In another victory for trademark paperwork diggers, weird fiction action-RPG sequel Control 2 is in fact Control Resonsant, as confirmed by an announcement and trailer at The Game Awards 2025. It’s out in 2026 and swaps Control’s telekinesis-aided shooting for melee thwacking. Said thwacking takes place across a Manhattan that’s suffering from more than a dash of catastrophic reality breakdown, as teased - this time intentionally by developers Remedy - in Alan Wake 2 DLC The Lake House.
