In an interview with Insider Gaming, Art Director Elmeri Raitanen said that choosing Dylan Faden as the main character was “the plan from the beginning.” According to him, players have already become acquainted with one side of the Faden family story through Jesse, and now the studio wants to show another.
Raitanen does not hide that Remedy has long-term plans for the project. The developer stated that the team hopes for the game's success, “so that even more stories can be told in the Control universe.”
Judging by the studio representative's words, Control Resonant is seen as an important step in the franchise's development, not just another sequel. The project's success is also important for Remedy itself, which has faced a number of difficulties in recent years.
If the game meets the expectations of the studio and the audience, the story of Jesse and Dylan Faden could be just the beginning of a much larger narrative.
