The release date for Control Resonant has finally been announced, along with a new trailer shown during the PlayStation State of Play. The game launches on September 24 this year, and the trailer offered another look at the story of this sequel to Remedy Entertainment's beloved 2019 action game. This time, players step into the shoes of Dylan Faden, the tormented brother of first game's protagonist Jesse Faden, to stop a catastrophic supernatural threat that has consumed Manhattan and could wipe out humanity as we know it.
Remedy is bucking the trend of higher AAA game prices, as the standard edition will cost just $59.99—$10 less than the current norm. However, if you want extra in-game goodies, you can opt for the digital deluxe edition at $69.99.
PlayStation players get a significant bonus: a special PlayStation digital deluxe edition that grants 48-hour early access. This is exclusive to PS5 owners, so Xbox and PC players will have to wait until September 24 to jump in.
"Control Resonant is Remedy Entertainment’s most expansive game ever, complete with incredible gameplay, narrative twists, and challenging creativity that will keep old fans and new engaged and entertained like nothing we have created before," said Johannes Paloheimo, Remedy’s Chief Commercial Officer and head of publishing. "As Remedy is self-publishing Control Resonant, our global marketing efforts will be just as ambitious in execution and style, evidenced by this inclusion in the State of Play and leading us into Summer Game Fest and beyond. We will have a number of events and opportunities for fans over the summer as we move towards the game’s release on September 24." Additionally, game director Mikael Kasurinen provided a deeper look at the story on the official PlayStation blog.
We had a hands-off preview of Control Resonant back in March, and executive previews editor Ryan McCaffrey came away impressed, concluding, "After seeing Control Resonant’s aggressive, fast-paced combat for myself, I’m even more fired up to get my hands on it."
Control Resonant may also continue events from Alan Wake 2, as the games share a universe, but it's unclear how important Alan Wake's previous story will be. Remedy is also developing remakes of the first two Max Payne games in partnership with Rockstar Games, with more details to come later.
The State of Play stream was packed with reveals, including God of War Laufey, for which we have an exclusive developer interview. For all other announcements, check out our roundup of everything from the June 2026 State of Play.
