Remedy Entertainment announced Control Resonant will release September 24, 2026. The sequel shifts focus to Dylan Faden as the sole playable character, while his sister Jesse influences the story.

Control Resonant debuted during Tuesday's PlayStation State of Play presentation, offering the first look at gameplay and narrative direction for the highly anticipated sequel. Dylan Faden, who spent much of the original Control imprisoned, takes center stage as the game's protagonist. His sister Jesse, who led the first game, remains integral to the story and will "shape the path" players take throughout their journey. Remedy Entertainment's Mikael Kasurinen confirmed Dylan's role as the sole playable character in a blog post accompanying the announcement. The trailer previewed the game's reality-bending mechanics and supernatural setting that defined the original title. Pre-orders are now available across platforms. Control Resonant represents Remedy's next major release following the studio's work on Alan Wake 2 and Quantum Break.
