Poets of the Fall Works With Remedy On Control
Today Poets of the Fall and Remedy announced a continuation of their partnership, as the band and studio collaborated once again for the upcoming title, Control.
The reveal, scheduled during Gamescom, came in the form of a video, with Sam Lake (Creative Director at Remedy) and Marko Saaresto (vocalist and co-founder of Poets of the Fall) talking to fans about their latest collaboration. In the reveal, the duo announced that the song, The Dark Disquiet (from the band's latest album, Ultraviolet), will also make an appearance in the game, along with a special surprise for players.
Why Control is 2019’s strangest – and smartest – single-player shooter
PlayStation
Prefer your sci-fi unsettling, avant garde and to pose as many questions as it answers? Control, the new adventure from acclaimed developer Remedy Entertainment, might just be in your wheel house. You play as Jesse Faden, a young woman who finds herself drawn to an anonymous office block hiding in plain sight in downtown New York, home to a mysterious government agency called the Federal Bureau of Control. Once inside, not only does she discover that it has been taken over by a supernatural threat, but she also learns that she has been designated the agency’s new director – whether she likes it or not. It’s up to you to tame a set of new-found supernatural powers, figure out what the heck is going on, take the building back, and unravel Jesse’s mysterious past.Read the Full Article, HERE!
