21st August 2026 Remedy To Show New CONTROL Resonant Trailer at Gamescom Opening Night

With a few days to go until Gamescom, Remedy has teased a new CONTROL Resonant trailer set to be shown at Opening Night Live 2026. Take a sigh of relief, Europeans, it's a time-zone-friendly show.

Hosted by Geoff Keighley, Gamescom Opening Night Live will share exclusive first looks at upcoming games. The last time the developers were in attendance, we got a new glimpse of Alan Wake 2, starting a week of frantic writing and a whole lotta news, so get ready. With one month to go before launch, this is likely to be Remedy's final marketing push before the game's launch on September 24th. 

Alongside CONTROL Resonant, viewers will also be able to check out teasers from Tides or Annihilation, The Witcher Wild Hunt, METRO 2039, Gears of War: E-Day, and MEWGENICS.

Mark your calendars for this Tuesday (August 25th) at 111am PT / 2pm ET / 7pm BST (GMT +1) / 8pm CEST / 9pm EEST across the event channels. (Watch HERE or below!)

For Remedy fans attending Gamescom in person, there will be a playable demo of Resonant on the show floor and a sold-out community meet-up on Friday evening.

18th August 2026 CONTROL Resonant Goes Gold! [Physical Editions Delayed to October 15th]

CONTROL Resonant has officially gone gold! The milestone was marked by a group photograph, and later shared on the studio's social media, bringing to an end a seven-year journey.

Game development is a weird magic which requires a lot of complex factors coming together at the right time, all uniquely tailored to an experience. With work taking several years, the news that the adventure is over always brings a weird mixture of emotions. But in a turbulent industry of layoffs and cancelled projects, likely a lot of relief too.

If you're not too familiar with the term, a title going gold is the game considered officially complete. While there will always be patches and last-minute fixes, everything that needs to be in the adventure is there. For physical discs, this means that a master copy has been made and sent for production. 

Speaking of which, alongside the news, Remedy also shared a delay to physical copies, stating that the "release date for the [boxed] game has moved to October 15th. We need just a little more time to deliver the physical version to you, but rest assured - nothing stays contained forever." Digital editions will be unaffected and will launch on September 24th.

18th August 2026 New Alan Wake 2 Patch 1.2.10 Targets Improved PC Performance

Today, Remedy released a surprise new update for Alan Wake 2! While most of the patch notes in this update are aimed at PC gamers, adding features and improvements for those using the NVIDIA GeForce RTX series (and DLSS 4), there are also some fixes for consoles. 

For those looking for a technical breakdown of the DLSS 4, the studio recommends checking out THIS blog post from NVIDIA. The linked article dates back to January 2025 and provides an in-depth look into DLSS 4 enhancements. Published in time for CES 2025, it also revealed a list of seventy-five apps and games set to support DLSS 4 from Day 0, with Alan Wake 2 prominently among them.

With the adventure put front and centre for marketing, NVIDIA revealed that it would be the first game to feature the RTX Mega Geometry technology, which will be available on all RTX graphics cards and laptops. The additions will help reduce CPU overhead, improve FPS and reduce VRAM consumption in heavier ray-traced locations. The latest update capitalises on the latest tech, ensuring a smoother and more powerful experience.

So, what's awaiting PC owners? The new 1.2.10 patch adds support for FSR 4 and FSR Frame Generation, AI-powered upscaling and frame generation technology that increases gameplay smoothness. Alongside the introduction of the DirectX Agility SDK, which adds advanced raytracing and shader models to the experience, alongside support on a wider selection of GPUs.

For console owners, the new update brings bug fixes for community-reported issues, ranging from blocked access to crashing. Check out the full list below...

PlayStation 5 (1.200.009)
Xbox Series (1.2.0.10)
PC (1.2.10) 

Improvements and Additions

[PC] Added support for FSR 4. FSR 4 is automatically enabled on supported GPUs when FSR Super Resolution is selected.
