Remedy Entertainment’s half-year financial report for 2026 is in, and it spells good news for Control Resonant. As of today, the upcoming action-adventure has over 1.5 million wishlists across all platforms.
There was a “healthy momentum” when pre-orders opened last June, according to the company’s analytics, and it’s currently among the top three in the United States, Brazil and Germany on PlayStation. Which is important because those who pre-order the Deluxe Edition on PS5 will receive 48 hours of early access.
While Remedy didn’t go into detail about pre-orders compared precisely to Alan Wake 2 or the original Control, Resonant is apparently “tracking well against comparable titles.” As marketing amps up ahead of launch, there’s potential for a stronger opening, but time will tell.
Regarding the release date, especially with so many other titles landing in the same month, Remedy remains “confident in our positioning.” It also noted that the release window has become “slightly less crowded,” perhaps referring to Onimusha: Way of the Sword being preponed and Phantom Blade Zero getting delayed to late October.
Regardless, it believes that the “distinctiveness and quality” will help the title stand out. As such, “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.”
Control Resonant launches on September 24th for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Check out the latest gameplay here, which gives us a closer look at a dungeon known as a Fault that players will explore, complete with its own story and unique ability to unlock.
