Control: Failsafe is slated as a major 2026 title on PlayStation 5. The development team, including lead level designer Anne-Marie Grönroos, art director Elmeri Raitanen, and lead game designer Sergey Mohov, discussed the inspirations behind the game's character and environmental art direction.
Unlike typical superhero power fantasies, Remedy intentionally gave the protagonist Dylan a sense of clumsiness and weight. According to Elmeri and Sergey, actions like using levitation or changing gravity take a real toll on Dylan, causing him to stumble or get disoriented, which helps players connect with him on a human level alongside his desire for interpersonal relationships.
Transitioning from the enclosed brutalist spaces of the first game to a ruined, open-world Manhattan posed a unique challenge. To maintain contrast and keep supernatural elements striking, Remedy established a normal baseline at the center of the world, featuring a cinematic, retro version of New York that even retains phone booths, which were removed in reality by 2022.
The PS5 hardware allowed Remedy to build the largest game in the studio's history, featuring a single area that reportedly exceeds the size of any previous game region. Furthermore, the game makes extensive use of the DualSense controller, utilizing adaptive triggers and the built-in speaker to give abilities physical feedback and tactile resistance during combat.
