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…)."
