Why CONTROL Resonant PS5 Takes the Series Further

  • Reality Becomes an Obstacle Navigate impossible architecture and gravity anomalies that change your sense of direction. These environmental distortions influence exploration, puzzles and the way you approach danger.
  • The FBC's Crisis Continues Discover what happens when the Federal Bureau of Control can no longer contain the threats spreading outside its headquarters. The Hiss, the Mold and an unfamiliar cosmic force make the situation increasingly dangerous.
  • A Personal Story Beneath the Chaos Dylan's journey is also about his past, his humanity and his relationship with Jesse Faden. The mystery gives the supernatural spectacle an emotional purpose.

Combat That Rewards Momentum

How the Combat Loop Works

  2. Create an Opening Use supernatural abilities to stun enemies and interrupt their pressure, creating opportunities to perform powerful executions.
  3. Keep the Pressure On Executions temporarily increase melee damage. Maintaining an aggressive rhythm helps you move between weapon attacks and supernatural abilities.

A Weapon and Progression System That Adapt to You

Every close-range encounter is an opportunity to turn aggressive combat into supernatural power.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to play the first CONTROL before CONTROL Resonant?

No. Remedy Entertainment states that the sequel was designed to welcome new players. Playing the original can provide additional background, but it is not a prerequisite for understanding the new adventure.

Can I unlock every ability during one playthrough?

Not necessarily. Remedy explains that the progression system includes meaningful specialization and that not everything can be unlocked in a single playthrough.

Does using Assist Mode affect trophies?

Remedy confirms that trophies and achievements are not locked behind Assist Mode settings. You can adjust the challenge without being required to avoid the accessibility options.

Can I upgrade the physical CONTROL Resonant edition to Digital Deluxe?

Remedy's official support guide states that the separately sold Digital Deluxe Upgrade is intended for eligible digital Standard Edition owners. It is not currently a supported upgrade path for the Physical or SteelBook Editions.

Is the game structured like a traditional open-world checklist?

Remedy describes the city as a collection of carefully designed zones rather than an open world built around clearing every map marker. The emphasis is on exploring distinctive locations and discovering activities naturally.
