Control Resonant is a sequel — and also a starting point

Control Resonant is a sequel to the 2019 game Control, but developer Remedy considers the two games to be distinct, like two sides of the same coin. According to creative director Mikael Kasurinen, players can enjoy the games in any order, as the world of Control operates on a non-linear timeline. This approach allows new players to start with Control Resonant without feeling lost, and it wasn't until playing the game that this concept became clear. The game's unique structure is evident in its reality-bending world, where time progression is not strictly linear.
