A possible trademark registration from Remedy may hint at a new Control project. Furthermore, its timing is coincidentally near The Game Awards, set to go live on December 11th.
The Control series is a fairly new series, starting in 2019. The first sci-fi mind-bending title follows new Director, Jesse Faden, as she travels the mysterious Oldest House. When it was released, Remedy Entertainment and the game were praised immensely, receiving multiple year-end awards and nominations. While not a direct sequel, the multiplayer FBC: Firebreak does take place in the Oldest House and ties into Control. The series is connected to the wider world of Remedy, including Alan Wake and its sequels’ DLC. However, a new trademark may hint at an even bigger expansion to the universe if done by Remedy.
A New Control Project May Be In The Works at Remedy, Trademark Hints
First spotted by MP1st, but found on the European Union Intellectual Property Office website by Insider Gaming, the title “CONTROL Resonant” has been filed for trademark. In addition, it’s been done by Nordia Attorneys at Law LTD. Interestingly enough, Remedy Entertainment uses those lawyers, making it seem like this is, indeed, a new Control title.
However, it’s important to note that Remedy has not announced a new title or project for Control, so take it with a grain of salt for the time being. As to what it could be, there are a few different ways. The most obvious is a sequel to the 2019 original, possibly continuing Jesse Faden’s narrative. However, Remedy has stated that it’s been exploring film and TV, so maybe Control: Resonant is a TV series.
Of course, the timing is rather convenient, as The Game Awards 2025 are just around the corner on December 11th. Remedy is no stranger to the Geoff Keighley-hosted show, as Alan Wake 2 and Control had huge presences there, both as nominees/winners and reveals. Sam Lake, the face of the studio, is a frequent presenter at the awards, and it wouldn’t be surprising if the company decides to reveal Control Resonant, if true. Either way, it’s more Control, and fans are sure to enjoy that.
