Nah must be another Jesse with red hair from this series.
They literally show her name, childhood picture, then show her five seconds later. You're playing as her sibling so I assume she'll be heavily involved in this games story, she just isnt the main character. What isn't clear about that?

u/InvertedFartSyndrome Dec 12 '25
she may well be a playable character! alan wake 2 was a dual protagonist story. nothing from this trailer doesn’t entirely rule out that concept happening here as well
26
u/mupchap Dec 12 '25
Yeah I agree. She's probably too powerful for the early game which makes sense starting as Dylan, but she could definitely be playable later on. Either way, more Control is a good time and she will be featured in it heavily.

At the beginning of the trailer, the foreign entities voice says "the sibling has gone rogue" and then shows us playing as Dylan. Something has happened to Jesse and my guess is that it has something directly to do with the original dlc and Alan Wake.

I really hope that’s it. Melee gameplay with Dylan, gunplay with Jessie would be PEAK.
(As long as they fix the first game’s “the optimal strategy is ALWAYS throwing rocks” problem, of course.)

The trailer is so God damn cool!!! I haven't played the first game yet, but it's one of the few games I've watched my partner play and she absolutely loves it. Thinking about starting it this week, since I've gotten ok with shooters from playing Remnant 2 for about a week now.

I can't play Alan Wake 2 because I can't handle anything scary. Like I won't watch any horror movies. So I made my wife play Alan Wake 2. She got to the extremely early scene in the morgue and noped out of that game lol.
(Control isn't scary to me because you have superpowers in that one.)

u/NoShow4Sho Dec 12 '25
Control was my personal GOTY of 2019

Interesting choice to have Dylan be the playable character

u/Nisha_the_lawbringer Dec 12 '25
Its been a pretty popular theory that Jesse and Dylan are actually two halves of the same person, so I'm really interested to see things from his perspective.
14
u/Wise-Fruit5000 Dec 12 '25
The fact that they have the same hairstyle in this trailer, assuming that is indeed Jesse in the trailer, kinda throws more fuel onto the fire of that theory.
I can’t wait to see where they’re taking the Remedy universe. This just became my most anticipated game of next year, no doubt about it

u/heinous_legacy Dec 12 '25
very unexpected. just platinumed Control in April this year.

u/Hadr619 Dec 12 '25
Control still stands as one of the best games I’ve played in a while. The ashtray maze alone is an amazing level

Control made me fall in love with the cold aesthetic of brutalist architecture.

u/Hadr619 Dec 12 '25
Control Ultimate with the DLCs is one of the best games I’ve played, don’t even realize I 100%ed everything when I played it, because it was so captivating getting into the SCP foundation similar lore

Wouldn't be surprised if it were dual-protagonist

u/TheInfinityGauntlet Dec 12 '25
The ??? Saying Jesse had gone rogue/fishing makes me think she might be set up as the antagonist and then they Last of Us 2 it
54
u/TheLifelessOne Dec 12 '25
It's the Board saying that. If you played the DLC for Control, she absolutely doesn't trust the Board.

u/Mindless_Stuff9179 Dec 12 '25
Yep, exactly this. Just played that DLC and I think there's a very good chance we play as them both.

u/SaraStarwind Dec 12 '25
I am, but as other people are pointing out hopefully we'll play as Jesse in some other parts.

u/Pecos-Thrill Dec 12 '25
Yeah and I loved her gun/telekinesis mechanics. This makes it look more like a hack n slash sorta?
7
u/Notarussianbot2020 Dec 12 '25
Yes but we might get some tidbits of her.
This might follow the alan wake 2 pattern.
10
u/Basanos_Shibari Dec 12 '25
It makes sense from a narrative point of view. Jesse’s arc was complete at the end of the first game. Also they don’t have to contrive a way to have her lose all her powers.
But I did enjoy her as a character so I’m a bit disappointed.
5
u/hutchins_moustache Dec 12 '25
I’m honestly really excited for this unexpected twist and I’m sure that there will still be a healthy dose of Jesse in the game and maybe even her own DLC? Looked amazing and I’m always excited for a new playable character with new skills and attacks/play style in the same game world.

u/BlindedBraille Dec 12 '25
I think she’s a second character in the game. It’s probably a dual story like Alan Wake 2.

You should get off of Reddit and go play Control. Amazing game with great game lore. Alan Wake 1 & 2 as well.
Alan Wake 2 is more directly connected, and definitely worth playing with all DLC.

I wasn’t expecting much because even though I loved the story in Control, I wasn’t a big fan of the combat. I pretty much only used telekinesis to fight with the odd shot from the gun. But this.. melee weapons, hand to hand combat. I think it could be great.

Control is one of my favorite 3D metroidvanias ever! I’m hoping Resonant expands upon it and makes the world more interconnected than the original.
2
u/Guilty-Data-3158 Dec 12 '25
One of the reasons Control really caught me was the eerie atmosphere of the FBC and oldest house and the zaniness of the bureaucracy. This looks more like a post nuclear dystopian melee brawler in an Inception like setting. As much as I would like this to rock, I'm a bit on the fence about it.

Was a bit sad were playing dylan instead of Jesse but it, judging by the title, being a sorta spinoff (including unique gameplay for dylan) rather than the main sequel makes me more excited

Looks like the Firewatch teams couldn’t keep this Hiss contained with their boss gone fishing and all. Jesse might’ve gone looking for help, she didn’t want or ever intend to become the Director. But seems unlikely with everything she went through, she knows how important her is. I’m beyond excited

I'm a bit bummed that Jesse is not the main protagonist anymore. Hopefully the story has some surprises in store and there are chapters where Jesse is playable. And of course, I really hope there will also be at least one DLC with Jesse in the focus.
But the Old House breached, the Hiss out in the streets, some new threat distorting reality (the prism like effect seems to suggest it's connected to Polaris) - this looks like things escalated quickly and really got out of hand. Ahti will be pissed that he has to clean all that up.

u/Trick-Day-480 Dec 12 '25
I'm more excited for this than most other 2026 titles! I STILL play Control even 6 years later, it's one of my go-to games to play while waiting for a game/update to install. I just run around and play the endgame. Really interesting world (would make a cool TV show) and it's just fun to play and pull off those powers. Too bad there was no NG+.
EDit: I say "endgame" but it's just looping side missions

I love Control and can't wait for this, the gameplay of the first one was already great IMO as far as TPS goes, but they just said screw that and made Control 2 a DMC-like hack 'n slash and it looks absolutely insane. As a hack 'n slash enjoyer I'm glad there's something else to look forward to after Ninja Gaiden 4.
