Every official CONTROL Resonant trailer and what it is for

Remedy's own channel holds the launch trailer, a story recap, a video with the cast, the first gameplay reveal and a few more. The launch trailer comes first because it was made for the release. Each video below says what it is for, so you can pick the one that answers your question.

CONTROL Resonant - Launch TrailerRemedy Entertainment · 1:24The trailer made for the release, set to a song the studio names in its Steam post.

The song in the launch trailer

The studio's Steam post for the trailer credits the music this way:

Watch the Launch Trailer, featuring ‘My Favourite Game’ by The Cardigans!

The Altered State trailer further down credits a different song, so the two are easy to mix up.

The studio's channel also carries the Paranatural Manhattan Trailer and a story trailer. YouTube age-restricts them, so this page does not embed them: the player would stop at a sign-in wall.

Videos that look official and are on other channels

Three videos the studio linked from its Steam posts were not uploaded by Remedy. Do not confuse them with the studio's own uploads above.

  • Making of the Aberrant Hammer. A metalworking team recreates the weapon in steel, and the video is on the channel AWE me.
  • The PC Gaming Show trailer and developer interview. It is uploaded to the PC Gamer channel, and it is a different video from the studio's own documentary in the table above.
  • NVIDIA's DLSS 4.5 and path tracing video. It sits on the NVIDIA GeForce channel. For what the studio itself lists for PC, see system requirements.
