The original Control, released in 2019, established Remedy\u2019s modern direction with its blend of third-person action and surreal storytelling centered around the Federal Bureau of Control and the shifting Oldest House.<\/p>\n<p>The developer diary shown at the event focuses on how the team approached building this new setting, highlighting the transition from the brutalist interiors of the Oldest House to a wider, outdoor space that still retains the series\u2019 surreal tone. Art direction emphasizes a city that feels familiar at first glance but is constantly shifting and breaking its own rules.<\/p>\n<p>During the presentation, Creative Director Mikael Kasurinen and the team outlined how Control Resonant expands beyond the Oldest House into a reimagined version of Manhattan. The new setting is described as a distorted city shaped by paranatural forces, where reality itself bends under the influence of a cosmic threat. According to the developers, this shift allows for larger, more open environments compared to the confined spaces of the original game.<\/p>\n<p>Players take on the role of Dylan Faden, exploring multiple areas of Manhattan as the environment is reshaped by unnatural forces that alter gravity and physical laws. The game introduces a progression system tied to abilities that evolve based on player choices. Combat once again leans heavily on environmental interaction, alongside elemental powers and a transforming melee weapon known as the Aberrant.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think about Control \u00a0Resonant moving beyond the Oldest House into a full city setting?
