The upcoming release of Control: Resonance marks Remedy's attempt at new creative directions for the series. Unlike conventional third-person shooters, Control incorporates melee elements. Remedy seems confident in this significant change, hoping for a major success right from the start.
In its latest financial report, Remedy described Control: Resonance as a must-buy title. The team not only hopes for a successful launch day but also aims for the Control series as a whole to benefit from this release.
Remedy stated that they believe the game's quality will help it stand out among other titles releasing in late September. The studio also mentioned that an attractive price point and availability across all platforms should help the game reach a broad audience. "We are positioning Control: Resonance as a day-one must-buy, which will help establish Control as a long-term franchise."
Control has sold over 6 million copies to date, so the team's goal is to achieve even larger-scale and more successful sales with the sequel.
