CONTROL Resonant (PS5)

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 newfound 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, the invasive micro-organism known as 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 spilt beyond the confines of the Oldest House to tear our world apart.

Characteristics

• Step Into a Warped Reality – Explore multiple areas of a ravaged Manhattan in an expansive, unfamiliar and exciting world.

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 understand his present, delve deeper into the inner workings of the FBC, and uncover the horrors threatening humankind. Tap into powers he must learn to master and make choices that shape how his abilities manifest and grow. Explore a deep progression system to define how Dylan adapts to emerging dangers. Forge connections crucial to retaining 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 wielding the raw force of Dylan’s shapeshifting melee weapon, the Aberrant. Use the Aberrant in its many deadly forms, delivering bone-crunching blows with a two-handed hammer before flowing seamlessly into the swift precision of dual-wielded blades as the 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 spilt beyond the Oldest House and onto the streets of Manhattan, and the Bureau's grip on containment is failing.
