Remedy Expands Control Resonant to Bigger Urban Sandbox, Launches Sep 24

Remedy Entertainment’s sequel Control Resonant will launch on September 24, expanding the game’s world to a wider urban sandbox. The title uses Remedy’s own tech that gave the original Control its signature feel. Digital Foundry’s review notes the new freedom at every corner of the city. The New York Times highlights that the expanded sandbox lets players explore more mind‑bending areas. IGN says the game keeps Remedy’s sharp combat style, though the combat may feel a bit dull over time. A PlayStation blog post calls the sequel bigger and weirder, stressing its paranatural horror tone. GameInformer lists the review as “in progress,” indicating early impressions are still forming. All outlets agree the game builds on Remedy’s signature touch while pushing the setting into a larger, more detailed city. The September 24 release marks the first time Remedy’s engine is used for a city‑wide playground rather than the confined spaces of the first Control. Fans can expect more open‑world exploration, new supernatural abilities, and the same gritty story style. The combination of broader map design and familiar combat aims to attract both returning players and newcomers.
