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)

11th August 2026 Watch Frankie Kevich Twitch Stream with Courtney Hope and Sean Durrie

For the past month, actor Frankie Kevich has been a bright light on our Tuesday evenings, with her amazing Twitch streams. Recently, she was joined by fellow actors Courtney Hope (Jesse Faden) and Sean Durrie (Dylan Faden) for a special broadcast, during which she also invited the community to hang out and ask questions.

 In case you couldn't watch it live, the full stream has now been uploaded to Frankie's channel. Check it out, HERE!

While the original plan was to play the game alongside, technical difficulties instead turned the stream into a relaxed hangout with the cast.

As always, Resonant talk was off the table, with the focus primarily on the original adventure. During the three-hour livestream, they delve into the actor's love of animals, their favourite looks for the characters, their experiences playing the original Control, cosplays and lore deep drives, importantly, salmiakki.

The playthroughs began last month and kicked off in style, with an announcement video of her rocking her character's look, "Zoe is a brand new character to Control," she described. "So if you, like Zoe, are not familiar with what transpired at the Federal Bureau of Control, then you should join me on Twitch as we play through the first game. See you there!" Her plan is to go live with the game on Tuesdays at 2pm PT, ahead of the sequel's September 24th launch.
