- Control Resonant lead gameplay designer Sergey Mohov isn’t worried about launching the game close to GTA 6

- Mohov explains that “It’s not really been a big consideration for us”
Remedy Entertainment isn’t worried about launching Control Resonant so close to Grand Theft Auto 6.
GTA 6 is the most anticipated game of the year, if not of all time, and is on track to earn over $5 billion by the end of its launch week, so it’s understandable if some studios want to avoid releasing their games so close to its launch for fear of being overshadowed.
After Rockstar Games formally announced that its game will arrive on November 19, Playground Games delayed Fable to February 2027 “so it can have the dedicated moment it deserves.”

However, games like Marvel’s Wolverine and Phantom Blade Zero are still locked in for their Fall releases, so not every studio is worried about competing with GTA 6 or is happy with the amount of breathing room they do have, at least.
Speaking in an interview with TechRadar Gaming about the upcoming release of Control Resonant, lead gameplay designer Sergey Mohov explained that he’s looking forward to GTA 6 like everybody else, but doesn’t think the game’s launch affects Remedy “at all.”
“Honestly, first of all, personally, I’m looking forward to GTA as much as everybody else,” he said. “I’m a fan of [GTA] Vice City. But I don’t think it’s affected us at all, to be honest.”
Control Resonant launches on September 24, which is eight weeks before GTA 6, so the Rockstar game shouldn’t overshadow the former, and Mohov explained that Remedy’s release date has been “locked in for a while.”
“We expect it to be a very complete experience on day one when it comes out,” he said. “We’ve been planning to release this game in September, for as long as I can remember. It’s not really been a big consideration for us.”
He added, “Obviously, this is a really exciting year to be a gamer. We’re gonna be playing all of these [games] same as everybody else, but hopefully, you pick up, and your readers pick up Control Resonant as well.”
Control Resonant will be available for PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC.
