In our latest Community Spotlight, we look at Yasmin's incredible in-depth work exploring one of Alan Wake 2's most mysterious characters, Freya Anderson. .
We recently spoke Tiia Öhman about working as a photographer on the Alan Wake 2 set. Her stunning work can be seen in-game, in marketing, and on merchandise.
To celebrate the game's 10th anniversary, we sat down with Matthew Porretta, the incredible voice actor behind Alan Wake, to talk about his experiences and memories.
Held at the Level Infinite sector, CONTROL Resonant's Gamescom display was definitely a sight to behold. In addition to a section dedicated to its first publicly playable demo, there was a photo area featuring actors and a life-sized Aberrant. But that's not all! Visitors were greeted by a scene straight out of the game with a New York taxi partially engulfed in mold, and an electric traffic sign warning event goers not to eat it, no matter how tempting and fuzzy it looks.
The reception to the game has been incredibly positive, with Level Infinite showcasing the long queues of eager players. Visitors reported lines of up to six hours for the game.
Plus, there was another event. For lucky fans who were quick to book their tickets, there was also a community meetup at Die Kunstbar on Friday.
For those who were able to attend, we hope you had a fabulous time (and hope you brought a book for the queue). For the rest of us, we were living vicariously through the posts on social media...
This @gamescom, we're offering a hands-on demo of CONTROL Resonant to everyone on the PUBLIC show floor! You'll find us in Hall 6, at the @LevelInfinite booth.
We've already had huge queues today - thank you to everyone! We can't wait to meet more of you as Gamescom continues 🫶… pic.twitter.com/Iv2EXqYjsa

Mark your calendars! Remedy will be heading to Tokyo Game Show next month. The team will be bringing with them a playable demo of CONTROL Resonant, available to check out at the SEGA booth.
While the game will be launching a week later, the teaser provides gamers with an early hands-on glimpse of the adventure, before the rest of the world.
The demo can be found at the Sega booth in Hall 4 (04-N01), and will share the space with LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, Total War: WARHAMMER 40,000, Stranger Than Heaven, Persona 4 Revival and Crazy Taxi: World Tour.
For 2026, Tokyo Game Show will be expanding in celebration of its 30th anniversary, with the expo now taking place over five days. The event will be held at the Makuhari Messe between 17th and 21st September. Similar to Gamescom, doors will open to media ("Business Day Pass" owners) on Thursday and Friday, before becoming available for all pass owners over the weekend. Tickets must be purchased in advance on the official website or travel site. For more information, check out the event page, HERE!
Last night, Gamescom Opening Night Live kicked off a week of festivities in Cologne, with 5000 in attendance at Koelnmesse, and millions tuning in online to watch a spotlight being put on some of the most highly anticipated adventures. Heading into the event, Remedy teased on social media that they would be back with a brand new trailer for CONTROL Resonant, and they did not disappoint!
Accompanied by The Prodigy's Omen, the trailer showcases the fast-paced action of the sequel, alongside some familiar faces, both in-game and in live action. Whereas Control's trailers were focused on the haunting beauty of the twisted world, Resonant's melee combat takes centre stage; the style forces you to brave the adrenaline and rush in. That theme has taken over marketing's tone lately, including the wave of new trailers showcased during Summer Games Fest week.
Writing on Twitter about the trailer's creation, Thomas Puha (Communications Director at Remedy) posted, "So glad we got one of my favorite band The Prodigy’s track for our new CONTROL Resonant trailer. The arguments about what track to license… man 😂😂😂 (Go listen to The Jilted Generation while you are at it…)."
