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.
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…)."

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.
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.
