Remedy's Control Resonant Faces Tough September Release Window

September is one of the most packed months for video game releases in recent memory — and everyone knows why.

Control Resonant, the sequel to 2019's Control, is set to launch on September 24 amidst a crowded field of big game releases including Marvel’s Wolverine, The Blood of Dawnwalker, and more. Despite the competition, Remedy is sticking to their release date, emphasizing the importance of delivering a polished game over rushing an unfinished product. The company is backing Control Resonant with its largest marketing campaign ever and pricing it below the typical AAA price point to attract buyers.

Remedy's CEO acknowledges the need for their games to reach their full potential, especially after previous titles like FBC: Firebreak fell short. The studio's partnership with Annapurna Pictures hints at potential TV shows and movies based on Control and Alan Wake, adding an extra layer of anticipation for Control Resonant's release.
