We want to push the boundaries of what we can do, and we believe after 7 years it\u2019s what you, the fans, deserve.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What we know about the game so far is that you&#8217;re playing as Jesse&#8217;s brother, who was in containment at the Oldest House in the original.<\/p>\n<p>The game also takes place outside the Bureau&#8217;s walls, allowing you to explore the wider city, and will focus on melee combat rather than ranged action in the first game.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, Remedy rarely plays it safe with its games, so we weren&#8217;t exactly expecting that from Resonant. If anything, it sounds like the opposite is true; the studio is aiming high, and coming off the back of the brilliant <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/alan_wake_2\">Alan Wake 2<\/a>, we&#8217;re excited to see what it has in store.<\/p>\n<p>Are you excited for Control Resonant?
