The Aberrant is Dylan Faden's signature weapon in Control Resonant. It is a shapeshifting close-quarters melee weapon with multiple confirmed forms, a three-slot loadout, and a progression system tied to defeating major bosses.

The Federal Bureau of Control (FBC) is the secret U.S. government agency tasked with investigating and containing Altered World Events, Objects of Power, and Altered Items. Originally headquartered in the Oldest House in NYC, the agency now contends with a Manhattan-wide paranatural crisis seven years after Control, with Director Jesse Faden missing and Dylan Faden deployed as an active operative.

Manhattan is the primary playable space of Control Resonant, set seven years after the original game. The borough is sealed by an otherworldly barrier after the Oldest House lockdown fails, structured as open-ended discrete zones rather than a seamless open-world, warped by Gravity Anomalies, and overrun by the Hiss and the Mold.

Control Resonant's combat is built around melee rather than firearms, with a three-slot loadout (primary, secondary, combo ender), a combo economy that fuels special abilities and execution buffs, and parautilitarian powers layered into every fight. It is Remedy's first melee-focused action game.

The Oldest House is the FBC's headquarters in lower Manhattan: a featureless Brutalist tower that resists outside notice, is larger inside than outside, connects to the Astral Plane, historically housed all major Objects of Power, and held Dylan Faden as Prime Candidate 6. Its lockdown has failed seven years before Control Resonant.

Pre-release primer for Control Resonant: how to follow the game before launch, what your first run looks like, the three decision layers behind progression, the seven-years-after setting, current development status, and what has not yet been disclosed.

Remedy Entertainment is the Finnish studio behind Control Resonant. Founded in 1995 in Espoo by ex-Future Crew demoscene members, public on Nasdaq Helsinki since 2017, with a Stockholm second studio opened in 2022. The studio self-publishes Resonant after buying the Control IP from 505 Games in 2024 and partnering with Annapurna Pictures.
