A New Twist on Control: Dylan Faden’s Big Manhattan Adventure

Release & Platforms

Release Date: August 27
Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Windows PCs

New Trailer Highlights

A new trailer shows Dylan waking up inside a glass cell at the Federal Bureau of Control. The scene is tense and gives a hint of what’s to come.

Story Overview

Dylan Faden, after years of being held by the Bureau, is called back to fight a strange force threatening Manhattan.
The game promises a mix of supernatural powers and real‑world danger, with enemies that can twist reality itself.
Dylan must learn to use his abilities against these reality‑bending foes.

Voice Cast

Dylan Faden: Sean Durrie
Dylan searches for his sister, Jesse Faden, who leads the Bureau. Together they aim to stop a threat that has spilled beyond the Oldest House and is tearing apart the city.

Design Direction

Creative Director Mikael Kasurinen explained that Control Resonant will flip the original formula. Instead of a single, isolated building, players roam a distorted version of Manhattan. Enemies can change reality, but Dylan can manipulate gravity to gain an edge.

The game adopts a different style from its 2019 predecessor. While both titles keep a harsh, surreal look and bold lighting, Control Resonant leans into action‑RPG mechanics. Players can level up Dylan’s powers and customize his weapons, especially the shapeshifting “Aberrant” gun.

What to Expect

Fresh take on the series, blending mystery with fast‑paced combat.
Open world and new abilities promise a different experience for fans of the original.
