Control: Resonant Creative Director Talks Sequel Shift to Action RPG

We got more insight into Control Resonant today at IGN Live, as Creative Director Mikael Kasurinen showed off some of the game while explaining the approach to the sequel to 2019's Control.

Control: Resonant is transitioning from a third-person shooter to an action role-playing game. The sequel features Dylan as the protagonist, with a focus on showcasing the unique personalities and playstyles of the siblings. Dylan's weapon, the Aberrant, adapts to various threats in the game, influenced by Control's powerful entities, The Board.

Players can expect fast-paced combat in Control: Resonant, with a storyline that delves into dense lore but provides support for newcomers to understand the narrative. The game will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on September 24, 2026.
