A new trademark for “Control: Resonant” has been filed in the European Union, fueling widespread speculation among gamers that Remedy Entertainment may be preparing a major announcement at The Game Awards on December 11, 2025. The trademark was first spotted by MP1st and covers a wide range of areas, including video game services and software, various merchandise, and the production of entertainment such as TV shows and films. This suggests it could be used for gaming, marketing tie-ins, or even live-action adaptations. It was filed through Nordia Attorneys at Law, the same Finnish law firm that has handled all of Remedy’s previous trademarks, which strongly ties the filing to the studio, even though the applicant’s details are hidden.
Remedy, the studio behind games like Alan Wake and the original Control from 2019, announced Control 2 in 2022. The single-player action-adventure sequel is set in the same supernatural universe and entered full production earlier in 2025, with a projected release in 2027. This makes “Control: Resonant” a likely subtitle or even the full title for the highly anticipated game. It could also connect to Remedy’s ongoing collaboration with Annapurna Pictures, separate from Annapurna Interactive, to adapt both the Control and Alan Wake franchises into films and TV series, a project revealed in 2024. The timing of the trademark filing, just two weeks before The Game Awards, has sparked fan speculation about a teaser trailer, first look, or full reveal. This could reignite excitement for the franchise, especially after the lukewarm reception of Remedy’s recent multiplayer spin-off, FBC: Firebreak. While Remedy has not officially confirmed anything, all these factors make this one of the most talked-about rumors leading into the event.
