A Closer Look at Control Resonant

At this point, many gamers likely have faith in Remedy’s upcoming project based on their impressive track record. Still, it’s exciting to get a glimpse of what the studio has planned for fans in the new title, Control Resonant. Here’s your first look at the gameplay experience awaiting you.

Previously, we only had hints about Control Resonant being an action thriller set in a haunted version of Manhattan. The city has fallen under the influence of supernatural cosmic beings, and it’s up to the main character, Dylan Faden, to find a way to banish them.

The short gameplay clip showcases Faden manipulating the environment to engage in combat on the sides of skyscrapers. While enemies can warp reality, Faden has the ability to control gravity. He wields a weapon known as the Aberrant, which adapts to the threats he faces. In the footage, we see the Aberrant seamlessly shift from a powerful hammer to a set of agile daggers.

Faden’s targets include the Hiss, a pervasive microorganism, and a paranatural entity called the Mold. While Faden may have the means to defeat these almost theoretical foes, the real challenge lies in maintaining his humanity. These entities can distort and shatter the environment in ways that defy the laws of nature. Remedy describes this phenomenon as a “geophysical nightmare” that “defiles” everything it encounters.
