SDCC ’26: Remedy queuing up Control Resonant panel

Fans of developer Remedy’s unique multiverse might want to check out the Control Resonant panel. It’s set to hit Comic Con next weekend.

Control returns, at SDCC

Control was a pretty big hit when it dropped in 2019, not to mention one of the biggest new properties to spin out of Remedy in a while. Well, sort of anyway. The game was eventually linked to the likes of Alan Wake, creating a brand new multiverse. At least, we think it was, as things have gotten a bit murkier since that reveal.

Nevertheless, the next installment of Control is incoming, and set to arrive this fall. Fans looking for the return of heroine Jesse Faden were in for a shock though, as the sequel introduces a brand new star. While Jesse looks to still be present, Control Resonant’s spotlight is on her brother, Dylan.

That’s not all either, as former setting of The Oldest House will give way to greater Manhattan. Not that this is the City that we all know, as it’s been overrun with… weird. The infection seems to play off of Dylan’s own dubious mind as well, as players enter into a world that reflects his mental state.

As for the action, it looks like that’ll be shaken up for this sequel as well. Taking control of Dylan will mean wielding a “shapeshifting melee weapon” called the Aberrant.

In CONTROL Resonant, players will explore multiple areas of Manhattan in an expansive, unfamiliar world as an invading cosmic force reshapes the environment, defiles natural law and distorts gravity, reordering reality into a geophysical nightmare. Players will traverse perception-bending locations and journey beyond the material world into a mysterious metaphysical space reflecting Dylan Faden’s troubled psyche. Tap into power that Dylan must learn to master and make choices to shape abilities that manifest and grow while exploring a deep progression system. Face ever-changing threats head-on, utilizing the environment, unleashing elemental abilities and wielding the raw force Dylan’s shapeshifting melee weapon, the Aberrant.    

Remedy Entertainment press release

Control Resonant is set to hit the PS5, XBOX Series X|S, and PC on September 24th, 2026.

From NYC to SDCC

While Control Resonant takes place in the core of the Big Apple, we’ve got that panel to talk about. And as we mentioned above, that will be smack dab in the middle of the San Diego Comic Con. Hosted by Remedy Entertainment, the event looks like it’ll be fully loaded with talent.

Fans seeking the latest word/look at the game will find all of the major voice talent in attendance. Those would be actors Sean Durrie (Dylan Faden), Matthew Porretta (Dr. Darling), Frankie Kevich (Zoe De Vera), and Jesse Faden herself, Courtney Hope.
