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.
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!
Said in Steam announcement: The CONTROL Resonant Launch Trailer Is Here The Altered State trailer further down credits a different song, so the two are easy to mix up.
Recap, cast and gameplay
Whether you need the recap at all is answered on play Control first?, and the studio's post for it is on Steam. Posted as Steam announcement: Previously on CONTROL The cast video pairs with the spoiler-free premise. The gameplay reveal is where the Aberrant's shapeshifting is shown; the forms are listed on Aberrant weapon forms. Described in Steam announcement: First CONTROL Resonant gameplay revealed
