Can’t wait to see how Remedy’s signature weirdness translates into multiplayer—imagine the Hiss invasions turning into pure, unscripted chaos with friends. The blend of class-based teamwork and unpredictable environmental interactions could make this the ultimate controlled mayhem experience.

Love that Remedy is leaning into the chaos of the Control universe—finally, a co-op game where throwing a fridge at your buddy is a legit strategy. The systemic gameplay sounds like it’ll create those ‘did you just see that’ moments every match.
