Remedy Entertainment has shared new details about the commercial prospects of Control Resonant. According to the company's financial report for the first half of 2026, the upcoming action game has already been wishlisted by over 1.5 million users across all platforms.
Remedy also noted "healthy momentum" after pre-orders opened in June. Control Resonant is currently among the top three most pre-ordered games on the PlayStation Store in the US, Brazil, and Germany. This is especially important for the PS5 version of the game: purchasers of the Deluxe Edition will get access to play 48 hours before the official release.
However, Remedy did not directly compare Control Resonant's pre-order figures to Alan Wake 2 or the first Control. Nevertheless, the company's analytics show that the game is "performing well compared to comparable projects."
Remedy expects that additional marketing momentum before release will help the game achieve an even stronger start. The company is also confident in the chosen release date, despite the initial high competition in September. According to the developers, the release window has become "a little less busy": specifically, Onimusha: Way of the Sword received an earlier release date, and Phantom Blade Zero was postponed to late October.
Remedy believes that Control Resonant's originality and quality will help it stand out from competitors. The studio's main priority remains to release the highest quality game possible, and the chosen release date should contribute to this.
