Remedy Just Trademarked Control: Resonant - Is Control 2 Happening?

Remedy has quietly filed a trademark for Control: Resonant. That's got fans buzzing - could this be the name for the next Control game, a DLC drop, or maybe even a supernatural series on screen? With tags that cover and entertainment, the possibilities are wide open. And with The Game Awards less than two weeks away, things could get interesting.

What the trademark actually tells us

The filing for Control: Resonant went through a legal firm that always handles Remedy’s trademarks. That alone makes it more than just a placeholder.

• Filed in Finland (Remedy’s home base).
• Registered under categories covering “computer gaming software” and broader digital entertainment.
• That means it could refer to a game — but also a movie, TV show, or even merchandise.

So we’re not looking at a mistake or a leak — this is planned, and probably big.

Possibility 1: The next Control game

A likely bet: Control: Resonant is the official name for the sequel that’s been in the works. Here’s why that makes sense:

• Remedy previously confirmed they’re working on Control 2 (in full production). =
• The “Resonant” subtitle fits the eerie, reality-bending vibe of the original game.
• The trademark categories align with video game software, meaning a new game release is probable.

If this is Control 2 reborn with a subtitle, it might carry forward storylines from the first game — or take us into a darker, more ambitious chapter.

Possibility 2: Not a game — maybe TV, film or DLC

But maybe it’s not a full game at all. The broad trademark filing leaves room for other kinds of releases.

• The categories also include “digital entertainment” beyond games.
• Recall: Remedy signed a deal with Annapurna Interactive to adapt its franchises (like Control and Alan Wake) into film or TV.
• Could be a DLC expansion for Control or a teaser name for an upcoming TV/film project in the same universe.

In short, “Resonant” might be more than a game — or something to tide fans over till the next big release.

Why there’s a good chance we learn more soon

With all signs pointing to ongoing projects at Remedy — and a major gaming awards show less than two weeks away — now feels like the sweet spot to drop a reveal.

• The Game Awards on 11 Dec often hosts world premieres and big announcements.
• Given Remedy’s past track record, they’re comfortable making dramatic reveals at big events.
• Whether it’s a game, DLC, or TV/film adaptation — fans are already speculating, which adds hype to any announcement.

What this could mean for ‘us’ (players, fans, creators)

• As a player, if Resonant is a full game — it might push the series to new heights, maybe with RPG elements (as Remedy hinted for Control 2).
• If it’s a TV or film project — that could widen the audience and bring the strange world of Control to more people.
• For creators and local studios in the region (like us in the UAE), hits like this might increase demand for coverage, localisation, and even streaming rights.
