Last week, 505Games were at EGX, the UK's largest game convention, showcasing four fantastic games on the showfloor; Horace, Indivisible, Journey to the Savage Planet and, of course, Control at the PlayStation booth.
Across the long weekend, giveaways were held on the ControlRemedy Twitter channel with prizes presented to attendees at the show by the publisher's Global Senior Brand Community Manager, Antonela Pounder. Giveaways included Control merchandise ranging from tote bags to branded t-shirts and even PS4 dynamic themes.
While the game has been out for a short while, its lead has also already attracted cosplayers with Sarah Kendall, fellow Control fan and friend of Antonela, donning Jesse's leather jacket and thick woollen socks to portray Jesse on the showfloor.
Below are a number of tweets posted throughout the event of the booth, of Sarah's brilliant cosplay, of giveaway winners, and the venue itself:

Home from #EGX and holy pogo stick, I'm exhausted, but what a day. Had such an overwhelmingly positive response to this cosplay and it's been SO MUCH FUN. At Comic Con a week from tomorrow, bring it!

I hadn't managed to get round to playing #Control from @remedygames @505_Games yet but thankfully it's at #EGX2019! I seriously could have played it for the rest of the day! So surreal & the lighting & effects were mind- blowing, loved it! @GamePittReviews pic.twitter.com/BYeIQ0jCOo— Shaun Sannerude (@rudecold) October 20, 2019
