Control Resonant: Remedy shares finely tunable accessibility options
In brief
- Kotaku reports that Remedy Entertainment is working on finely tunable accessibility and difficulty options in Control Resonant, including enemy projectile
The description points to highly granular settings, including enemy projectile speed and the timing window for a perfect dodge in a boss fight.
According to Kotaku, those sliders can be adjusted in both directions, rather than only toward an easier setting.
What happened
Kotaku writes that Remedy Entertainment lead gameplay designer Sergey Mohov published an essay about how Control Resonant’s accessibility options tie into its difficulty. The publication date is listed as 15 September 2026, and Kotaku cites it as the source for the description of the systems. The article links that explanation to Remedy’s broader approach to accessibility, but focuses mainly on the concrete examples discussed in the essay.
In the reporting, the game is presented as a sequel that builds on Remedy’s earlier attention to accessibility. Instead of fixed presets such as Easy, Normal, and Hard, Kotaku describes fine-grained settings for individual gameplay elements. Examples mentioned in the article include enemy projectile speed and the size of the perfect-dodge window during a boss fight. Kotaku also reports that these dials can be adjusted in both directions, not just lowered for a simpler experience. That means the system is designed not only to reduce challenge, but also to make it more demanding.
Mohov is said to have argued that players should first try the game as intended before changing settings. Kotaku connects that comment to the way the options are framed: not as a replacement for the default experience, but as a set of adjustments to use afterward. The article does not provide a full list of settings and does not definitively confirm the final menu layout. It sticks to the examples mentioned in the essay.

15 September 2026: The article notes that Mohov wants players to try the intended default experience before changing settings.
Background
The reporting places Control Resonant in the context of Remedy’s earlier focus on accessibility. The core of the article is the shift from fixed difficulty levels to granular tuning for individual gameplay systems. Kotaku contrasts that with the traditional model of presets like Easy, Normal, and Hard, using that difference to frame Remedy’s approach.
The available information does not name a final list of options and does not confirm whether the title shown is the game’s final official name. It is also unclear whether the settings are available from the start or only after a first playthrough, as the description suggests. The source material therefore mainly shows a design discussion rather than a fully specified feature list.
Sergey Mohov is identified in the reporting as Remedy Entertainment’s lead gameplay designer. Kotaku names him as the author or speaker behind the essay driving the accessibility-and-difficulty discussion. The publication date of 15 September 2026 is the only concrete date attached to the report in the provided information.
The key facts remain limited to three points: the game is Control Resonant, the discussion centers on accessibility options tied to difficulty, and the examples Kotaku cites are enemy projectile speed and the timing of a perfect dodge in a boss fight. The source also confirms that the settings can be adjusted in both directions, which sets the approach apart from a simple difficulty reducer.
