Control Resonant has finally been released worldwide, and as the highly anticipated sequel to 2019's Control, it is guaranteed to be on gamer's radars this weekend. Developed by Remedy Entertainment, it follows the story of Dylan Faden, a paranaturally abled "parautilitarian" and the sister of Control's protagonist, Jesse. Now with Dylan having to search for Jesse, he must battle an army of hostile entities all whilst getting to grips with his reality-bending abilities in a warped take on Manhattan. Released on 24 September, Control Resonant already sits at a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam, and with Control still being regarded as one of the most intriguing titles in recent history, it is no wonder that its sequel has a lot to live up to. Here at Screen Rant, we awarded Control Resonant with an impressive 9/10 in our review, sharing: Again, like the first game, the highs more than make up for the lows. Combat is varied but not exceptionally deep, and its open-zone design regularly feels overly familiar, especially when you step into the twentieth permutation of the same coffee shop, but the overall experience is so finely woven that the sheer artistry is undeniable... For all its ambition, Control Resonant is still a carefully tailored game. Some of the broader strokes fall short, but its most memorable set pieces resonate singularly and fittingly. Remedy Entertainment's single-player titles have become synonymous with quality, and all Control Resonant asks is that you let it take you along for the ride. Now, to celebrate the launch of Control Resonant, players can get their hands on a free cosmetic for Dylan himself. Shared over on the r/controlgame Reddit page, the skin can be acquired by simply heading to Options > Gameplay and then entering the code EV172-LN211-PL279. The cosmetic offers a unique spin on Dylan's base outfit, and will definitely allow you to switch things up throughout the game, much like what was available for Jesse in its predecessor. Luckily, although this free skin is marketed as a “Chinese community exclusive”, reports suggest that it can still be downloaded globally, so do not be put off by this. As one comment read, "First, thank you so much, bro. Second, why don’t they talk about these? Thank god for this community, otherwise we wouldn’t have known about half of these." Additionally, as further comments point out, this skin (and any other skins you have acquired) can be equipped once fighting Control Resonant's first boss, and furthermore, players can get their hands on a free hat and a pair of goggles by signing up to the Control newsletter. There is no doubt that further exclusive skins for Control Resonant will be discovered as more people immerse themselves in the game, but for now, make sure not to miss out on this brand-new discovery.
