Control Resonant Revealed: Remedy Expands the Control Universe With Open-Ended Action RPG

 

Remedy Entertainment has officially revealed Control Resonant, a new open-ended action RPG set within the acclaimed Control universe. Described by the studio as its “boldest step yet,” the project represents a major evolution for the franchise, expanding beyond its original action-adventure roots into deeper role-playing territory.

A New Direction for the Control Universe

Since the launch of Control in 2019, Remedy has steadily built a connected universe defined by supernatural threats, shifting realities, and narrative-driven gameplay. With Control Resonant, the studio is taking a significant leap forward by introducing open-ended RPG systems designed to give players greater freedom in how they explore and interact with this mysterious world.

According to Remedy, the goal is to maintain the series’ signature atmosphere while allowing players to shape their own experience through progression choices, combat styles, and narrative paths.

Open-Ended Action RPG Gameplay

Control Resonant is being developed as an open-ended action RPG, blending fast-paced combat with deeper customization and player agency. While specific mechanics have yet to be detailed, Remedy has confirmed that players can expect more flexible builds, expanded abilities, and a stronger emphasis on choice-driven gameplay than in previous Control titles.

The studio believes this approach will allow the world of the Federal Bureau of Control to feel more alive, reactive, and personal than ever before.

Expanding the Lore

Beyond gameplay changes, Control Resonant is also positioned as a major lore expansion. Remedy has hinted that the game will explore new corners of the Control universe, introducing fresh characters, locations, and anomalies while still connecting to the events and themes established in the original game.

This broader scope aligns with Remedy’s long-term vision of a shared universe, where stories and ideas can evolve across multiple projects.

Remedy’s Most Ambitious Control Project

Calling Control Resonant its “boldest step yet,” Remedy is signaling a clear commitment to pushing the franchise forward rather than repeating past formulas. By embracing RPG elements and a more open-ended structure, the studio aims to attract both longtime fans and newcomers looking for a deeper, more customizable experience.

What Comes Next

Remedy has not yet announced a release window or platforms for Control Resonant, but more details are expected as development progresses. As anticipation grows, Control Resonant is already shaping up to be one of the most ambitious entries in Remedy’s expanding universe.
