Game overview
About CONTROL Resonant
CONTROL Resonant is Remedy Entertainment's single-player action RPG sequel to 2019's Control. You play Dylan Faden in a warped Manhattan after the Oldest House fails to contain the Hiss, the Mold, and a new cosmic Pattern. Combat is melee-first: the shapeshifting Aberrant cycles through forms such as Flurry, Slash, and Slice, then feeds a six-slot ability loadout earned from Resonant bosses. Start with the getting started guide, study Aberrant forms, then compare pre-order editions before launch day.

Pick an edition before launch
Compare the Standard, Digital Deluxe, and SteelBook editions and the edition tool. Digital Deluxe on PS5 is the only SKU with 48-hour early access from 22 September.

Confirm your platform and PC
Digital copies land on PS5, Xbox Series, Steam, and Epic on 24 September. Physical discs follow on 15 October. Check the final PC requirements and platform differences before you buy.

Learn the melee loop
CONTROL Resonant is not a shooter and preview builds have no block or parry. Read combat and the Aberrant forms tier list so Flurry, Slash, Slice, Crush, and Extend make sense on day one.
- 4
Learn Faults and Reach
Manhattan is open-ended zones plus dungeon Faults. Clear Metro Fault to unlock Reach, then use the Manhattan map so hanging streets make sense.

Plan a first build in The Gap
Hold Down on the d-pad to open The Gap. Builds explain ability slots, Talents, Artifacts, and why you cannot unlock every Resonant power in one run.

Know the story cast
You play Dylan Faden hunting missing Director Jesse Faden with FBC handler Zoe de Vera, FBC allies, and a trailer tease for Casper Darling.

FAQ
Wiki FAQ
Quick answers for launch week, pre-orders, and first-hour combat.
When does CONTROL Resonant launch?
Digital launch is 24 September 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store). Physical PS5 and Xbox discs arrive 15 October. The Mac version follows later in 2026. See the release date page.
Is CONTROL Resonant a shooter like the first game?
No. Remedy swapped Jesse's Service Weapon for Dylan's shapeshifting melee Aberrant. The sequel is a single-player action RPG with combos, aerial juggles, talent trees, and Gravity Anomaly traversal. Start with the getting started guide.
Which edition should I buy?
Standard ($59.99) is the full campaign. Digital Deluxe ($69.99) adds the AWE Mission Outfit, soundtrack, artbook, Wallet artifact, starter resources, and PS5-only 48-hour early access. SteelBook ($69.99) is a physical art package. Use the edition comparison.
Which languages are supported?
This wiki supports: English, Français, Deutsch, Español. Configure locales in site.meta.json and run npm run generate:i18n.
Does CONTROL Resonant have multiplayer?
No. CONTROL Resonant is a single-player campaign. FBC: Firebreak is the separate multiplayer spin-off. This wiki covers the Dylan Faden sequel only.
Do I need to play Control (2019) first?
Remedy designed Resonant to stand on its own. Playing the original (and FBC: Firebreak, if you want Bureau flavour) adds context for Jesse and the Hiss, but the story trailer and Dylan pages summarise what newcomers need.
Ready for September 24?
Lock your edition, check the PC system requirements, then learn combat and Dylan Faden before warped Manhattan opens.
