Control Resonant Launches on PS5 September 24, Expanding Remedy's Sequel Into Warped Manhattan

3 articles · Updated · PlayStation · Sep 18

Summary

  • September 24 is the launch date for Control Resonant on PS5, shifting Remedy’s paranormal action series out of the Oldest House and into a distorted Manhattan.
  • Dylan Faden leads the sequel as a shy, formerly imprisoned protagonist searching for his sister Jesse, with optional dialogue and memory-based side quests adding a more personal story focus.
  • Combat leans heavily into melee and mobility, with six Aberrant weapon forms, multiple skill trees, air dashes, grappling traversal and loadout combinations built around aggressive, strategic play.
  • Manhattan is structured as focused sandbox zones rather than a full open world, mixing story missions, side objectives, arcade challenges and large Resonant boss encounters with stronger horror elements.
  • The sequel broadens Control’s surreal sci-fi formula while preserving its unsettling tone, positioning Resonant as Remedy’s biggest expansion of the series’ paranatural world yet.
