Such is the case with Control Resonant, and given how it’s expanding on everything from the original – enemy variety, combat, environment size, bosses and more – it’s not an unreasonable expectation. Speaking to TechRadar, he revealed that the “core experience” should take around 30 hours to complete. “I don’t think you have to play the first Control game to play Resonant, but if you do, it will enrich your experience, especially narratively. We put in a Control recap, right at the top of the main menu, though, so you don’t need to,” says Mohov. Control Resonant launches on September 24th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
