6th June 2026 Remedy x iam8bit Reveals New CONTROL Resonant Collection [Pre-Orders End July 6th]

Ten years on from their original collaboration, Remedy Entertainment and iam8bit have revealed a new line of CONTROL Resonant merchandise!

Five pieces have been announced to celebrate the upcoming game, with pre-orders now open until July 6th. Out of the five, four are available for worldwide delivery, with restrictions on the fifth due to it being classed as a dangerous contained FBC mold sample... or a food item, you take your pick. 

While preorders are set to close next month, there's already an estimated window for the parcels to reach doorsteps, with Q4 2026 set as the current target. 

The collaboration is the second in recent years, following iam8bit's involvement in Remedy's 30th anniversary celebrations. The range was a huge success with items carefully curated from the developer's extensive history. While this latest range is smaller, it's focused on key, in-demand items, allowing strong quality control. 

Below is the full list of items, with their official in-depth iam8bit descriptions:

Control Resonant FBC Coffee Mug
$24.99

Whether you’re auditing expense reports or dealing with a rogue Altered Item, staying fueled is essential to surviving the job at the Federal Bureau of Control. During those long nights at the office, a trusty coffee mug can start to feel more like a stalwart companion. Heck, by the third cup, it might even start to look like your best friend. 

iam8bit and Remedy Entertainment are teaming up once again to bring you a line of incredible collectibles to celebrate CONTROL Resonant, and we just couldn’t resist paying tribute to Remedy’s longtime love affair with a hot cup of joe. This is the CONTROL Resonant: FBC Coffee Mug, a 12 oz premium black mug with a white Federal Bureau of Control Insignia adorning its matte-finished outer wall. 

It comes in lovely (and custom!) CONTROL Resonant packaging that’s so nice, you might be tempted to keep it boxed up on your shelf. We won’t stop you, but don’t forget: It’s ready and waiting for the beverage of your choice, too!

Control Resonant FBC T-Shirt
$34.99

A great mission starts with looking good, feeling good, and being prepared. Incidentally, that’s the start of a great outfit, too. iam8bit and Remedy Entertainment know that better than anybody; we keep it fashionable, functional, and just a little bit funky. Here’s the proof. 

This is the CONTROL Resonant: FBC T-Shirt. Featuring a bold screen printed FBC logo on both the front and back of an ultra-comfy, preshrunk black t-shirt basic, it’s anything but standard issue. The mid weight 5.3 oz 100% cotton material is sure to keep you warm and snug during those long days (and longer nights) out in the field investigating paranatural phenomena. 


Control Resonant FBC Mold Mints with Collectible Tin
$9.99

CONTROL Resonant introduces a number of new threats to Remedy Entertainment's imaginative universe, including the enigmatic and highly invasive micro-organism known simply as “the mold.”

Its sweet, intoxicating aroma invites humans to ingest it, at which point the substance works through their system and takes a firm hold. By then, it’s already too late: The mold has won. Sound appetizing? iam8bit thought so too. That’s why we worked with Remedy Entertainment to bring this cheeky bit of worldbuilding to the real world: The CONTROL Resonant: FBC Mold Mints! These delicious and refreshing mints are indeed edible, so ingest away, dear friend. 

Plus, they come in a commemorative collectible tin, designed as a nod to the fictional Federal Bureau of Control and their auspicious methods of evidence collection. The spacious tin, with its removable lid and compact design, is perfect for storing business cards, spare change, and even….other consumables. You’re creative. You’ll figure it out. 

Control Resonant FBC Agent Hat
$32.99

Any FBC agent will tell you that protecting your head is an important part of the gig. But looking good while you do it — that’s what separates the good agents from the great ones. 

Never fear: iam8bit and Remedy Entertainment are here to level up your field equipment! This is the CONTROL Resonant FBC Agent Hat. Adorned with a woven FBC patch on the front panel, this sturdy adjustable snapback comes in an always-smart shade of government-issued black. It’s cosplay-ready and streetwear-approved, so it’s the perfect subtle signal to other agents (or CONTROL Resonant fans) you might encounter out in the wild. 

Control Resonant FBC Hoodie
$59.99

You know in movies or TV shows or games when the stoic, deep-thinking federal agent needs to clear their head during a long, grueling investigation, so they go for a run wearing some kind of super-cool sweat-wear from their respective investigative government branch? iam8bit knows that scene. So does Remedy Entertainment. That’s why we teamed up to bring you a fashionable CONTROL-flavored variety of that same sweet sweat-wear. 

