Control Resonant had a second trailer that aired during Summer Game Fest. The first one obviously dropping during the PlayStation State of Play earlier last week.
If you saw the new trailer on Friday, you didn't see the whole thing. Remedy Entertainment made a longer version of the trailer than the one that aired. This new trailer is narrated by Emily Pope, who you may recognize as the actor behind Jesse Faden, the acting director of the Federal Bureau of Control. You can check that trailer out below.
As a reminder, Control Resonant will release on September 24, 2026 for PlayStation, XBOX, and PC.
CONTROL Resonant features an open-ended, imaginative sandbox that only the talented and creative developers at Remedy Entertainment could devise. The paranaturally twisted Manhattan consists of several zones that are visually diverse, each teeming with unique, dedicated enemy factions. This is the largest and richest environment Remedy has ever constructed for a game.
As Dylan Faden, delving into each biome will offer players a distinct gameplay experience. Some of these are above ground, some deep below, and some exist in dimensions humans were not even aware of. The biomes contain engaging story missions, exciting side quests, such as hunting down rogue Altered Items, dynamic boss fights, and head-scratching puzzles to solve. All of this gives players a wealth of choices in what to pursue and how to progress through the game. Players will also get to experience new, previously unseen sections of the Oldest House, where the first CONTROL took place.
"In this latest trailer we are excited to show the variety and world building we have injected into CONTROL Resonant. Our talented development team is bringing back some of the vibes from the original game, with the return of the Oldest House and Emily Pope narrating," said Mikael Kasurinen, Creative Director of CONTROL Resonant.
The trailer features an exclusive song “Manalan Mailla” performed by Finnish ethno-pop artist Vilma Jää. The track, which was composed specifically for CONTROL Resonant, was written by Teemu Brunila, Jurek, and Vilma Jää.
“Manalan Mailla is inspired by the Ingrian ensemble runonlaulu tradition, with its heterophonic choral parts and lyrics based on alliteration and iteration,” said Vilma Jää. “I also included some herding calls in the song, as I just love to sing as high and as loud as possible whenever I get the chance. Working with the music-making superstars Teemu Brunila and Jurek was very inspiring and a huge honour. Together we created something very catchy while still respecting the folklore."
Today, fans can also look forward to listening to the track “Manalan Mailla” on Spotify, Apple Music, and other selected streaming platforms. Follow Vilma Jää on Instagram at @vilma.jaa.
Remedy Entertainment has also teamed up with iam8bit for a special collaboration, the CONTROL Resonant collection, featuring exclusive and limited merchandise that is open for pre-order now until July 16, and shipping in Q3 2026.
