Remedy’s paranatural thriller is leaving the Oldest House. Control Resonant launches on PlayStation 5 on September 24, and PlayStation Blog’s hands-on frames it as bigger, stranger, and more outdoor than the first game — a warped Manhattan full of entities, dimension shifts, and a powered protagonist hunting for his sister.
What the preview emphasizes
Where Control was a brutalist labyrinth, Resonant pushes into cityscapes and constantly flipping rulesets. The write-up leans hard on discovery and surreal set pieces — the kind of Remedy flex that made Alan Wake 2 a technical talking point — and calls it a must-play for PS5 owners heading into late September.
Pro vs base context
Separate technical coverage notes PS5 Pro Enhanced modes (including a 40fps Balanced path with ray tracing) while base PS5 sticks to Quality/Performance splits. Either way, the date is locked: next week on PS5, with Xbox Series and PC also in the launch window.
