‘Control’ Launches Final Expansion Today

AWE, the second and final expansion for the supernatural action game Control, developed by Remedy Entertainment, is available today for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One from publisher 505 Games.

AWE will take Bureau Director Jesse Faden to the Investigations Sector of the Oldest House, where the Federal Bureau of Control closely examines Altered World Events (AWE) – happenings where paranatural forces breach our world with sometimes grave consequences. The expansion, which becomes available following the completion of the seventh main mission (“The Face of the Enemy”) in the campaign, will require players to enter the Investigations Sector and confront the creature lurking within this long-abandoned part of the Bureau. To reclaim the Investigations Sector from its clutches, Jesse will need to explore the Altered World Events investigated here, including one from the town of Bright Falls where Jesse learns more about the disappearance of the writer Alan Wake.

A free August update delivered automatically to all owners of Control brings with it many improvements including Assist Mode, the Multi-Launch upgrade for the Launch ability, and additional checkpoints for some of the more challenging combat encounters towards the end of the main story campaign. Players will also find added Control Points closer to the boss fights with Mold-1, the Anchor and esseJ.
