Remedy has laid out what is coming to Control Resonant after launch. New Game++, a mode for endless repeat playthroughs, arrives in October, Photo Mode follows in November, and more outfits for Dylan come after that. The game launched on 24 September, and its first numbers look good: 88 percent positive reviews on Steam and 84 on Metacritic.
What Remedy promised
- New Game++, October. Right now you can start New Game+ only once after the ending. The update lets you start run after run without wiping your progress. "Do 665 runs if you want," the studio jokes.
- Photo Mode, November. The most requested feature. Remedy says it has been working on it for a while and consulted virtual photographers from the community, and held it back at launch to get the game itself into the best possible shape first.
- New outfits. More cosmetics for Dylan are planned for future updates, with details later. For now there is a test dummy outfit you can earn by watching the game on Twitch.
The game does not stop at the credits: side quests, World Feats and a new playthrough are all still there. Remedy also asks players to take their time and explore the altered Manhattan.

It is an important start for Remedy: Control Resonant moved the series to an action RPG and took it out of the Oldest House into Manhattan. Judging by player and press reception, the change of genre paid off. The rest of this week's releases are in our roundup.
