Control Resonant Devs Officially Confirm Fans’ Most-Requested Feature Is Coming in Post-Launch Update

Control Resonant launched with an immediate New Game Plus mode, allowing players to restart their run right after completion. Developer Remedy Entertainment has now confirmed New Game Plus Plus will arrive in October, enabling players to chain multiple New Game Plus runs without resetting progress. The update was framed as a direct response to community feedback, with Remedy stating it had "heard" player requests for deeper replayability options.

A dedicated photo mode is scheduled for November, addressing another longstanding fan demand. Remedy noted it collaborated with community photographers during development to refine the feature, which was excluded at launch to prioritize core gameplay stability. The studio acknowledged the delay by explaining it needed to ensure the game itself was polished before adding extras.

Beyond these updates, Remedy hinted at future cosmetic additions for protagonist Dylan, though no specifics were provided about their design or release timing. The developer emphasized its commitment to post-launch support, framing these features as extensions of the core experience rather than standalone additions.

Critical reception for Control Resonant has been mixed, with some reviewers praising its technical improvements and world design while others criticized the absence of the studio’s signature narrative flair. Polygon’s review described the game as technically refined but lacking the emotional resonance of Remedy’s previous titles.
