Remedy cuts parry and deflect systems from Control Resonant to keep combat aggressive

Remedy Entertainment has removed both parry and deflect mechanics from Control Resonant after prototyping showed they slowed the pace, with players waiting for enemies to attack. Game director Mikael Kasurinen told IGN the combat philosophy is "offense is the best defense." The game launches 24 September 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Mac.
