In Remedy Entertainment’s
Control, the player controls (no pun intended) Jesse Faden, the newly appointed director of the Federal Bureau of Control, a clandestine government agency tasked with studying and containing supernatural phenomena. At its core,
Control is a metroidvania that will take place in one, huge, and ever-changing location that hides many dark and mind-boggling secrets.
The creators of
Max Payne and
Quantum Break have revealed that during your playthrough, you will meet the former director of the Bureau, Zachariah Trench, who will be played by James McCaffrey. If you're familiar with Remedy's previous work, you surely know that he played the titular hero in the
Max Payne series, even the controversial Rockstar's take on the character that was released in 2012.
IGN has released a brand new trailer for
Control that focuses on the aforementioned Bureau. According to Remedy, this Oldest House is a forgotten Brutalist building that features gates to alternate time-lines and dimensions. The term Brutalist actually refers to harsh, blocky style of architecture that was popular in the 1960s. Be sure to take a bizarre tour of
Control's physics-bending skyscraper below:
After a secretive agency in New York is invaded by an otherworldly threat, you become the new Director struggling to regain Control. This supernatural third-person action-adventure game will challenge you to master a combination of supernatural abilities, modifiable loadouts and reactive environments, while fighting through a deep and unpredictable world.
Control is coming to PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One in 2019.
