Control Resonant arrives on September 24th, and there’s plenty more for Remedy to reveal in the months ahead. Those who purchased the Deluxe Edition for advanced access can start two days earlier, but as it turns out, this is only on PS5.
Communications director Thomas Puha clarified this on Twitter, confirming it’s a PlayStation-exclusive benefit. Strangely enough, it’s not specified on the PlayStation Store, despite the platform-specific trailer indicating as much. Either way, if you’re on PC or Xbox Series X/S, it’s kind of a bummer.
Aside from this, Puha also confirmed that hands-on impressions are on the way, with Remedy venturing to Mexico City, São Paulo, Warsaw, Berlin and London to provide game access to the press and content creators. “We’ve been working on this the entire year. Setting this up all on our own has been a mammoth effort. Very excited to have folks get a good feel for the game and combat especially,” he said.
Pre-orders are now live for Control Resonant, and unlike many titles which have adopted the $70 price tag, the Standard Edition costs $59.99. This is despite being Remedy’s “biggest and most ambitious” game to date, right down to the 100 GB of installation space required on PC.
The Deluxe Edition costs $69.99, and aside from advanced access, you get an AWE Mission Outfit, a starter resource bundle, a digital art book and soundtrack, and an Untapped Artifact which serves as a “wallet.” Stay tuned for more details and gameplay in the coming weeks.
