About the Game
After years in confinement at the hands of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), Dylan Faden emerges into a warped Manhattan at the peak of a paranatural crisis.
Charged with combating a mysterious cosmic entity as it alters fundamental aspects of our reality, Dylan must harness his new-found powers to take the fight to the myriad threats overwhelming Manhattan.
Join Dylan in this sequel to the multi-award-winning CONTROL to explore the expansive zones of a city overrun by the corrupting influences of the chaotic Hiss, invasive micro-organism, the Mold, and other twisted paranatural threats.
On the path to unlocking the full potential of his paranatural abilities Dylan will also seek out his sister, FBC Director Jesse Faden, as he bids to comprehend and contain the dangers that have spilled beyond the confines of the Oldest House to tear our world apart.
STEP INTO A WARPED REALITY
Explore multiple areas of a ravaged Manhattan in an expansive, unfamiliar, and exciting world.
Traverse perception-bending locations and grapple with gravity anomalies that distort the vertical and horizontal plane, adding additional dimensions to puzzles and new tactical decisions to combat.
Meet faces old and new on a path fraught with risk but rich in opportunity as the cityscape is reshaped and reality is redefined by a godlike force.
MASTER THE PARANATURAL
Channel the raw experiences of Dylan’s past to help understand his present and dig deeper into the inner workings of the FBC and reveal the horrors threatening humankind.
Tap into power he must learn to master and take choices to shape how his abilities manifest and grow.
Explore a deep progression system to define how Dylan adapts to emerging dangers. Forge connections crucial to Dylan’s fight to retain his humanity as he journeys from former test subject to paranatural superweapon.
THE FIGHT SHIFTS. YOUR WEAPON SHIFTS WITH IT.
Meet constantly evolving threats head-on, utilising the environment, deploying elemental abilities and using the raw force of Dylan’s shapeshifting melee weapon, the Aberrant.
Wield the Aberrant in its many deadly forms. Deliver bone-crunching blows with a two-handed hammer and flow seamlessly into the swift precision of dual-wielded blades as this paranatural weapon morphs on demand to meet each new challenge.
SHARED LEGACY. NEW THREAT
FBC Director Jesse Faden's lockdown is no longer holding. A paranatural catastrophe has spilled beyond the Oldest House and onto the streets of Manhattan, and the Bureau's grip on containment is failing.
Jesse Faden walked into the Oldest House to confront the threat within. Now Dylan must walk out of it to contain the threat beyond.

Official update history
As the game launches globally today, CONTROL Resonant has already been in the hands of a significant number of players. We have been keeping a close eye on player feedback, reading all the reviews, and looking at early player data. And, of course, we have been spending a lot (a lot!) of time playing the final game ourselves over the past few weeks. It's great to see players enjoying the game and having a great time with it.
Based on what we have seen so far, we have decided to deploy a hotfix (1.3.3) at launch to address a few specific things: enemy health pools feeling too high, requiring too many hits to Falter (stun) enemies for executions, and Dylan’s overall combat strength early on in the game not feeling powerful enough (even if the man just woke up from a coma).
Enemy Health and Dylan’s Combat Strength
We strongly believe these changes will improve the gameplay feel and flow while still providing a challenge.
Depending on player progression, enemies can feel too tanky during the early hours of the game. To address this, we are making the following changes:
Reduce the base health and required Falter (stun) level of most enemies, as well as the Dancer and Deserter bosses
Increase maximum Aberrant Strength and maximum Ability Strength
These strength increases follow a curve, with progressively larger increases towards the end. The more upgrades you have, the more damage you deal.
Assist Mode
If you want to tweak the game further to your liking and tailor individual parts of the experience, such as enemy aggression, incoming damage, or how quickly Dylan recovers his abilities, the Assist Mode is there for you in the Gameplay menu of the game’s options. You can use the sliders to adjust the difficulty to your preference and have much more control over individual aspects of the experience, even to make the game more harder if you want!
Respeccing
To encourage buildcrafting and experimentation, we are permanently reducing the cost of respeccing and increasing the stock of these “Reset Items” across all vendors in the game.
In addition, the first Resonant boss fight (The Artist) will now drop two “Reset Items” instead of one.
UI Text Updates
We will also update a couple of English UI texts to explain Build Power and Aberrant Strength better. These text changes will be English-only for now, with localizations to follow as soon as possible.
Aberrant Strength: “Multiplier X%” will now be: “Damage and Falter X%”.
Build Power: “Calculated based on equipped Weapon Forms, Talents and Core Upgrades.” will now be: “From unlocked Combat Abilities, Aberrant forms/upgrades, Talents, and Core Upgrades.”
We will closely follow your feedback and make further adjustments as needed. Enjoy the game, take your time, explore, and let us know what you think.
Known Issues
We are aware of a number of issues currently affecting players. For the latest information and updates, please see our Known Issues thread in the forums.

Thank you for the early impressions, and we hope you have fun exploring altered Manhattan in CONTROL Resonant!
