Today, Remedy announced that they will be bringing CONTROL Resonant to gamescom next month, with a playable demo lined up and a community meet-up scheduled!
For 2026, Gamescom will be returning to Koelnmesse between August 26th and 30th. The five-day event is one of the biggest dates on the video games calendar, with studios showcasing their upcoming adventures, revealing new projects and providing players with exclusive hands-on demos of their next big thing. While the event is always a great time for attendees, you don't need to travel to Cologne to be part of the action, as a big part of Gamescom also takes place in online spaces. Kicking off the festivities is the Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 livestreamed via Twitch and YouTube on August 25th at 8pm CEST / 7pm BST / 9pm EEST.
But for those who attend, there will be plenty of Remedy goodness...
So far, CONTROL Resonant has only been available to play behind closed doors at press events, but that's soon to change! The game will have a playable demo on the show floor in Hall 6, Level Infinite Booth. You will be able to check out the game at any time throughout the show.
While a ticket to the event is required to access the showfloor, the community event will be open to all. On the subject of the gathering, the studio has posted, "Join us on August 28 in Cologne, Germany, and meet CONTROL Resonant team members and other Remedy fans, all while enjoying some delicious snacks and drinks! Sign up for the community event will open soon. Note that the event is for people aged 18 and up." We'll keep you updated for when registration goes live!
