Control Resonant Plays Like One Part Control, One Part Devil May Cry, and One Part Doom
Dylan takes the lead with faster melee combat, a shapeshifting weapon and flexible builds as the Hiss spill into New York City.
- In a two-plus-hour preview earlier this week, Remedy Entertainment showcased Control Resonant, a melee-focused sequel to the 2019 original starring Dylan Faden, brother of Control director Jesse Faden.
- Creative Director Mikael Kasurinen explained the studio always planned a game starring Dylan, viewing him and Jesse as 'two sides of the same coin' to emphasize melee combat.

- Control Resonant launches September 24 for PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC; Kasurinen confirmed players can enjoy the games in any order, focusing on the world's deep mystery.
