20th September 2026 Remedy To Add Arabic Localisation to CONTROL Resonant in Post-Launch Support

If you've been following CONTORL Resonant's journey on social media, then you'll likely have noticed the passionate fanbase who petitioned for Arabic localisation to be brought to the game. While it won't be available for the launch, Remedy has confirmed that they will be including it as part of their post-launch support for the game. 

The petition was kindled following the studio's reveal back in April of the fifteen languages the game was set to support from launch. Despite being self-published, CONTROL: Resonant offers the largest selection of languages of any Remedy game, even compared to past collaborations with big-name publishers such as Smilegate, Microsoft Game Studios, and 505 Games. Still, the message was very clear that there was a lot of love for an additional language to be added to the list. 

In a social media post, Remedy teased a little into those post-launch plans stating, "We're happy to announce that CONTROL Resonant will feature Arabic localization! The game will feature Arabic interface and subtitles. Arabic localization will be coming to CONTROL Resonant some time in the post-launch period. We will be announcing a date later down the line."

19th September 2026 Ronan Summers Reveals Upcoming CONTROL Resonant Twitch Livestream

With CONTROL Resonant just days away, actor Ronan Summers has announced that he will be kicking off his new Twitch channel with a special playthrough of the game. 

In the Control series, Summers plays Security Chief Simon Arish. In Resonant, the developers have teased how the weight and guilt over his role have toughened out his character since lockdown was first implemented seven years ago. While welcoming Jesse, Arish's attitude toward Dylan is far more antagonistic and suspicious.

Sharing the news in a video on social media, Summers introduces the new Twitch channel, declaring, "Stop what you are doing. Do not scroll any further. My name is Ronan Summers, and even though you might not know my name, you've probably been listening to my voice in some of your favourite games for, like,  the last fifteen/twenty years. We are talking the entire Forza Horizon series, Battlefield, Dead Island 2, Cyberpunk 2077, League of Legends, Control, and of course, CONTROL Resonant, which drops on September 24. So make sure you pre-order that now. Now, I have been going absolutely crazy about CONTROL Resonant on my socials in general recently, which has led to a phenomenal development."

He continues, "I have somehow managed to get my hands on an actual legit sponsor who is going to hook me up with top-of-the-line PC gear, which is going to allow me to play through my entire back catalogue of games from way back when to right up to now, starting with the very exciting launch of CONTROL Resonant. I've got my game key. They're coming over to put the stuff in my house very soon. We've got tons of cool plans for the channel. We're going to have guests coming in and playing their own games. And I mean famous guests, I've been talking to some people. And we're going to be doing, of course, new drops when I have new games coming out, which I do, very, very often."

At the moment, there isn't a fixed date or time for the livestream, though at the end of the video he encourages viewers to follow him on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitch to be alerted when those initial details are available.

18th September 2026 Embargo Lifts on CONTROL Resonant Reviews [Spoilers] Updated

The embargo has officially lifted on CONTROL Resonant reviews! It's a huge day for the studio and an exciting one for the community, as we get our first opportunity, ahead of next week's launch, to see how the adventure performs.

Now, it's likely that if you're visiting this site, you've already decided whether to buy a long time ago, regardless of reviews. We are those kinds of nerds. Still, a strong early reception is a strong indicator of the game's overall reception and future success. And as AAA titles come with a fairly hefty price, reviews can be enough to nudge it further up the priority list.

The lower-than-usual price tag for Resonant will definitely help with that, especially alongside that strong 84 Metacritic score! 

As a developer, this can also be the most nerve-wracking day. You've been working on the project for years, and it can be tied to many complex emotions. I know some devs who absolutely avoid early reviews, and others who eagerly seek them out. However, you're marking today, congratulations to the amazing dev team behind the project! 

Warning! If you're avoiding spoilers ahead of your time in Manhattan, you may want to come back to these articles after your playthrough.

Below are some of the reviews that we found online. As always, this list will be added to over the next few days...
