One of the biggest reveals in the trailer is that Dylan Faden is the new protagonist for Control: Resonant. Jesse Faden is nowhere to be found, and it’s time for the other sibling to take center stage.

What is the Story in Control: Resonant

As a sequel, it is likely that Control: Resonant takes place after the events of the first game. In the reveal trailer, we know that the Hiss and everything contained in the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC) escaped into the real world. This does not bode well for everything else, as Altered Objects and Objects of Power are now in the wilds.

Control: Resonant Gameplay

For the first time in the series, Control: Resonant will feature melee-based gameplay. Unlike Jesse’s ranged capabilities with her ranged archetype Service Weapon, Dylan’s Service Weapon will be based on the melee archetype.

The game will also take on an open-world approach compared to the first game's linear levels.

The reveal trailer showed brief snippets of its third-person gameplay, including Dylan transforming his Service Weapon into a sword and a massive hammer. We also see Dylan use the same levitate ability that Jesse had in the first game.

Control: Resonant Available Platforms

Control: Resonant will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Mac, Steam, and Epic Games.
