(Espoo, Finland – August 25, 2026) – Today, during gamescom Opening Night Live, Remedy Entertainment unveiled a brand-new "Altered State" trailer for CONTROL Resonant, featuring the track “Omen” by The Prodigy. The highly anticipated sequel to Remedy’s critically acclaimed, multi-award-winning CONTROL puts players in the role of Dylan Faden as he unleashes the full force of the paranatural, tearing through surreal, reality-bending encounters and mastering different forms of the Aberrant to overcome overwhelming enemies and monumental bosses.

For the first time, the public will also be able to play CONTROL Resonant at gamescom, with a playable demo available at the Level Infinite booth in Hall 6.

With fluid movement, stylish combat, powerful executions and a world full of unpredictable threats, “Altered State” offers a taste of the fast, escalating action and gameplay variety awaiting players in CONTROL Resonant. CONTROL Resonant x ZA/UM Atelier Collection

21st August 2026 Remedy To Show New CONTROL Resonant Trailer at Gamescom Opening Night

With a few days to go until Gamescom, Remedy has teased a new CONTROL Resonant trailer set to be shown at Opening Night Live 2026. Take a sigh of relief, Europeans, it's a time-zone-friendly show.

Hosted by Geoff Keighley, Gamescom Opening Night Live will share exclusive first looks at upcoming games. The last time the developers were in attendance, we got a new glimpse of Alan Wake 2, starting a week of frantic writing and a whole lotta news, so get ready. With one month to go before launch, this is likely to be Remedy's final marketing push before the game's launch on September 24th. 

Alongside CONTROL Resonant, viewers will also be able to check out teasers from Tides or Annihilation, The Witcher Wild Hunt, METRO 2039, Gears of War: E-Day, and MEWGENICS.

Mark your calendars for this Tuesday (August 25th) at 111am PT / 2pm ET / 7pm BST (GMT +1) / 8pm CEST / 9pm EEST across the event channels. (Watch HERE or below!)

For Remedy fans attending Gamescom in person, there will be a playable demo of Resonant on the show floor and a sold-out community meet-up on Friday evening.

28th July 2026 Remedy Reveals Playable CONTROL Resonant Demo at gamescom & Community Meet Up

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!
