For me, Control Resonant was the best reveal at The Game Awards 2025. It had just enough world-building, narrative hooks, and gameplay to sell me on a sequel. It also featured drastically different combat compared to the predecessor, and we now know a bit more about its world structure.

The reveal trailer for Control Resonant showcased larger urban combat arenas in Manhattan, unlike the corridors and hallways of the Oldest House. Many assumed this scale would translate into an open world, but that isnβt the case.
