A distorted Manhattan and an escalating supernatural crisis

After years of being held by the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), Dylan Faden emerges into a completely transformed Manhattan just as the supernatural crisis reaches its peak. FBC Director Jesse Faden can no longer contain the threats within, allowing the disaster to spill into the streets as the Bureau's control begins to collapse.

In this follow-up to the award-winning game Control, players will join Dylan as he confronts a mysterious cosmic entity that is altering the laws of reality. New York City has been devastated by the corruption caused by the chaotic Hiss, the spread of the Mold, and countless other anomalous supernatural threats.

To prevent annihilation, Dylan must learn to control and develop new supernatural abilities. The in-depth character progression system allows players to customize how Dylan's powers function, helping him adapt to threats that continue to evolve.

Combat in Control Resonant constantly shifts, requiring players to make flexible use of the environment, deploy elemental abilities, and harness the power of the Aberrant, a close-range weapon capable of rapidly transforming between different forms.

The Aberrant can seamlessly switch between multiple combat forms. Players can unleash powerful strikes with a two-handed hammer before instantly shifting to the speed and precision of a pair of dual blades. The weapon's instantaneous transformations allow players to respond effectively to different types of enemies on the battlefield.
