Back in 2016, Remedy Entertainment officially ended the studio's long-standing partnership with Microsoft to bring their games to the market with 505 Games. The first project that will use this new business opportunity is
Control, a project we've been hearing since 2017, when Remedy announced that their new game will run on a new engine, Northlight, and will introduce players to a new universe.
Control's protagonist is named Jesse Faden. She's the director of the Federal Bureau of Control, a clandestine government agency tasked with studying and containing supernatural phenomena.
Control will take place only in one, huge and ever-changing location that hides many secrets. According to Creative Director and the face of every single Remedy's game Sam Lake, Metroidvania is a good description of the title
.
The Access PlayStation crew had a chance to chat with Vida Staercevic, associate community manager at Remedy, and check out
Control's current build at New York Comic Con. The recorded footage features a battle with bizzare boss who uses the power of gravity to hure our brave protagonist.
Control looks like a very engaging title and here's hope that the lack of multiplayer won't hurt the title.
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.
