Remedy is breaking away from its gun-focused roots with Control: Resonant, introducing a new melee-centric combat system powered by a weapon called The Aberrant. Trading traditional firearms for dual blades and hammers, the game emphasizes aggressive, fast-paced movement and visceral encounters rather than standard cover-based shooting.
The developers are leaning into RPG-lite progression, allowing players to customize combat styles and abilities without sacrificing the series’ signature, intuitive controls. Control: Resonant is set to launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on September 22, 2026.
