TLDR

Remedy Entertainment lists CONTROL Resonant for September 24 on PC, with console preorders also open. The sequel follows Dylan Faden into a distorted Manhattan and gives him supernatural abilities and a weapon that changes form. In an early review, French outlet JVCom gave it 16/20, praising its art direction, movement and inventive spaces while criticizing progression friction and repetitive combat. That is one outlet's assessment, not a verdict on how all players will receive the game.

Remedy Entertainment's Steam listing sets CONTROL Resonant's release for September 24. The studio has also shared preorder links for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This time the supernatural crisis has spread into Manhattan, and Dylan Faden steps out of the Federal Bureau of Control's confinement to confront it.

Remedy describes a broader action-RPG structure built around powers, progression and the Aberrant, a shapeshifting melee weapon. The setup makes Dylan, rather than his sister Jesse, the playable center of the sequel.

The first critical reactions are more specific than the launch-week excitement. JVCom's review post awards the game 16/20 and praises its art direction, freedom of movement and inventive level design. It also says progression can feel persistently abrasive and that combat becomes repetitive and messy. Those reservations are JVCom's judgment; players will be able to assess the finished game when it launches.
