Control Resonant Gameplay Designer Sergey Mohov has revealed during an interview with TechRadar that the “core experience” for the upcoming sequel should last around 30 hours. Furthermore, Mohov noted that you don’t necessarily have to experience the original Control before jumping into the sequel — but doing so will “enrich your experience.” “I don’t think you have to play the first Control game to play Resonant,” he said, “but if you do, it will enrich your experience, especially narratively. Control Resonant takes places in Manhattan, where the Federal Bureau of Control is running out of options as it faces an unprecedented paranatural crisis. Remedy will launch Control Resonant on September 24, 2026 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