This is the CONTROL Resonant: FBC Hoodie. With a bold screen printed FBC logo on the front and back of an ultra-comfy, relaxed fit black basic pullover with kangaroo pocket, it’s anything but standard issue. The mid weight 9.4 oz fleece material is sure to keep you warm and snug during your ever-so-cinematic early-morning jogs.

6th June 2026 Remedy Releases Manalan Mailla by Vilma Jää, a New Song for CONTROL Resonant

Since 2010, Remedy has been integrating music into their experiences to add an extra level of depth. While Alan Wake blended licensed music with custom tracks, Alan Wake 2 surprised fans with a beautiful collection of specially crafted pieces. And it looks like CONTROL Resonant is set to continue that wonderful tradition with "Manalan Mailla" by local artist, Vilma Jää.

Coinciding with the release of their Summer Games Fest trailer, Remedy followed up on social media, revealing the song viewers had just gotten a taste of. In their posts, they write, "Manalan Mailla by Finnish ethno-pop artist Vilma Jää is out wherever you find music. Inspired by the Ingrian ensemble runolaulu tradition, you first heard it in our Paranatural Manhattan trailer!"

The song is available now on all music platforms, including Spotify. And similar to Control's Sankarin Tango, the piece is performed in Finnish, the developer's native language.

Plus! If you're interested in an English translation, there's a fan-created video featuring both lyrics. Thank you to LEYLINE for putting in the work to translate it. The video also adds some extra cultural context, stating in its caption, "Manalan Mailla" draws inspiration from Finnish folklore and mythology, particularly Manala, the realm of the dead. The song combines haunting traditional elements with themes of loss, self-discovery, and overcoming darkness."

6th June 2026 Remedy Reveals CONTROL Resonant's Paranatural Manhattan Trailer at Summer Games Fest 2026

At the Summer Games Fest 2026 livestream, Remedy revealed a different side to CONTROL Resonant with their Paranatural Manhattan Trailer.

While previous trailers have explored the game's unusual beauty amid the chaos, this latest teaser focuses on its horror elements. The clips show the broken remains of the Federal Bureau of Control and inhuman, twisted creatures stalking the Manhattan streets. While Dylan is shown battling back the horrors, the threat feels too big to be tackled alone.

The darker edge is further emphasised and perfectly captured in its voice-over. The trailer is narrated by Emily Pope, her voice heavy with a sense of loss and exhaustion, as she reveals the changes over the years,  "It’s been seven years. The Oldest House has... fallen. Our Director... Jesse. Well, she’s... missing. Everything we tried to contain is now loose in the streets of Manhattan. This was caused by a new type of hostile resonance. It’s beyond anything that we can currently measure. Our reality is bent to follow an anomalous pattern, warping time. Gravity. Light. Even the way we think. It’s all quite terrifying... and fascinating. All we can do is dig deeper. Keep searching for the solutions in every way we can. Before it’s too late. This is Emily Pope, acting co-director of the Federal Bureau of Control."

4th June 2026 CONTROL Resonant to Feature at PC Gaming Show 2026

This week is set to be a big one for CONTROL Resonant. Already at State of Play, Remedy revealed its new story trailer and announced that the game will launch on September 24th, but the news wave has just begun. As well as taking part during IGN Live this weekend, the studio will also be in attendance at the PC Gaming Show.

The PC Gaming Show will be airing on Sunday 7th June, at 8 pm BST (10pm EEST). With a preshow starting thirty minutes earlier, hosted by Frankie Ward and Elz. While the CONTROL Resonant coverage is likely to be in the main show, you might want to set a timer for the pre-show juuuust in case. 

For the main event, the hosts are Sean "Day[9]" Plott and Mica Burton, who will kick off the hefty showcase featuring over fifty titles and twenty world premieres. The event's Steam page, prepared in advance for the show, already teases a few adventures to look for, including Total War: WARHAMMER 40,000, Arkheron, Exodus, Beast of Reincarnation, and Rivage, along with other incredible titles. Of course, at the top, there is CONTROL Resonant, with Dylan looking dapper as heck.

Unlike most livestreams, we actually know a little bit about what to expect from Remedy's segment. Both developers and event organisers have revealed on social media that viewers will be treated to new gameplay and a dev interview.

Make sure to mark in your calendar: Sunday 7th June, at 8 pm BST (10pm EEST).
