6th October 2026 The Stupendium Releases New CONTROL Resonant-Inspired Track, The Sky Below

The Stupendium is back with another Remedy-themed music video, this time centred around the twisting world of CONTROL Resonant!

Sponsored by the developer, The Sky Below is their second collaboration, following on from their ambitious Alan Wake 2-inspired music, The Ribbon. 

Since the game was released, we've been careful to keep spoilers off this site and our social media channels, particularly since the physical launch has been delayed until later this month. In terms of spoilers, this one isn't too bad, as the video is more to encourage new players to jump into the experience. Out of caution, we watched it after completing the game, and for us, that's the recommended route. There are no real spoilers in the sense of major plot points, so completing the game isn't necessary first, buuuut depending on how cautious you were with spoilers during the marketing build-up, this might be a link you want to revisit afterwards.

In the video's description, Stupendium talked about what the collaboration enabled them to achieve: "I’m very grateful, because their sponsorship meant we could go ALL OUT on this video. We have ALL the toys in this one: Armando our robot arm, a new (second-hand) super slow-mo camera, the smoke machine, the caustic light projector, prismatic lens filters, an air-compressor… and that’s just the gear! Did I mention we booked a rain studio and custom built TWO sets? AND ONE ROTATES? "

"The whole team worked super hard on this one. Every second is packed full of really cool stuff, I think it came out incredibly. I hope you think so too! Maybe take a second to look at all the lovely names in the credits below and appreciate them for their work!" The track features two singers, with Cami-Cat returning to her role as Jesse. He continues, "Special thanks to the wonderful @Cami-Cat for jumping on this track and providing the vocals for Jesse’s character. We had to get her back on this one as she’s been on all of my other Remedy-verse songs! She knocks it out of the park every single time - go give her some love!"

5th October 2026 Stream Petri Alanko's Hauntingly Beautiful CONTROL Resonant Soundtrack Now!

Not ready to leave Manhattan just yet? Petri Alanko's hauntingly beautiful soundtrack for CONTROL Resonant is now available to stream!

Published by Milan Records and Sony Music, the thirteen-track collection includes The One I Once Knew, heard in the closing credits and featuring Amelia Jones. If you've played Alan Wake 2, you may recognise her name or voice from previous collaborations with Alanko, including End of an Era for The Lake House expansion. (The piece was originally an early exclusive to NME before the full album was released.)

The album also features Obsessive Compulsive Order, the iconic track which was paired with Resonant's announcement trailer at The Game Awards 2025. Released separately as an early teaser in mid-June, the standalone piece announced Alanko's continuing collaboration with the studio!

Known in the games industry for his gorgeous music, Petri Alanko's relationship with Remedy began with Alan Wake and continued through each of the projects since. While he's been involved with the studio for over the past fifteen years, his collaboration is always a treat to discover, having become a staple of the Remedy Connected Universe. His work with CONTROL Resonant pushes the bar further, with a strong soundtrack featuring an emotional core throughout. His eighteen-minute piece, Sibling Theme (Broken Conduit) - Long Version, is the perfect example of the strength and vulnerability he has imbued in his work. 

If you want to learn more about how he brought the soundtrack to life, Alanko has recently spoken to MusicRadar about the creation process.

3rd October 2026 CONTROL Resonant Receives Two Golden Joystick Award Nominations, Best Supporting Actor with Frankie & Best Visuals

CONTROL Resonant may have only just been released, but it's already attracted critical acclaim, receiving two nominations for Best Visual Design and Best Supporting Performer at this year's Golden Joystick Awards.

Voting is now open to the public until October 23rd. The results will be announced at Golden Joystick Awards in Central London on November 11th, broadcast live on YouTube.

Praised for its sweeping, twisted landscapes and gorgeous visuals, it's perhaps no surprise that CONTROL Resonant has been selected for Best Visual Design. For the selection process, the organisers describe the category as recognition of "technical brilliance and artistic flair. These are the games that push the limits of console or PC hardware, or that create coherent, immersive, worlds that we never want to leave, which burn bright in the memory long after we've finished playing." Resonant is up against Forza Horizon 6, SAROS, Phonopolis, Orbitals, and Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy.

Another standout for the game was Zoe De Vera, portrayed by the brilliant Frankie Kevich. "Our Best Supporting Performer award recognises the talented actors who delivered emphatic supporting roles in video games over the past 12 months," describe the ceremony organisers. Kevich's portrayal brings the character to life, from her cautious, slightly antagonistic start to her becoming Dylan's closest confidante. Paired with great writing, Kevich's delivery and emotion made Zoe an instant community favourite. For the category, she is up against Troy Baker (Nathaniel Essex, Marvel's Wolverine), Vic Michaelis (Runa Blask, Star Wars Zero Company), Lennie James (John Greenway), Terry O'Quinn (Richard, Silent Hill Townfall), and Grace Saif (Diana, PRAGMATA).

The Accolades Trailer combines gameplay footage with player and media feedback, perfect for persuading those extra friends to join in the fight. Looking at the overwhelming reception, it's perhaps no surprise that just over a week after its launch, the title is also up for two Golden Joystick Awards.

A quick warning to parautilitarians still in the early stages of the game! If you haven't completed the "Plan of Attack" quest yet, you may want to come back to this trailer later. While brief, there's a potential spoiler that you might want to avoid. 

CONTROL Resonant launched on September 24th for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. A physical edition of the game is set to be released on October 15th.
