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.

Equippable passive modifiers crafted in the Gap; three slots base, four in New Game Plus.

The Pattern is the Federal Bureau of Control's name for the cosmic force engulfing Manhattan in Control Resonant. It distorts gravity and natural law, cuts the borough off from the outside world, and sits above the Hiss and the Mold as the underlying threat the game's plot is built around.

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.

Dylan Faden is the playable protagonist of Control Resonant. Designated Prime Candidate 6 by the FBC, he is Jesse Faden's younger brother, a parautilitarian held inside the Oldest House since childhood, and is now deployed into Manhattan with the Aberrant as his primary weapon.

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.

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.

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.

Talents are one of the three buildcrafting pillars in Control Resonant. They are passive modifiers organized into a skill tree with exclusive branches that a single playthrough cannot fully unlock, which is the studio's core mechanic for forcing build commitment.
