Big news from the realm of trademark filing: Remedy Entertainment has spruced up the paperwork for something they’re calling “Control Resonant.” What could this magical phrase represent? Let’s dive into the pool of possibilities without belly-flopping!
Trademark Shenanigans
As unearthed by the ever-vigilant MP1st, this little trademark gem was registered on a fine Thursday—presumably with a side of coffee and a sprinkle of existential dread. Filed in Finland, the home turf of Remedy, it was lovingly crafted by Nordia Attorneys at Law, a law firm so familiar with Remedy that they might as well be sharing a pizza with them.
Now, let’s not get too carried away. Just because “Control” has been stamped doesn’t mean it’s a new flavor of potato chips. The trademark has been slotted into the standard video-game-related categories, which raises all sorts of questions. Is this a long-awaited sequel? An ambitious DLC? A cinematic masterpiece starring a five-headed monster named Dr. Goose? The mind boggles.
What Could Control Resonant Be?
At first glance, it seems highly likely that “Control Resonant” is simply the new name for “Control 2,” the sequel that many had been whispering about over their energy drinks. However, the numerous categories under which it has been filed suggest that it could also moonlight as a TV show, movie, or possibly a riveting novel about interdimensional bureaucracies. Because who doesn’t love a good paperwork showdown with supernatural elements?
The Grand Announcement
Mark the calendars for December 11, folks! The Game Awards are just around the corner, where Remedy has made appearances more times than a cat chasing laser pointers. One can only hope that “Control Resonant” makes a grand entrance during the event—complete with confetti and a marching band!
Beta Testing the Crystal Ball
Here’s another twist in the plot: Control 2 is still being tinkered with at Remedy, where it has enlisted the financial support of Annapurna. Talk about a power couple! Last year’s announcement claimed it would be an action RPG, leaving fans on the precipice of anticipation, like a kid waiting for the next season of their favorite show.
But wait, there’s more! Annapurna has also flirted with the idea of taking Remedy’s creations, including Control, and catapulting them into the realms of film and television. This slightly dampens the certainty that “Control Resonant” will be a game—a twist as unexpected as a cat in a dog park.
Previous Hits and Misses
In the wild landscape of Remedy’s creative endeavors, “Control” was crowned as their greatest masterpiece since they gave us the joys of Max Payne. The accolades were plenty! Yet, not all gambits hit the mark—remember FBC: Firebreak? It stumbled out of the gate like a toddler on roller skates, leading to a profit warning that had the shareholders clutching their pearls. And in an unexpected plot twist, the CEO exited stage left immediately thereafter. Talk about drama!
As “Control Resonant” simmers in the background, one can only hope it doesn’t become another tale of woe, but instead a sparkling gem in the gaming universe. Stay tuned!
