CONTROL Resonant Trailers
Announcement to Altered State — every major official film in order.
This page indexes official CONTROL Resonant trailers and diaries so you can catch up without opening twelve random tabs. Remedy Entertainment’s single-player sequel is still upcoming — digital launch 24 September 2026 — and these films are marketing and development windows, not the finished campaign. One embedded video sits mid-article via the page youtubeId (Stepping into a New World diary). Other trailers are named and dated in text only so we never invent extra embeds or fake IDs.
Pair this index with the release date timeline and the Updates hub. Systems viewers should jump to combat after watching gameplay films; story-sensitive players may prefer diaries over the Story trailer until launch.
Announcement Trailer — The Game Awards 2025 (11 December 2025)
The reveal film introduced CONTROL Resonant as the next Control chapter, confirmed Dylan Faden as the new lead, and showed a paranaturally ravaged Manhattan under a protective crisis framing. Platform callouts covered PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Mac for a 2026 window. Tone: mystery first, systems second. Watch this if you need the sibling-swap thesis in thirty cinematic seconds.
State of Play Gameplay — February 2026 (12 February 2026)
Sony’s State of Play slot shifted from teaser to footing. Public footage emphasised the Aberrant’s shapeshifting melee, traversal across warped architecture, and Zoe de Vera as the radio handler speaking to Dylan. Open-ended zone language replaced “is it just the Oldest House again?” anxiety. Watch this before you read traversal so the Gravity Anomaly shots make sense.
Story Trailer — State of Play June 2026 (2 June 2026 cycle)
The Story trailer locked emotional stakes: Dylan deployed by the Bureau into a Manhattan crisis shaped by a new resonance alongside Hiss and Mold threats, with saving his sister and reclaiming humanity on the card. It also carried the 24 September 2026 dating energy in the wider announce package. Sean Durrie’s Dylan and returning allies such as Emily Pope and Simon Arish feature in the broader story messaging around this film. Spoilers live here — skip if you want cold entry.
Paranatural Manhattan — Summer Game Fest 2026
Hot on the Story trailer’s heels, Paranatural Manhattan leaned into zone fantasy and stranger architecture, including memorable large-scale threats and Emily Pope’s narrated framing as acting co-director pressure mounts in Jesse Faden’s absence. Watch this for world appetite more than combo tutorials. It pairs well with the Characters hub afterward.
Take CONTROL Trailer
The Take CONTROL film functions as a hype cut of agency and combat swagger — Dylan reclaiming momentum in the city rather than remaining the Bureau’s caged Prime Candidate. Use it as a short motivation hit between longer diaries. Exact beat sheets vary by upload partner, but Remedy’s own channel remains the canonical source when multiple rips exist.
Altered State — gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 (25 August 2026)
Debuting at gamescom ONL with a Prodigy needle drop in coverage, Altered State is the late-cycle gameplay trailer: Metro Fault energy, ethereal side realms, Hiss and Mold reminders, and Aberrant swaps from fast blades to heavy stagger tools. It arrived after the 18 August 2026 gone-gold note, so expect near-final visual targets. Watch this if you only have time for one combat-forward film before pre-loading.
Development diaries worth queueing
Remedy’s diary series fills gaps trailers skip:
- Beyond the Oldest House — why the sequel leaves the House for Manhattan (embedded on the Updates hub).
- Stepping into a New World — embedded on this page; zone philosophy and paranatural city craft.
- Additional combat or story diaries may appear before 24 September; this index will add names and dates when Remedy publishes them. We will not invent titles.
How to watch without spoiling yourself
- Announcement only — if you want zero systems.
- February State of Play + Altered State — if you care about melee feel.
- Add Story trailer — if sibling drama is why you bought Control.
- Diaries — if you want developer intent without cinematic cold opens.
After watching, translate hype into a plan: Aberrant forms, builds, pre-order, platforms.
What this page refuses to do
No fan reuploads listed as official. No fabricated YouTube IDs. No second <YouTubeEmbed /> pasted into the body. No claim that trailers equal patch notes. No multiplayer montage confusion with FBC: Firebreak — different product, different multiplayer pitch.
Runtime expectations for the game itself remain Remedy’s estimates (~30 hours story-focused, ~50 with side content), which trailers cannot prove. Treat every cinematic enemy as a possibility, not a checklist.

Watch deliberately, then close the tab. CONTROL Resonant is still unreleased until 24 September 2026 — trailers are appetite, not the meal.

Why is there only one video embed on this page?
