He will be the “sole playable character,” Remedy’s Mikael Kasurinen says in a blog post, but his sister Jesse, who was the protagonist of Control, also “shapes the path” in Resonant.”In Resonant, we go further into the Fadens’ complicated past. Their lives have been anything but easy, and the cost of what they carry is about to come due,” writes Kasurinen. “What lies ahead will push them further than either has gone before.”The game will be available for preorder today. If you preorder the Digital Deluxe Edition of the game, you’ll get 48-hour early access to play and other goodies like a digital artbook and the game’s soundtrack.Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Jay Peters
