31st August 2026 Details of a Poetential CONTROL Resonant ARG Emerges

Is there a CONTROL Resonant ARG? Well, the UKRC seems to think so! 

In December 2018, Remedy kicked off their ARG (alternate reality game) as they paved the way to Control's launch. The four-month campaign was hosted on the official Control Discord server and was centred around three hexagonal symbols. These symbols revealed a secret code, with the mystery culminating in exclusive access to a restricted section of the game's website. The prize for breaking through was an in-game video of Casper Darling and bragging credits (Data Breach) within the world of Control.

Well, those crazy kids might be at it again! 

In a mighty thirty-nine-page (at present time!) document, Zdots and UKRC members have scoured the Control Discord, and found a mysterious poster by the name of Chess Trebles

Their document introduction reads, "On August 27th, A user named @ChessTrebles Joined the Official Remedy Entertainment Discord. They immediately posted a very off introduction & First message within the #Control-Resonant Channel, raising suspicion. Their accounts have all been made at a similar time and similar hour, and all of their social media handles, aside from Discord, feature a keyword within them."

Each social media features a keyword and a mysterious selection of images, kindling speculation. We highly recommend you check out the document and join the UKRC channel to participate in the discussions. The UKRC are masters of nerdiness, and they are being beautifully on brand.

29th August 2026 Photographs from the Gamescom Show Floor & Community Meet-Up

Held at the Level Infinite sector, CONTROL Resonant's Gamescom display was definitely a sight to behold. In addition to a section dedicated to its first publicly playable demo, there was a photo area featuring actors and a life-sized Aberrant. But that's not all! Visitors were greeted by a scene straight out of the game with a New York taxi partially engulfed in mold, and an electric traffic sign warning event goers not to eat it, no matter how tempting and fuzzy it looks.

The reception to the game has been incredibly positive, with Level Infinite showcasing the long queues of eager players. Visitors reported lines of up to six hours for the game.

Plus, there was another event. For lucky fans who were quick to book their tickets, there was also a community meetup at Die Kunstbar on Friday.

For those who were able to attend, we hope you had a fabulous time (and hope you brought a book for the queue). For the rest of us, we were living vicariously through the posts on social media...

This @gamescom, we're offering a hands-on demo of CONTROL Resonant to everyone on the PUBLIC show floor! You'll find us in Hall 6, at the @LevelInfinite booth.

We've already had huge queues today - thank you to everyone! We can't wait to meet more of you as Gamescom continues 🫶… pic.twitter.com/Iv2EXqYjsa

Mark your calendars! Remedy will be heading to Tokyo Game Show next month. The team will be bringing with them a playable demo of CONTROL Resonant, available to check out at the SEGA booth.

While the game will be launching a week later, the teaser provides gamers with an early hands-on glimpse of the adventure, before the rest of the world.

26th August 2026 CONTROL Resonant's Altered State Trailer Debuts at Gamescom Opening Night Live

Last night, Gamescom Opening Night Live kicked off a week of festivities in Cologne, with 5000 in attendance at Koelnmesse, and millions tuning in online to watch a spotlight being put on some of the most highly anticipated adventures. Heading into the event, Remedy teased on social media that they would be back with a brand new trailer for CONTROL Resonant, and they did not disappoint! 

Accompanied by The Prodigy's Omen, the trailer showcases the fast-paced action of the sequel, alongside some familiar faces, both in-game and in live action. Whereas Control's trailers were focused on the haunting beauty of the twisted world, Resonant's melee combat takes centre stage; the style forces you to brave the adrenaline and rush in. That theme has taken over marketing's tone lately, including the wave of new trailers showcased during Summer Games Fest week. 

Writing on Twitter about the trailer's creation, Thomas Puha (Communications Director at Remedy) posted, "So glad we got one of my favorite band The Prodigy’s track for our new CONTROL Resonant trailer. The arguments about what track to license… man 😂😂😂 (Go listen to The Jilted Generation while you are at it…)."
