- ★New action-RPG from Alan Wake developer
- ★Dynamic melee combat in devastated Manhattan
- ★Expands Control series with innovative gameplay
According to the source material, remedy Entertainment, the Finnish studio behind the psychologically charged Alan Wake and the bureaucratic-supernatural thriller Control, is venturing into new territory. Their latest project, Control Resonant, is an action-RPG that thrusts players into a ruined Manhattan. According to the preview from GamesRadar, the game emphasizes dynamic melee combat, a notable departure from the cover-based gunplay of its predecessor.
The decision to craft an action-RPG suggests Remedy is responding to player desire for more visceral, close-quarters engagement within the expansive, lore-rich world they've built. The "Resonant" title likely ties into the series' themes of psychic phenomena and the mysterious Federal Bureau of Control. Early signals from the preview video indicate a dark, atmospheric setting true to the franchise's style.

The source material also shows that for players, this shift promises a fundamentally different experience. Mastering melee attacks and RPG progression systems will be key, moving away from purely reflex-based shooting. The community is already buzzing, with hashtags like #controlresonant gaining traction. However, the real test will be how well these new mechanics integrate with the deep narrative and supernatural powers that define the Control series.
Remedy has a strong track record of evolving gameplay, from the survival horror elements in Max Payne 3 to the open-world experimentation in Quantum Break. If they can seamlessly blend RPG progression with their signature storytelling and eerie atmosphere, Control Resonant could redefine the franchise. The approved preview video offers a tantalizing glimpse of what's to come.
