It wasn’t enough to showcase Dylan’s mental state and memories when accepting the mission to combat whatever has taken control of Manhattan. The latest trailer for Control Resonant offers a wider look at the city itself, in all its paranatural glory, while teasing a new hostile resonance.
If nothing else, treat this as a showcase of Remedy Entertainment’s incredible environmental design. The brutalist corridors of the Oldest House give way to impossible architectural sights in the city. You’ll see plenty of bodies floating about, most likely due to The Hiss, and new enemies who aren’t afraid to attack Dylan at first sight.
It’s a lot to take in, much less get your footing in, but Control Resonant is easily shaping up to be one of the most impressive games this year. Leaning further into an action RPG gameplay loop, Dylan can leverage different abilities and Aberrant forms to craft unique playstyles. He’ll need it to survive against the Resonants – powerful paranatural entities with mysterious purposes.
Control Resonant launches on September 24th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Unfortunately, the Deluxe Edition, which retails for $70, only offers 48 hours of advanced access for PlayStation players. At least the base game only costs $60.
