CONTROL Resonant, Sequel to Multi-Award-Winning CONTROL, Out Now Worldwide

Finnish Metal Icons Apocalyptica Contribute Opening Credits Track “Upperhand”

(Espoo, Finland – September 24, 2026) – Today, Remedy Entertainment announced that CONTROL Resonant, the highly anticipated sequel to the studio’s critically acclaimed, multi-award-winning CONTROL, is now available worldwide. Players take on the role of Dylan Faden as he battles a paranatural crisis engulfing a reality-warped Manhattan, unleashing his powers and mastering the different forms of his shapeshifting melee weapon, the Aberrant, to face dangerous enemies and monumental bosses. CONTROL Resonant is available now on Steam, the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with physical editions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S arriving October 15, 2026.

CONTROL Resonant is receiving strong reviews from critics, with praise for its distinctive world, action, and emotional storytelling.

• “A Mind-Bending Action Masterpiece” - VICE, 10 out of 10
• “Unforgettably unique” - GameSpot, 9 out of 10
• “This game is fucking incredible” - Kinda Funny, 9.5 out of 10
• “It’s one of the best, most emotionally arresting action games of 2026 and an easy game of the year contender.” - PC Mag, 5/5
• “Resonant’s world feels dreamlike and impossible as it wraps itself around you” - New York Times

CONTROL Resonant is developed and published by Remedy Entertainment. Annapurna Pictures co-financed and co-produced the game as part of a strategic partnership with Remedy Entertainment.

“CONTROL Resonant is the result of nearly seven years of true team effort and collaboration that pushes our paranatural action RPG series into an expansive, reality-warping playground of choice, power, and consequence," said Mikael Kasurinen, Creative Director of CONTROL Resonant. “For our new players, you don’t have to know the first game to jump into this sequel. We’ve made this easy to pick up and hard to put down. For our returning fans, we’ve pushed the scale beyond anything we’ve done before, elevating combat, exploration, and storytelling into a bigger, more memorable experience. It’s ambitious, a little wild, thought-provoking and was never easy to create, but easy was never the goal! Now that CONTROL Resonant is here, we can’t wait for our players, both old and new, to get lost in it.”

Finnish cello-metal band icons Apocalyptica have contributed a brand-new song, “Upperhand,” to CONTROL Resonant. The track accompanies the game’s opening credits and introduces players to Dylan Faden’s journey into the unknown. Upperhand is available today on Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming platforms.

"The first version of “Upperhand” was written as intro music for the game's opening sequence. It reflects the uneasy emotions of the main character in transition to the unknown. I wanted to expand it into a full song with lyrics, and we were so lucky to get Katrine from Kalandra with her unique voice to carry this where it was supposed to go,” said Eicca Toppinen, the founder of Apocalyptica. “This song combines multiple special qualities of Apocalyptica, and getting those qualities to serve the world of CONTROL Resonant was a challenging but exciting and rewarding journey. I truly hope Remedy and Apocalyptica fans will find this as special as we do.”

iam8bit is once again teaming up with Remedy to celebrate the launch of CONTROL Resonant with a new merchandise collection. Inspired by the game, the collection includes Corrupted Metro apparel, a Billboard Bumper Stickers Pack, an Atlantis Café Espresso Cup Set, three Federal Bureau of Control propaganda posters, and an FBC Magnet Set. The posters are 1:1 recreations of their in-game counterparts, printed on 16.5" x 23.3" poster stock.

The full iam8bit x CONTROL Resonant collection is available for pre-order now through October 26, 2026, with shipping expected in Q1 2027. Visit iam8bit.com to explore the collection.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Remedy Entertainment, Fried Music and Nordic Music Partners Unveil Zoe’s Mixtape for CONTROL Resonant

Six Exclusive Music Tracks Now Available Including Previously Released ‘Manalan Mailla’ from Vilma Jää

(Espoo, Finland – September 22, 2026) – Remedy Entertainment, Fried Music and Nordic Music Partners have joined creative forces to produce Zoe’s Mixtape, a compilation of six unique songs specially crafted for CONTROL Resonant. The highly anticipated sequel to Remedy’s critically acclaimed, multi-award-winning CONTROL puts players in the role of Dylan Faden as he unleashes the full force of the paranatural, tearing through surreal, reality-bending encounters and mastering different forms of the Aberrant to overcome overwhelming enemies and monumental bosses.

Zoe’s Mixtape continues the one-of-a-kind, artistic collaboration between Remedy Entertainment’s creative team, Fried Music and Nordic Music Partners. Throughout the game, Dylan develops a friendship with his Federal Bureau of Control handler Zoe, an avid music lover who shares some of her favourite tracks with him during key moments of the story. This selection of tracks is Zoe’s Mixtape, a collection of six original songs that have been created from the ground up by a group of songwriters, producers, and artists.

All tracks from Zoe’s Mixtape are available now on Spotify, Apple Music, and other select streaming platforms.

Every track was written specifically for CONTROL Resonant and is tied to a particular moment in Dylan and Zoe's journey, helping shape the atmosphere and emotional tone of the game. All the tracks were created in close collaboration with the Remedy team and Creative Director Mikael Kasurinen.

The first single from Zoe's Mixtape was "Manalan Mailla" featuring Vilma Jää, which debuted alongside the Paranatural Manhattan trailer during Summer Game Fest and went on to attract millions of streams across music platforms.

“It was a fantastic and unique experience to create music for CONTROL Resonant with such a unique team,” said Teemu Brunila, Songwriter. “Remedy once again impressed with their artistic boldness, and it was truly great to have so much creative freedom to create such diverse tracks. The game looks incredible, and it’s an honor to be involved with it!”

“It has been artistically very rewarding to continue and deepen my collaboration with Remedy Entertainment,” said Jurek, Producer/Songwriter. “The original CONTROL is one of my most memorable gaming experiences, so the world and lore were already quite familiar to me. Working alongside Teemu Brunila, Vilma Jää, and Lucas Kihlman was also incredibly inspiring, and I can’t wait to hear the music we created inside the game.”

“It was amazing to get to work with Remedy again on another game," said Fried Music's Creative Director Antti "RZY" Riihimäki. "Their projects always feed my own creativity and bring new ideas to the work. CONTROL Resonant was an extremely inspiring project, and it was a pleasure and an honor to be involved. I’m really looking forward to playing the game and hearing how the music comes to life as part of the game’s world."

20th September 2026 MrRoflWaffles Reveals RECALL: CHAPTER ONE Video in Collaboration with Remedy Entertainment

For CONTROL Resonant, Remedy set up a new ARG with a puzzle centred around the mysterious "Chester Bless". The journey would take players across various social media channels and in-person locations, culminating in a password-protected site. For the project, the studio worked with YouTuber, MrRoflWaffles (aka Milo), who provided some of these clues on his social media channels. But the collaboration didn't end there!

Today, Milo posted a mysterious new video called "RECALL: CHAPTER ONE"

If you previously watched the Bright Falls mini-series, you may recognise a certain vibe within the video. RECALL: CHAPTER ONE centres around a day in the life of a fictionalised version of Milo, as he interacts with his friends and family. The issue is that he's being haunted and perhaps even hunted. A casual trip to an antiques store ends up having lasting and mysterious repercussions...

It's a really fascinating premise and a great tie-in to the Control series. We're definitely eager to learn where this leads.

Interested? You can check out the first part of his story below or on his YouTube channel, HERE!
