The wild launch trailer for Control has arrived

Action packed, weird as all get out, and more than a little disturbing at times, the launch trailer for Remedy’s Control is here.

Taking Control

Believe it or not, Control is almost here. Developer Remedy’s supernatural action/horror affair is landing in stores at a the end of this month and it’s looking mighty, well, odd in this final pre-launch trailer.

Of course, the strangeness of it all is a big part of the game’s charm. It revels in it, basing its entire premise on a “house” that blurs the lines between realities. Control though, seems no one trick pony either, as there’s a ton of great looking action in this new video.

Check it out:

After a secretive agency in New York is invaded by an otherworldly threat, players will take on the role of Jesse Faden, the new Director struggling to regain Control. This sandbox-style, gameplay-driven experience built on the proprietary Northlight engine challenges players to master a combination of supernatural abilities, modifiable loadouts and reactive environments while fighting through the deep and mysterious worlds Remedy is known and loved for.

Remedy press release

Control is showing right now at Gamescom in Germany, and will land in stores on August 27th. Expect it for Epic Games Store on the PC, as well as the Xbox One and PS4.
