Remedy's Control Resonant launches into a packed September lineup, PS5 gets exclusive 2-day early access

Remedy Entertainment's new action RPG Control Resonant is coming September 24, 2026 to PS5, and September 26 to Xbox Series X/S, and PC, the studio has announced, with a 2-day early access window being offered exclusively to PlayStation 5 gamers.

Remedy's latest game is due this September, bringing the studio's distinct artistic style to the realm of Devil May Cry-like hack-and-slash combat. Control Resonant is a direct sequel to Remedy's 2019 hit Control, chronicling the adventures of Dylan, the supernaturally-powered brother of Jesse Faden, complete with an action RPG focus that emphasizes combat and open-world exploration.

Control Resonant pre-orders are currently open for all platforms, and the game is priced at $59.99 for the base version and $69.99 for the deluxe edition, which includes in-game extras, a soundtrack, and an artbook. Remedy teamed up with PlayStation to offer 2-day exclusive early access to PS5 users--anyone who buys the PS5 digital deluxe edition will get 48 hours of early playtime with Resonant.

The new State of Play footage didn't really showcase more of the game's interesting combat, which utilizes one of the most unique forms of locomotion we've seen in gaming, hearkening back to games like Gravity Rush. Add a layered storyline with RPG progression systems, loot, and what looks to be satisfying combat, and Resonant could end up being a major GOTY contender.

Earlier reports indicated that Remedy could launch Control Resonant in Q2 2026, however those forecasts turned out to be inaccurate, and Resonant is instead launching into a busy Q3 instead.

Other games launching in September include Blood of the Dawnwalker (September 3), Insomniac's Wolverine game (September 15), Silent Hill Townfall (September 24), and Capcom's new Onimusha Way of the Sword (September 25).
