29 Jul
Summary
- Control Resonant emphasizes aggressive, in-your-face melee combat.
- The game is expected to offer a 30-hour core experience and 50 hours for completionists.
- Players do not need to have played the first Control to enjoy the sequel.
Remedy Entertainment's highly anticipated action-adventure RPG, Control Resonant, is slated for release on September 24, arriving in less than two months. The game promises a significant evolution from its 2019 predecessor, Control, by doubling down on aggressive, in-your-face melee combat. Players will wield a shapeshifting weapon called the Aberrant and utilize supernatural abilities, drawing comparisons to acclaimed hack-and-slash titles.
While drawing its primary identity from the original Control, the development team incorporated lessons from various influences, including Devil May Cry and PlatinumGames' titles, to craft a unique experience. The core gameplay is projected to last around 30 hours, with completionists anticipating approximately 50 hours of content, offering a longer journey than the first game.
Control Resonant is designed for accessibility, allowing new players to fully enjoy the experience without having played the first installment. A recap feature is included on the main menu to aid newcomers, though playing the original game is recommended for enriched narrative context. The game will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC.
