Manhattan becomes the new field of investigation for the Federal Bureau of Control... Control Resonant, video game developed and published by Remedy Entertainment, was unveiled in a new trailer titled Paranatural Manhattan at the Summer Game Fest 2026, ahead of its launch on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series on September 24, 2026 in digital form (October 15 for the physical version). Direct sequel to Control, the game will star Dylan Faden, Jesse Faden’s brother, in a new case tied to the Federal Bureau of Control, the Oldest House, and a New York upended by paranatural phenomena.
An opus officially revealed in November 2022, Remedy having announced at the time that it was working on a sequel to Control. For context, that first game arrived out of nowhere in 2019, inviting players to step into the shoes of Jesse Faden, a young woman on the hunt for her brother, taken by the Federal Bureau of Control, a government agency investigating a range of paranatural phenomena. The journey would see her become the agency’s director and eradicate the Hiss, a kind of paranatural disease, thanks to a set of powers she acquires along the way, telekinesis leading the pack.
A new installment is now being developed and published by Remedy Entertainment, with Annapurna Pictures on board for co-production and funding. In a previous briefing about the Control sequel, Mikael Kasurinen, the franchise’s Game Director, explained: "With Control 2, we’re taking a bold new step into the unknown. It will be an unexpected journey." He continued: "It will take some time, but to say the least, it’s the most exciting project I’ve ever worked on. It’s still early, but it will be worth the wait."
What should we expect from the story in this game? The Paranatural Manhattan trailer leans further into this warped version of New York, showcasing several visually distinct zones, enemy factions unique to each area, main missions, side quests, boss battles, and puzzles. Emily Pope, returning from the first game as interim director of the Federal Bureau of Control, provides the narration for this trailer and works alongside Dylan Faden. Players will also encounter several previously unseen sections of the Oldest House, the central hub of the original Control.
Ahead of its release on September 24, 2026, pre-orders for Control Resonant are now open in physical and digital editions for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series. A Mac version is also planned for later in 2026 via Steam and the App Store, while the game will also be available on GeForce NOW. All this should tide fans over as they wait to gauge Dylan Faden’s role in this new paranatural case.
