Anticipation is building within the gaming community following the discovery of a new trademark filing for "Control Resonant." This development has led many to believe that Remedy Entertainment might be preparing a significant announcement, possibly at the upcoming Game Awards. This speculation arises in the wake of CD Projekt's confirmation that its highly anticipated 'The Witcher 4' will not be making an appearance at the event, leaving a void that fans hope Remedy will fill with an exciting reveal.
The trademark application for "Control Resonant" was submitted by Nordia Law, a legal firm known for its close collaboration with Remedy Entertainment. Nordia Law has previously provided legal counsel to Remedy for crucial negotiations, including the publishing agreement for "Control 2" with 505 Games, and has also facilitated financing deals with prominent industry players such as Tencent and Annapurna. This established relationship between the law firm and the game developer lends considerable weight to the speculation that "Control Resonant" is indeed connected to Remedy's future plans.
It is widely known that a sequel to the critically acclaimed game "Control" is currently in development, a fact Remedy itself confirmed in 2022. However, whether "Control Resonant" refers directly to this sequel remains an open question. The trademark filing is notably comprehensive, encompassing a wide array of categories from "computer gaming software" to various forms of "printed matter" like books and magazines, as well as television programs, films, music, and even apparel. Such a broad scope suggests that "Control Resonant" could represent more than just a new video game; it might signify a broader multimedia initiative. This possibility is further supported by Remedy's existing agreement with Annapurna, which grants the latter the rights to adapt "Control" and "Alan Wake" into television and film productions.
The timing of this trademark registration has particularly caught the attention of fans and industry observers, who are now eagerly anticipating some form of official communication or a grand reveal at The Game Awards, which is scheduled to take place in just a few weeks. Remedy Entertainment has a history of utilizing this prestigious event for major announcements. For instance, the studio unveiled "Alan Wake 2" at The Game Awards in 2021, and a couple of years later, they returned to the show with a memorable live musical performance by Sam Lake's fictional garage band, further solidifying the event as a key platform for their reveals.
The upcoming Game Awards 2025, set to commence at 4:30 pm PT/7:30 pm ET on December 11, is poised to be a pivotal moment. Whether "Control Resonant" translates into a new game, a multimedia project, or simply a new marketing campaign, the event promises to bring clarity to the mounting speculation surrounding Remedy Entertainment's next big move. The mystery surrounding this trademark continues to fuel excitement, as fans eagerly await official confirmation and details about what "Control Resonant" truly entails for the future of the Remedyverse.
