Remedy Entertainment has officially unveiled detailed gameplay information for its new title, 'Control: Resonant', during the State of Play event on the 13th. This new entry expands upon the world of its predecessor, presenting an action game centered on supernatural phenomena where players must confront various anomalies in a reality that is collapsing. Through the latest footage, the developer introduced the game's core systems, setting, and new characters, outlining the overall direction of the project.

One of the game's primary settings, the Western Incursion Zone, is a place where reality has been separated by supernatural forces and the terrain shifts in real-time. While not a fully open-world game, it is composed of expansive zones. Each zone features various side activities and hidden elements alongside the main narrative missions. As players venture deeper into these zones, the architecture warps and gravity becomes unstable, highlighting the severe spatial distortion.

The protagonist, Dylan, works with Zoe de Vera, a field agent for the Federal Bureau of Control, to resolve incidents. Zoe acts as a guide, helping Dylan assess situations in the field and explaining the context of the events. The relationship between the two characters plays a significant role in the story, serving as a key motivation for Dylan as he struggles to maintain his humanity while responding to supernatural crises.

Dylan utilizes various supernatural abilities to explore spaces that defy the laws of physics. Players can use the 'Reach' ability to traverse areas inaccessible by normal means, or activate the 'Shift' ability in gravity-anomalous zones to change their momentum and movement direction. Even on inverted surfaces, players can walk normally once they make contact. Players must identify surfaces unaffected by gravity to navigate their path.

The core combat tool is 'Aberrant', a shape-shifting melee weapon. This weapon can instantly transform into various forms such as a hammer, blade, scythe, or boxing gloves, supporting diverse combat styles. Users can unlock new weapon forms and abilities to build their own unique combo attack systems. A customization system is also included, allowing players to pre-configure gear and skills to suit both aerial and ground combat styles.

The boss-level enemies, known as 'Resonants', are individuals who once possessed great power but have been corrupted by supernatural forces. By defeating them, Dylan acquires new combat abilities and expands his arsenal. The game's title is derived from these interactions with such enemies.

Control: Resonant is scheduled to launch on PS5 later this year.
