24th December 2025 Season's Greetings from The Sudden Stop [Featuring Artwork by Lilampki]

Season's Greetings from The Sudden Stop! We've almost made it to the end of the year, and it's been a pretty great one hobby-wise, especially if you like Hiss shenanigans, and who doesn't?!

2025 marked the 30th anniversary of Remedy Entertainment, which the studio celebrated with developer livestreams, competitions, and limited edition merchandise. We also had the release of FBC: Firebreak in the Summer AND the announcement of CONTROL Resonant earlier this month.

Next year is already looking bright, with that next instalment of the CONTROL series set to launch. In Resonant, the story picks up years later and things have gotten weirder. Director Jesse Faden is MIA, and the Hiss has broken out of containment. Armed with a service weapon of sorts, The Abberant, it's down to Dylan Faden to step up. So, it's a good thing that the FBC has been so kind to him all these years. Plus! Don't forget that FBC Firebreak's Rogue Protocol is set to kick the year off, bringing new content to the firebreaking experience. 

As we begin our Christmas holidays, we wanted to take a moment today to share our new festive artwork and give a shoutout to its wonderful creator. 

We have a little traditional every December where we commission an artist in the community to create a special Christmas card. We've had the opportunity to work with incredible artists over the years, and for 2025, I was so excited to be able to collaborate with Kat aka lilampki. 

Each year's design is centred around a theme, usually a game launch or anniversary. For 2025, FBC: Firebreak was the obvious choice. (With that in mind, you may already have an inkling about 2026.) Lilampki's artwork is fun and wholesome, making her style the perfect fit for the game. We fell in love with her humour and lighthearted twists, from Coffee World spins to Halloween Caseys. Her characters are always expressive and charming, and her colours warm and comforting. 

We are huge, huge fans of her work, and we are so grateful for the love and nerdiness she brought to the card. Thank you, Kat!

Yesterday, Remedy sent out their December 2025 issue of A Dose of Remedy, a newsletter which explores the weird and wonderful world of game development. In their latest email, they mirror their end of year article, with a wrap up of everything that has happened these past twelve months. 2025 was packed with the release of FBC: Firebreak, the studio's 30th anniversary, and the reveal of CONTROL Resonant.

This newsletter is recreated in full below as an archive of Remedy's history, but we highly recommend subscribing directly to receive all the goodness via your inbox.

This dose will take you 2 minutes to read.

Welcome to A Dose of Remedy!

Dear Remedy community,

Welcome to our annual wrap up, where we go through all the big milestones that we reached together this year.

2025 was a big year for Remedy. One game release, a big game announcement at the very end of the year – oh and also, our studio turned 30 years old.

FBC: Firebreak released

In June we released FBC: Firebreak, our first multiplayer game. This was an exciting new challenge for the studio, and a change of pace for our audience. We have been taking your feedback on board when it comes to Firebreak and in which direction it develops. Our most recent Breakpoint major update introduced a lot of changes to the game to make it easier for new players to get into it, and to streamline gameplay and progress.

There's more coming for FBC: Firebreak in 2026, including a completely new game mode. Major Update Rogue Protocol will be coming in January – read about what you can expect here.

CONTROL Resonant revealed

The CONTROL universe continues in 2026 – the sequel to CONTROL is coming next year. In CONTROL Resonant, you play as Dylan Faden, in a Manhattan taken over by paranatural forces that want its annihilation. Dylan is tasked by his former captors, the FBC, to fight for humanity's survival and find the missing Director of the Federal Bureau of Control, his sister Jesse Faden. To do this, he wields a shapeshifting weapon, the Aberrant, which takes many forms that you can switch between to best your enemies.

CONTROL Resonant is a direct sequel to CONTROL, an open-ended action-adventure RPG coming out in 2026. We'll be talking about it more in the upcoming months.

Remedy turned 30 years old

In August, we hit a big milestone and blew out thirty candles on our birthday cake. Remedy Entertainment has been around since 1995, and we've been making games for you since then to this day. We're so grateful to everyone who is a part of our fanbase and community! We couldn't be here today without your support and love for the games we make.

As part of out thirtieth anniversary celebrations, we asked our community to show us, in video form, what Remedy's games have meant to them. We got such an outpouring of responses that we were kind of overwhelmed – thank you to the hundreds of you who sent in their video responses. We couldn't fit all of you into a video, but we did our best.

Here's our 30th anniversary tribute, by our community and to our community! Consider it a little holiday gift from us.❤️

Thank you for another year of supporting Remedy and our games. We'll see you in 2026! It's gonna get weirder.

From Espoo with love,
Remedy Entertainment

17th December 2025 New CONTROL Resonant Teaser Explores Dylan Faden's Ambitions & Conflicts

CONTROL Resonant is designed as both a direct sequel to Control and as its own standalone title. While we heavily recommend checking out the original 2019 adventure, there will also be players going into the adventure not knowing who Dylan Faden is or the anything but Ordinary mystery behind the siblings. 

To refresh your memory or catch you up to date on the character, Remedy has posted a new teaser for CONTROL Resonant centred around the broody (though not without reason) protagonist. While the two-minute video is targeted for new or returning audiences, there's also snippets of new information for those players whose Oldest House feels more like the Oldest Home by this point. 

Check out the trailer below, and scroll further down for a full transcript.

Introducing Dylan Faden Video Transcript

Faced with a reality bending cosmic threat, humanity's salvation lies in Dylan Faden, an unlikely hero seeking redemption in CONTROL Resonant.

We last left Dylan in a coma after his sister, Jesse, thwarted his attempt to help the monovalent entity, The Hiss, take over The Federal Bureau of Control. Now, freed from the Hiss' influence, woken from his coma, and with Jesse missing, Dylan steps out into a warped version of Manhattan.

To save humanity and himself, he'll need to find his sister and prevent a paranatural crisis that threatened to tear this world apart. 

At the start of CONTROL Resonant, Dylan is still grappling with the tragic events of his childhood, and the emotional scars left by growing up as a captive of the FBC.

Leaving FBC headquarters, The Oldest House, for the first time since he was a child, Dylan will have to come to terms with his own pain, the damage he's caused others, and the choices he'll have to make to save the world. Like his sister, Jesse, Dylan is a powerful parautilitarian, the FBC's term for people with otherworldly abilities, who can wield Objects of Power, mysterious items of parantural properties.

While Jesse's service weapon morphed into various gun types to keep the enemies at a distance, Dylan's Object of Power, The Aberrant, is melee focused, allowing him to close in on his foes and unleash brutal finishes. 

It's not just The Aberrant that develops across the game, however, Dylan's volatile powers had already seen him branded a threat to the bureau, and as he explores more of the world outside The Oldest House, he'll both develop new abilities, and hone his existing ones; turning him from paranatural powder keg to focused fearsome combatant.

Whether it will be enough for him to prevent reality from collapsing and discover his own purpose and salvation, you'll have to see for yourself when CONTROL Resonant releases on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series x and S, and PC via Steam and The Epic Games Store in 2026
