Control goes up for pre-order, gets new trailer

Remedy’s supernatural action-thriller Control is officially available for pre-order. It’s got a new trailer too, filled with super-powered gameplay.

Exhibiting Control

Control is one of the more exciting titles coming up in 2019, and plays off of a wholly original premise. It surrounds a place called The Oldest House, a site where different dimensions bleed into one another.

You play as Jesse Faden, a government agent trapped in the House. Things play out in sandbox style, and the game features “supernatural abilities, modifiable loadouts and reactive environments”. Emphasis on that last part.

More to control

With the pre-order, of course comes incentives. Those who wrap up their copy of Control early will get “two exclusive in-game items; the Tactical Response Gear outfit for Jesse and a Crafting Resources Pack.”

The PS4 edition has some extra content as well, if you’re on the fence about which platform to buy for. Control on the PS4 comes complete with “Rare Service Weapon and Player mods, the Astral Dive suit for Jesse and two themes showcasing the unique world of Control.”

Want more? The Deluxe Edition includes “collectible FuturePak Exclusive Metal Packaging and limited-edition art cards”. The PS4 also gets in on the Deluxe Edition action digitally, with an edition that includes all of the base game’s goodies plus ““Isolation” and an additional exclusive outfit, Jesse’s Urban Response Gear. This version will also come with two Expansion packs, “The Foundation” and “AWE” (available at a later date following launch). Each pack will contain new locations, story content, side missions and mods. Full details of the pre-order options can be found on the game’s website.”

Control hits the PS4, Xbox One, and PC on August 27th.c
