11th October 2026 NYVGCC Lists CONTROL Resonant Merch Bundle To Raise Money Local Video Game Programmes

To help fund their incredible projects, the New York Video Games Critic Circle have recently listed a number of rare collectables on their Ebay page, including a special set. Hidden among the gems is a CONTROL Resonant-themed bundle, complete with tote bag, t-shirt, FBC mug, and luggage strap.

At the time of writing, there are eighteen bids, with the listing currently set at $81. There's still plenty of time to put in a bid, though, with the listing due to end on Tuesday (midnight BST).

The collection features a number of rare convention-specific merchandise. Included...

• A black tote bag printed with the CONTROL Resonant logo in bold white ink
• A luggage strap which shows a repeated pattern of the game and studio logos, and a large, easy-to-use clip. When not in use, you can store the strap in the pouch, which also bears the game's logo. 
• A matt black mug with the FBC logo in stark white
• A Rare black t-shirt available only at conventions. 

The t-shirt is listed as a small and features a stylish red print against a black background. If you've already played the game, you may recognise the art from The Enemy Of My Enemy mission featuring a pensive Arish and the perilously balanced CFD at the top of the Evacuation Site. An early teaser for attendees at Gamescom, the shirt has extra meaning once the game has been completed.

The money raised through their Ebay listings helps fund their community-driven programs, including Playing with Purpose, which provides a stepping stone into game development by bringing comprehensive classes and workshops in journalism and game narrative to schools and homeless shelters across New York. Through it, they have helped support fresh talent through semester-long games writing and journalism classes with Bronx and Brooklyn students, resulting in scholarships. Though NYCC has a wider reach in the city, it arranges game development talks in local libraries and mentors older adults with VR to take them on trips they can no longer take.

Others shared problems leaving the Gap after defeating The West Incursion Zone Resonant. If this sounds familiar, make sure that you've got the latest version downloaded.

8th September 2026 TVPulse Magazine Talks To CONTROL Resonant's Sean Durrie on Bringing Dylan Faden To Life

Our friend Jennifer Griffin over at TVPulse Magazine recently interviewed Sean Durrie on taking on the hero's mantle in CONTROL Resonant. 

Spanning just over seventy minutes, their conversation touches on a range of topics, including an exploration of Dylan's humanity, the process of bringing the character to life through motion capture and voice recordings, as well as his experience working with Remedy. He also delved into the studio's audition process and how different it is from what you might expect.

While it's a very nerdy interview (our favourite kind!), it's also a very relaxed one, which opened the doors to a deeper exploration of the character. Early on, Sean talks about the emotional weight on the protagonist and how cautious he was about conveying it just right. "The totality of Dylan's experience, there were many parts that got me pretty emotional because I definitely... I didn't want to make him a caricature of a person with trauma, and so I wanted to do justice, cos there are people that that's a very real experience for them, and I didn't want to make it false," Sean states. "So, I did a lot of research on how trauma can affect someone on a physical level, as well as a mental level." 

Sean Durrie began working with Remedy back in 2013, initially stepping into the role of a prototype version of Jack Joyce for Quantum Break before becoming the fan-favourite character Nick Marsters in the final edition. Even before the establishment of the Remedy Connected Universe, the studio regularly worked with some of its favourite actors, including Matthew Porretta, Ilkka Villi, James McCaffrey, and Fred Berman, just to name a few. While Quantum Break is not officially part of the RCU, it gave the studio the opportunity to bring in some familiar faces, reuniting with both Courtney Hope (Beth Wilder) and Sean Durrie for Control. 

Make sure to check out the interview below or on the TVPulse YouTube channel, HERE!

For those wary of spoilers, Jennifer mentions in her article, "Please note, this interview does not contain major plot or character spoilers from Control Resonant, but it does involve a deep discussion on the game, its story, Dylan’s arc, and other details."
