Control Resonant is ‘A Must-Have Day-One Purchase,’ Says Remedy

The previews and early looks at Control Resonant have been fantastic, and Remedy is clearly embracing the hype, as a recent earnings call has declared Control Resonant to be a game you simply must own in 2026.

The Half-Year Financial Report for Remedy Entertainment in 2026 is in.

We’ve had an update on the Max Payne 1 & 2 Remakes, which should be a big win, and Control Resonant was one of the biggest focal points of the announcement.

Remedy Wants to Ship an ‘Outstanding game’ in Control Resonant

In the earnings report, Remedy CEO Jean-Charles Gaudechon described Control as something the team wants to build into a ‘lasting franchise.’

He explained how ‘Control Resonant drew a lot of praise as media and content creators went hands-on with a significant portion of the game during Q2,’ and Insider Gaming’s Control Resonant preview can attest to this.

Moreover, the period after Resonant opening its pre-orders saw the sequel rank ‘among the top three pre-ordered games in the US, Germany, and Brazil.’

Gaudechon also discussed how Remedy perceives Resonant:

“Our first priority is to ship an outstanding game, and that guided how we selected the release date. We position CONTROL Resonant as a must-have day-one purchase while also building CONTROL into a lasting franchise. In a competitive autumn window, we believe the distinctiveness and quality of the game will make it stand out. CONTROL Resonant will be available across all major platforms from day one and is priced attractively for an AAA title. Combined with the release window becoming slightly less crowded since our original reveal, we remain confident in our positioning.”

Resonant arrives during a crowded September window, which will see the game come up agianst The Blood of Dawnwalker, NBA 2K27, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Marvel’s Wolverine, and many more.

We’ll have to see how much control Remedy has over its star game’s performance.
