Remedy and Sam Lake Teasing DLC for Control Resonant That Will Release in 2027

As is well known, Remedy Entertainment likes to include hints in its games about sequels to the stories told in those very projects. For example, Control once received a DLC that brought back Alan Wake, and Alan Wake II was given a DLC featuring a cameo by Dylan—the main character of Control: Resonant. Perhaps the studio is already hinting at the DLC that their new project will receive next year.

It all comes down to a post by Sam Lake, creative director at Remedy, which he shared on social media. In the photo, he is pictured as a junior research assistant at FBC, one of the most important organizations in the Control Resonant lore. Interestingly, fans noticed that his “issue date” is listed as 2027; as a result, they believe this is a tease that Control Resonant will get a DLC next year. The text in the post below also hints at this.

I think I found an Object of Power that has breached its containment in the panopticon. I can’t reach my supervisor. The OOP is compelling me to play the game. I can’t resist much longer. Please send help. Please.

Perhaps Sam Lake will lend his likeness to one of the FBC employees; he has done so before—in the first Max Payne game and Alan Wake II. Speaking of Max Payne, as you know, Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake is currently in development, with Remedy developing it in cooperation with Rockstar Games. Sam Lake recently posted a photo that strongly resembles the style of the upcoming remake. Perhaps this was a hint that the game will finally be revealed soon—maybe even at The Game Awards 2026, which will take place next month.

Returning to Control Resonant, Remedy also confirmed the game will receive a photo mode in December. Meanwhile, a recent financial report confirmed that the game’s release helped the studio’s quarterly revenue nearly triple —by 226%.

Control Resonant is available on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5.
