Well, it's about time! I've been waiting for this news for so long, I forgot I had been waiting for it. Developer Remedy Entertainment, Plc., just unveiled their long awaited new project, called Control, a third-person action-adventure game that combines Remedy’s trademark, badass gunplay with supernatural abilities. Revealed for the first time at the PlayStation E3 media briefing, Control is set in a "unique and ever-changing world that juxtaposes our familiar reality with the strange and unexplainable."
After a secretive agency in New York is invaded by an otherworldly threat, players will take on the role of Jesse Faden, the new Director struggling to regain Control. This sandbox-style title is built on the proprietary Northlight engine and will have players attempting to master a combination of supernatural abilities, modifiable loadouts and reactive environments while fighting through the deep and mysterious worlds Remedy is known for.
“Control represents a new exciting chapter for us, it redefines what a Remedy game is. It shows off our unique ability to build compelling worlds while providing a new player-driven way to experience them,” said Mikael Kasurinen, game director of Control. “A key focus for Remedy has been to provide more agency through gameplay and allow our audience to experience the story of the world at their own pace”
“From our first meetings with Remedy we’ve been inspired by the vision and scope of Control, and we are proud to help them bring this game to life and get it into the hands of players,” said Neil Ralley, president of 505 Games. “We believe this is going to be another major hit for both our companies, on a bigger scale than ever before.”
Control will launch for PS4, Xbox One, and Steam in 2019, in the meantime, check out the trailer or go to their official website to learn more at www.controlgame.com.
