At Gamescom, Remedy gave attendees the opportunity to be among the first to try out CONTROL Resonant. While balancing their first-ever playable public demo and a community gathering on Friday evening, the away team also found time to sit down with some of the media in attendance.
This wasn't the same major flow seen during the Summer Games Fest, an event specifically targeted for the press, but with the game in more hands, it presented an opportunity for the developers to talk in more depth about the upcoming game.
During Gamescom and in the weeks following, we saw an array of new articles and interviews. In the hot seat were Sergey Mohov (Lead Gameplay Designer), Miika Huttunen (Senior Communications Manager), Elmeri Raitanen (Art Director), and Arhi Makkonen (Senior Level Designer).
As always, we'll add more articles as they're posted!
