Mikael Kasurinen, game director, Remedy Entertainment said the following about Control on its release.
Control is our most ambitious game as a studio yet. We said early on this would redefine what a Remedy game is; giving our fans a more player-driven experience than we’ve ever created before, while still retaining the compelling worlds we’re known for. Everyone at Remedy is proud of what we’re delivering to players today and we look forward to continuing to expand on what we’ve built after launch as well.
Control is available now for consoles and PC. The next-gen version of the game was released earlier this month. This version offers additional graphical and performance modes, including a visual mode that focuses on graphics at 30FPS with Ray Tracing, while the performance mode focuses on 60FPS.
