Concept art for The Oldest House shows a tall windowless brutalist building.

Situated in Manhattan, The Oldest House is the home of the FBC. Following The Hiss invasion, it has been in lockdown, as the bureau attempts to deal with the threat internally. Despite being a soaring skyscraper, the building remains unnoticeable to the ordinary passerby.

Control rejoins the Amazon Luna platform! 💜 The title was originally one of the first titles to be part of the service four years ago. It's now rejoins the platform, following Alan Wake Remastered and Alan Wake 2, which were added earlier this year.

The Hiss is a hostile paranatural resonance that escaped from an alternative dimension, Slidescape-36. The FBC's only protection is the HRAs (Hedron Resonance Amplifiers), which counteract the Hiss resonance. While fighting continues, the threat has so far been contained within The Oldest House.

Essentially the boss's boss, The Board is a mysterious and powerful entity that resides in the Astral Plane. They dictate who becomes Director of the FBC; a role which allows the occupant to wield the otherworldly Service Weapon, but who also works under the strict and critical eye(s?) of The Board.

Objects of Power are Altered Items that are connected to the Astral Plane. They can be bound to a paraultiliarian, for instance, Jesse's Service Weapon, the Directoral Hotline (below), or Dylan's Aberrant. Bounding an OoP can help that individual wield the item's power.

New gameplay details on Control Resonant’s supernatural action Exploration, abilities, combat progression and boss clashes are the focus of a new look at Remedy’s upcoming sci-fi thriller.

Want to go more in-depth on the gameplay teaser? Sergey Mohov has you covered! Over on the PlayStation Blog, #ControlResonant's Lead Gameplay Designer talks more about Dylan's supernatural abilities and those pesky Resonants.

A screenshot from CONTROL Resonant. Dylan launches himself at a masked figure halo-ed by far too many arms holding far too many batons.

A screenshot from CONTROL Resonant. Dylan walks across the brick-laden ground towards a building with "Follow the Voices". There's also some ominous people hovering in neat lines and columns. Probably fine, don't worry.

A screenshot from CONTROL Resonant. Dylan using the Abberant to attack an enemy who is SHOOTING LASERS FROM ITS FACE. We think it's the face. Could be stomach. Or back. I'm not a doctor.

Check out the first glimpse of CONTROL Resonant gameplay, showcased during PlayStation's State of Play. The snippet features clips of an early mission and early power, with a voice-over by Mikael Kasurinen (Creative Director).

A little bit of a deviation from our usual Control Resonant 101 images. The background is a concept art piece from Alan Wake 2.

Altered World Events are cases in which paranatural forces have impacted our reality, changing it in unpredictable and dangerous ways. The events of Alan Wake (2010) are classed by the FBC as the Bright Falls AWE. Find an AWE, and they may have an Object of Power or Altered Item.

A piece of concept art from Control featuring the Ordinary AWE map as a 3D model. In the bottom left is a photo posted on a board of the town. It seems very familiar and small-town-America.

Both Dylan's and Jesse's lives were impacted greatly following the Altered World Event in their home of Ordinary. As kids, the two discovered a slideshow projector which acted as a portal into other dimensions. Following a tragedy, Dylan was taken in by the FBC. Jesse escaped.

An alternate story with a different ending

I've never played a single Remedy game. I just like making people look at my cat photos.

A screenshot of what we presume is Jesse Faden from the CONTROL Resonant reveal trailer. She wears her hair short, partly in a bun at the back. In her hand is the Aberrant, which takes the form of a metal rod.

Jesse Faden, Dylan's older sister and the now-missing Director of the FBC. A powerful parautilitarian, Jesse was assigned the role by The Board after being led to the FBC by a familiar telepathic resonance-based entity called Polaris. She had been searching for Dylan for years.

AH, it's tomorrow, not today, but the sentiment is year-long. ❤️

Oh, I definitely prefer the big foam ones that go HONK in that case.

A screenshot from the CONTROL Resonant trailer featuring Dylan holding The Aberrant as he prepares to fight The Hiss. The text reads "101. The Aberrant."

Dylan's weapon in CONTROL Resonant is The Aberrant, an Object of Power, which can take multiple deadly forms. On demand, it can go from a heavy two-handed hammer to swift dual blades. Paired with Dylan's evolving powers, it provides fast-paced melee combat.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 🎉🎂

New to the world of Control? Meet Dylan Faden, a parautilitarian forcibly enlisted as a child into the FBC's hostile Prime Candidate Program. He was deemed by the bureau as hostile, unpredictable, and later considered a lost cause. He fell into a coma after being purged of The Hiss.
