CONTROL Resonant Launches Worldwide with Dylan Faden as Protagonist
CONTROL Resonant is now available worldwide on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with physical editions arriving October 15, 2026. The sequel casts players as Dylan Faden, who uses the shapeshifting Aberrant weapon in a paranatural crisis across a warped Manhattan. Apocalyptica contributed the opening track 'Upperhand,' and an iam8bit merchandise collection is available for pre-order.
Remedy Entertainment’s sequel shifts the playable role from Jesse to Dylan Faden, placing him in a transformed Manhattan. He gains paranormal powers and uses the Aberrant, a melee weapon that changes shape, against tougher foes and bosses. The title is out digitally on Steam, Epic Games Store, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with boxed console versions due October 15, 2026.
Apocalyptica, the Finnish cello-metal group, provided “Upperhand” for the opening credits; it is streaming on major services. A separate iam8bit line offers Corrupted Metro clothing, an Atlantis Café espresso cup set, Federal Bureau of Control posters, stickers, and magnets. Preorders close October 26, 2026, with delivery expected in early 2027.
The launch may draw existing Remedy fans and newcomers into a shared supernatural action experience, while Dylan’s starring role could spark discussions about franchise continuity and character perspective. Apocalyptica’s involvement may introduce the band to gaming audiences, and the iam8bit collection could appeal to collectors. Physical edition timing and merchandise preorders may shape retail and fan engagement through late 2026 and early 2027.
