Control Resonant might launch as early as Q2 2026

Remedy Entertainment has confirmed the release timeline for Control Resonant, the highly anticipated sequel to its 2019 hit. According to a late-2025 investor report, the game is now slated for launch at the end of Q2 2026, trimming down the vague 2026 release window revealed when the game was announced.

According to Inderes (via GamingBolt), Remedy described the title as a “critical release” for the studio's future, expressing high confidence that it will drive both commercial success and shareholder value over the coming year.

The sequel shifts the perspective to Dylan Faden, Jesse's brother, who navigates an open-ended Manhattan consumed by a paranormal crisis. Remedy claims this is their most expansive project to date, moving away from the “Oldest House” setting into a large-scale urban environment. While the studio's sales estimates remain conservative, with about 1.8 million units in its launch year, the massive 20-million-strong player base of the original Control (boosted by Game Pass and PlayStation Plus) suggests the sales number has the potential to be much higher.

In addition to the Control news, Remedy provided a brief update on the Max Payne 1 and 2 remakes. While a late 2026 release is still technically possible, the studio now expects royalty payments in 2027, suggesting the launch might lean toward next year. Control Resonant is confirmed for a simultaneous launch on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
