Control Resonant, the upcoming sequel to Remedy Entertainment’s Control, will be released on September 24th, 2026, according to a trailer that premiered during Tuesday’s PlayStation State of Play show.
The trailer also gave a preview of the game’s story, which stars Dylan Faden, who was imprisoned for much of the first game. He will be the “sole playable character,” Remedy’s Mikael Kasurinen says in a blog post, but his sister Jesse, who was the protagonist of Control, also “shapes the path” in Resonant.
”In Resonant, we go further into the Fadens’ complicated past. Their lives have been anything but easy, and the cost of what they carry is about to come due,” writes Kasurinen. “What lies ahead will push them further than either has gone before.”
