Within yesterday’s State of play Studio Remedy Entertainment revealed the debut trailer of the second story add-on for Control… It got the name AWE and will be released on August 27, 2023.
Public Relations Director Thomas the Pooh talked in more detail about the final expansion, the release of which fell on the anniversary of the debut of the original game.
“What is AWE?” Pooh began. “This is an abbreviation for“ alternative world event ”that happens every time something paranormal enters our world. Sometimes AWEs are subtle and even invisible. And sometimes they have disastrous consequences. “
It so happened that it was in the investigative sector of the Federal Bureau of Control that AWE’s most dangerous research was carried out and the evidence was kept. The players, represented by the newly minted FBK director Jesse Feyden, will have to infiltrate the sector and track down what disturbed the long-abandoned territory.
To do this, Jesse will have to investigate several AWE cases that have been investigated here, including one unfortunate case in the town of Bright Falls.
A new form of service weapon called Surge awaits users. It is a grenade launcher with sticky explosive projectiles. The cannon allows you to fire up to four shells simultaneously, which can be detonated remotely.
In addition, Control will have a new enemy – the Hiss Airborne Ranger. They not only know how to fly, but also shoot accurately with a shotgun.
In the hall of the investigation sector, you can find an alternate reality machine (Altered Item), which looks like a regular slot machine. With its help, players will be able to replay the four bosses of the campaign and return to the Ashtray Labyrinth.
In addition, the slot contains a new Horde mode and many other pleasant surprises prepared by the developers.
In August, players will also receive a free Control Update, which includes new ability enhancements, new item uses, and additional savepoints during the trickiest campaign missions.
In the end, Pooh clarified his guess that in the AWE trailer Alan Wake himself acted as the narrator, and it was he who appears at the end, but did not say what place was reserved for the hero in the expansion.
“Control players know that we love to fill our projects with various references to other Remedy games … but what if these aren’t just references? What if this is a cunning plan stretching over a decade to combine several of our games into a single universe of Remedy worlds, and its denouement is just around the corner? “
To find out the truth and understand what really happened in the investigative sector, fans will need to download the AWE expansion on August 27.
The AWE gameplay presentation will take place on August 13th. The developers will conduct a stream, during which they will show the first 15 minutes of the add-on.
