22nd July 2026 Rewatch Frankie Kevich's First Control Livestream

Every Tuesday leading up to CONTROL Resonant's launch on September 24th, actor Frankie Kevich will go live on Twitch for the first adventure. If you missed the start of her livestream, the full video is now available on her channel.

Frankie plays FBC Agent Zoe de Vera in the upcoming adventure, and while her lips are sealed when it comes to Resonant news (at least until the SDCC panel), it's been a thrill to watch her retread the familiar corridors of The Oldest House.

Following the livestreams, she's been uploading the full recording on Twitch with edited breaks. Each broadcast is estimated to be around about four hours, kicking off at 10pm BST each Tuesday.

In her first livestream, she got jumpscared by a sudden RemedyGames appearance in the chat, got through the Tomassi debuckle on the first try, and made Ahti's job much harder by destroying everyone's office. She also kicked off the festivities with some pretty epic de Vera cosplay. So you know it's a good time!

Check out the first broadcast below or on her Twitch channel, HERE!

17th July 2026 Twitch Hotline Chat Badge Campaign Extended [Ends July 20th]

If you haven't collected your Twitch Hotline badge yet, the deadline has now been extended!

Remedy is taking part in this year's Twitch Summer Drop Fest, in celebration of the new reprint run of Control Ultimate Edition on PS5. Viewers can collect a Hotline badge (visible next to their name on chat) by purchasing a recurring or new subscription to any eligible channel streaming Control Ultimate Edition.  

While the campaign officially kicked off on July 10th, viewers encountered some issues when trying to redeem the icon. With a fix rolling out, Twitch is now working to get the reward unlocked retroactively. 

The news was posted on the Control social media channels, and by Julius Fondem (Community Manager) on the official Discord server. "The issue with The Hotline Twitch badge has now been fixed! You can now earn the badge by purchasing one new or recurring sub to any eligible channel streaming CONTROL Ultimate Edition. We're also working with Twitch to ensure that anyone who was eligible to earn the badge while the issue was present gets it retroactively. Lastly, we've increased the duration of the campaign until the end of July 20th. Thank you for your patience!"

14th July 2026 Catch the CONTROL Resonant Panel at SDCC 2026 [ft. Sean Durrie, Matthew Porretta, Frankie Kevich, and Courtney Hope]

If you're heading to SDCC later this month, make sure to block some time out for one more stop. Remedy has officially announced that they will be in attendance at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, bringing some familiar names and voices for a special CONTROL Resonant panel.

On July 25th, Sean Durrie (Dylan Faden), Matthew Porretta (Dr Casper Darling), Frankie Kevich (Zoe De Vera), and Courtney Hope (Jesse Faden) will be taking to the stage for "CONTROL Resonant: Exclusive Updates with Cast Members". Join the cast of CONTROL Resonant as they discuss their characters and work on the game. You can find them in Room 6BCF of the San Diego Convention Centre, with the panel kicking off from 6:30pm to 7:30pm.

At present, we don't know if the panel will be livestreamed or filmed. If those details are revealed later, we'll let you know! When Remedy held a similar panel for Control back in October 2018, they did publish the full panel and community Q&A on their channel afterwards, so fingers crossed! If you haven't seen that one yet, we highly recommend you do. It features Sam Lake, James McCaffrey, Matthew Porretta, and Courtney Hope, and is a fantastic watch.

11th July 2026 Control Hotline Chat Badge Available to Unlock During Twitch Summer Drop Fest [July 10th - 17th]

Control is participating in this year's Twitch Summer Drop Fest, with a Hotline chat badge awarded to viewers who purchase a subscription to any eligible channels streaming the game.

The collaboration with Twitch is, in part, a celebration of the anticipated reprint of Control Ultimate Edition on PlayStation 5. With CONTROL Resonant due to be released this September 24th, there's been a bigger push to make the original adventure more accessible. The news will be particularly welcome to PlayStation owners concerned about Sony's recent announcement that its consoles will become digital-only in the coming years. 

The Hotline badge Twitch drop will be available to collect between July 10th and July 17th. (Pssst, if you're looking for a place to subscribe to, Frankie Kevich, who plays CONTROL Resonant's Zoe de Vera, will be jumping into Jesse's adventure on July 14th!)

Update 11/07/2026 : Following the news, it's been noticed that there is a slight discrepancy between Remedy's social media posts and Twitch's Summer Drop Fest wrap-up. The developer states that two new subscriptions are required to unlock the badge, whereas Twitch says only one is needed. We'll let you know if there's any clarification after the weekend.

Update 15/07/2026: A lot of updates for you Wednesday morning! Lately, there have been reports about the drops not working correctly, and we do have some answers regarding that!

First, the channel you're watching needs to have drops enabled in its settings. Secondly, they need to be listed as playing "CONTROL Resonant". If you're marked down as Control, it doesn't work correctly. (Twitch lists the category incorrectly, so if you have purchased a subscription with the campaign in mind, you may want to reach out to Twitch support and explain. Hopefully, they'll be able to step in and help. You may also want to cite THIS page. It sounds like there were some accidental crossed wires.)

Also, we have specific timings! The Hotline badge drop is between Tue 14 Jul, 08:00 - Sat 18 Jul, 07:59 BST. We'll post out a reminder for you for the final 24 hours. 

And finally, if you are an Amazon Prime subscriber, you do have a monthly channel subscription option, but unfortunately, it doesn't count towards this drop. The subscription must be individually purchased to count. But it's nice to show some support regardless, we used our one to sub to Frankie's channel.
