What's Happening?
Remedy Entertainment has provided new insights into their upcoming game, Control Resonant. The developers clarified that Jesse Faden, the protagonist of the original Control, will not be a playable character in the sequel. Instead, the game will focus
on her brother Dylan's story. Control Resonant is described as an action-RPG with a focus on melee combat and supernatural elements, rather than a soulslike game. The game will feature a new character, Zoe De Vera, and will be set in a divided Manhattan with unique zones and narrative-driven quests.
Why It's Important?
The clarification from Remedy addresses fan speculation and sets clear expectations for Control Resonant. By focusing on Dylan's story and introducing new gameplay mechanics, the developers aim to expand the Control universe while maintaining its core appeal. This approach could attract both returning fans and new players, potentially boosting the game's success. The decision to avoid a soulslike format and instead emphasize narrative and character development reflects a strategic choice to differentiate Control Resonant in a competitive gaming market.
