We're a little behind on the news, as it's been a difficult past few days. Unfortunately, our little cat passed away this week. Scratch was deeply loved and endlessly bothered with affection. We talked about her on the site, and she was our writing buddy over the past 13 years.

Reasons why Control's Dylan Faden might be three cats in grey PJs: - stares into the distance - violence as a little treat - converses with the demons - multple names - has probably bitten a medical professional - causes chaos - followed by a long nap - always found in a box.

Situated in Manhattan, The Oldest House is the home of the FBC. Following The Hiss invasion, it has been in lockdown, as the bureau attempts to deal with the threat internally. Despite being a soaring skyscraper, the building remains unnoticeable to the ordinary passerby.

Remedy has released the first development diary for CONTROL Resonant. The nine-minute behind-the-scenes look explores how the adventure complements its predecessor, while bringing in something new to the mix. 📽️ Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfoW... 📃 Transcript: www.alanwake.info/2026/03/6th-...

This week, the embargo was lifted on a new behind-closed-doors look at CONTROL Resonant's gameplay. We've put together a list of all the analyses in one neat blog post. Check out our media wrap-up at www.alanwake.info/2026/03/4th-... #CONTROLResonant #ControlRemedy

The Hiss is a hostile paranatural resonance that escaped from an alternative dimension, Slidescape-36. The FBC's only protection is the HRAs (Hedron Resonance Amplifiers), which counteract the Hiss resonance. While fighting continues, the threat has so far been contained within The Oldest House.

Essentially the boss's boss, The Board is a mysterious and powerful entity that resides in the Astral Plane. They dictate who becomes Director of the FBC; a role which allows the occupant to wield the otherworldly Service Weapon, but who also works under the strict and critical eye(s?) of The Board.

Objects of Power are Altered Items that are connected to the Astral Plane. They can be bound to a paraultiliarian, for instance, Jesse's Service Weapon, the Directoral Hotline (below), or Dylan's Aberrant. Bounding an OoP can help that individual wield the item's power.

Check out the first glimpse of CONTROL Resonant gameplay, showcased during PlayStation's State of Play. The snippet features clips of an early mission and early power, with a voice-over by Mikael Kasurinen (Creative Director). 📽️ Watch at www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA71...

Four months after announcing their search, Remedy has officially revealed that Jean-Charles Gaudechon will be its new CEO, effective March 1st. ◾️ More: www.alanwake.info/2026/02/9th-...

Altered World Events are cases in which paranatural forces have impacted our reality, changing it in unpredictable and dangerous ways. The events of Alan Wake (2010) are classed by the FBC as the Bright Falls AWE. Find an AWE, and they may have an Object of Power or Altered Item.

Both Dylan's and Jesse's lives were impacted greatly following the Altered World Event in their home of Ordinary. As kids, the two discovered a slideshow projector which acted as a portal into other dimensions. Following a tragedy, Dylan was taken in by the FBC. Jesse escaped.

An alternate story with a different ending #AlanWake #Control @remedygames.com #Fanart

Jesse Faden, Dylan's older sister and the now-missing Director of the FBC. A powerful parautilitarian, Jesse was assigned the role by The Board after being led to the FBC by a familiar telepathic resonance-based entity called Polaris. She had been searching for Dylan for years.
