CONTROL Resonant Trailers in Order

The latest major CONTROL Resonant trailer is “Altered State,” shown during Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 25, 2026; it combines new Manhattan, enemy, Aberrant, and boss footage with The Prodigy's “Omen.” Players looking for a system explanation should start with the February gameplay reveal, while the June story trailer is the clearest source for Dylan and Jesse's premise. Remedy's “Take CONTROL” trailer is the strongest high-traffic official English YouTube result checked for this guide.

Trailers can confirm characters, named mechanics, platforms, and the intended shape of combat, but editing cannot prove a complete boss roster or final balance. This page puts the major videos in order and extracts only repeatable search topics from them. It does not convert a two-second shot into a walkthrough claim.

Announcement Trailer at The Game Awards

Remedy revealed CONTROL Resonant at The Game Awards in December 2025. The announcement established Dylan Faden as the playable protagonist, the Aberrant as his transforming melee weapon, and a warped Manhattan as the sequel's expanded setting. It also gave the initial 2026 launch window without the later September date.

The useful search terms from this video are CONTROL Resonant announcement trailer, Dylan Faden, Aberrant, and Manhattan. Those topics describe confirmed subjects instead of guessing at unnamed enemies. Later videos provide better evidence for detailed combat questions.

February gameplay trailer

The February State of Play footage is the best starting point for CONTROL Resonant gameplay trailer searches. Remedy's accompanying explanation names large distinct zones, the West Incursion Zone, Gravity Anomalies, Reach, Shift, and demonstrated Aberrant forms including Hammer, Blades, Scythe, and Fists. It also identifies Zoe De Vera as Dylan's FBC handler.

The footage proves the intended flow between movement, melee, abilities, and environmental traversal. It does not publish every form, input, Talent, Artifact, or damage value. The gameplay guide separates the named mechanics from interpretation of the edited sequence.

June story and release-date trailer

The June State of Play trailer moved the marketing focus toward Dylan's search for missing Jesse Faden. It confirmed the September 24 release for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC, while Remedy's launch announcement clarified GeForce NOW and later Mac availability. PlayStation also outlined its edition and early-access details.

Use this video for CONTROL Resonant story trailer, release date, Dylan Faden, and Jesse Faden intent. It is not proof that Jesse is playable; Remedy explicitly identifies Dylan as the sole playable protagonist. The story guide keeps that distinction visible.

Take CONTROL trailer at PC Gaming Show

Remedy published “CONTROL Resonant - Take CONTROL Trailer” for the PC Gaming Show on June 7. Its official English YouTube upload had more than 76,000 views and 5,000 likes when checked on September 1, making it the clearest high-traffic official video in the sampled search results. Those numbers are a dated discovery signal, not a permanent popularity ranking.

The title itself is branded rather than fully descriptive, so the useful extracted keywords come from its content and description: CONTROL Resonant gameplay, Aberrant, Hiss, Dylan Faden, Jesse Faden, Manhattan, and September 24. A guide page should use those established player terms instead of copying the slogan as its only searchable phrase. The video works well as a short overview before reading a system page.

Altered State trailer at Gamescom 2026

“Altered State” debuted during Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 25, with Remedy's regional press release dated August 26. The trailer uses The Prodigy's “Omen” and shows a broader montage of paranaturally altered Manhattan, enemy factions, Aberrant combat, large threats, and boss-scale encounters. Gamescom's official pages also describe CONTROL Resonant as present at Hall 6.

The primary extracted intents are CONTROL Resonant Gamescom, Altered State trailer, CONTROL Resonant bosses, Manhattan zones, and Aberrant forms. Rapid cuts still cannot establish final boss names, phases, or unlock order. The boss guide deliberately waits for release-build evidence before turning these scenes into strategies.

Which trailer should you watch first?

Watch the February gameplay reveal if your question is how combat and traversal work. Watch the June story trailer if you care most about Dylan, Jesse, Zoe, and the release premise, then use Take CONTROL for a shorter combined summary. Watch Altered State last for the broadest pre-launch visual showcase.

Players avoiding story footage can safely use the written system requirements, editions, and New Game Plus pages instead. Those answers do not require watching narrative scenes. Trailer order is a viewing recommendation, not a chronological story order.

What the videos confirm

Across the official material, the stable facts are Dylan's protagonist role, Jesse's disappearance, Zoe's handler role, the transforming Aberrant, supernatural Combat Abilities, large distinct Manhattan zones, World Quests, Gravity Anomalies, Resonant bosses, and the September 24 launch. Later written features add Talents, Artifacts, the Gap, executions, and New Game Plus carry-over. These topics support useful standalone guides.

The videos also show the intended tone and visual scale better than text can. They do not reveal the complete route, full enemy list, exact graphics settings, or final performance. Written official specifications remain stronger evidence for those questions.

What trailers cannot prove

Trailer footage is selected, edited, and often captured from a development build. It cannot prove that a visible move keeps the same name, damage, cost, or unlock condition at launch, and it may combine scenes that occur hours apart. A preview caption can also use tentative terminology.

For that reason, this wiki labels form names and bosses according to source confidence. It will not publish an “all collectibles” map from background frames or a “best build” from a montage. Release-build menus and repeated testing will replace uncertainty after September 24.

This mapping merges synonyms around one player intent instead of creating a page for every official upload title. It also keeps gameplay, story, boss, and release questions mutually distinct. New video keywords will be added only when a trailer reveals enough information to change an existing answer.
