Starring Dylan Faden

Remedy is repositioning the series with an open-ended, melee-focused action RPG built for newcomers.

Overview

  • Set in a perception-bending Manhattan after the Oldest House lockdown collapses, with the Hiss and other paranatural threats spilling into the city.
  • Players take on Dylan Faden, deployed by the Federal Bureau of Control and searching for his missing sister, Jesse.
  • Combat centers on the Aberrant, a shapeshifting melee weapon that switches forms such as a two-handed hammer and dual blades.
  • Creative director Mikael Kasurinen says the game is open-ended rather than open-world, adding deeper progression, real choices and distinctive builds.
  • Release is planned for 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, and Mac.
