19th September 2026 Ronan Summers Reveals Upcoming CONTROL Resonant Twitch Livestream

With CONTROL Resonant just days away, actor Ronan Summers has announced that he will be kicking off his new Twitch channel with a special playthrough of the game. 

In the Control series, Summers plays Security Chief Simon Arish. In Resonant, the developers have teased how the weight and guilt over his role have toughened out his character since lockdown was first implemented seven years ago. While welcoming Jesse, Arish's attitude toward Dylan is far more antagonistic and suspicious.

Sharing the news in a video on social media, Summers introduces the new Twitch channel, declaring, "Stop what you are doing. Do not scroll any further. My name is Ronan Summers, and even though you might not know my name, you've probably been listening to my voice in some of your favourite games for, like,  the last fifteen/twenty years. We are talking the entire Forza Horizon series, Battlefield, Dead Island 2, Cyberpunk 2077, League of Legends, Control, and of course, CONTROL Resonant, which drops on September 24. So make sure you pre-order that now. Now, I have been going absolutely crazy about CONTROL Resonant on my socials in general recently, which has led to a phenomenal development."

He continues, "I have somehow managed to get my hands on an actual legit sponsor who is going to hook me up with top-of-the-line PC gear, which is going to allow me to play through my entire back catalogue of games from way back when to right up to now, starting with the very exciting launch of CONTROL Resonant. I've got my game key. They're coming over to put the stuff in my house very soon. We've got tons of cool plans for the channel. We're going to have guests coming in and playing their own games. And I mean famous guests, I've been talking to some people. And we're going to be doing, of course, new drops when I have new games coming out, which I do, very, very often."

At the moment, there isn't a fixed date or time for the livestream, though at the end of the video he encourages viewers to follow him on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitch to be alerted when those initial details are available.

18th September 2026 Embargo Lifts on CONTROL Resonant Reviews

The embargo has officially lifted on CONTROL Resonant reviews! It's a huge day for the studio and an exciting one for the community, as we get our first opportunity, ahead of next week's launch, to see how the adventure performs.

Now, it's likely that if you're visiting this site, you've already decided whether to buy a long time ago, regardless of reviews. We are those kinds of nerds. Still, a strong early reception is a strong indicator of the game's overall reception and future success. And as AAA titles come with a fairly hefty price, reviews can be enough to nudge it further up the priority list.

The lower-than-usual price tag for Resonant will definitely help with that, especially alongside that strong 84 Metacritic score! 

As a developer, this can also be the most nerve-wracking day. You've been working on the project for years, and it can be tied to many complex emotions. I know some devs who absolutely avoid early reviews, and others who eagerly seek them out. However, you're marking today, congratulations to the amazing dev team behind the project! 

Below are some of the reviews that we found online. As always, this list will be added to over the next few days...

16th September 2026 Control Joins Critical Role in Special One Shot Campaign

Critical Role will be getting a CONTROL-themed twist on September 22nd, with a special one-shot created to mark the upcoming release of Resonant.

The one-shot will feature Marisha Ray, Travis Willingham, Sam Riegel, alongside Dylan Faden himself, Sean Durrie. Stepping up to the role of Game Master is Zachery Renauldo, who will be debuting his mastery skills for the channel with this standalone adventure. Viewers can expect a fresh experience, created specially for the scenario, and sponsored by Remedy Entertainment.

Perhaps best known for their elaborate and long-running campaigns, Critical Role has also done dozens of one-shots over the years. While details on the upcoming Control livestream are limited, previous recordings have lasted between two and five hours. So, make sure to buy your coffee in bulk before Tuesday.

With 2.8m subscribers on YouTube, Critical Role is perhaps the most established roleplaying game channels online. It started back in 2012 as a way of uniting friends and has evolved into something much bigger, branching out into various campaigns and beyond the channel. Their stories have transformed into an animated series and comic books, and have helped raise money for the Critical Role Foundation, a charity organisation that supports international charities. 

Check out the Critical Role x Control one-shot on September 22nd at 7pm Pacific on YouTube or Twitch!
