The post launch content roadmap for Control has been given an update for when we should expect the free and paid updates for Control
We are back again to look at the roadmap for the post-launch content still to come for Control. The big difference this time being that Remedy has given up some new details as to what to expect and when to expect them. Not just in terms of expansion for the story but also the other free updates coming to Control. Things like Photo Mode and New Game + that have apparently been something that gamers have been begging for since launch. I can see that offering up some fun little extras and reasons to dive back into the game again, but it is the expansions that should catch eyes here.
The first one being The Foundation, which will dive into more of the history of The Oldest House and other lore in Control. It would seem like this should have been something in the core game, but given that it will add extra run time it will be a welcome addition. More so when the second one looks to be the more interesting as it could link Control over to other games from the developer. Like Alan Wake for instance. Not only does the imagery throw out links, but the name (Alternate World Events) also lends to it. What other big events in the universe would fit perfectly in given how things have gone? Of course, that is just speculation but it seems like a solid candidate for things to come.
Control — Content Roadmap
Upcoming content for the renowned supernatural action-adventure game includes:
- Photo Mode: Remedy is working on the much-desired Photo Mode, arriving this fall free to all players, which will enable players to take awesome snapshots of Jesse in the Oldest House.
- New Game Mode: In December, we will release a new game mode for Control that we are currently calling Expeditions. This will be a challenging new end-game mode in which Jesse must help Security Chief Arish explore the mysterious Formation and its strange surroundings. Here you will face some the greatest challenges that the Oldest House can throw at you. You will need the best gear and abilities to survive. Expeditions is free for all players.
- Expansions: In 2020, two full, paid Expansions will be released, The Foundation and AWE. Both will offer new story missions, teams, enemies and game mechanics, and will take place in new locations within the Oldest House.
- The Foundation will delve into the history of the Oldest House. At the request of the ever-mysterious Board, Jesse must explore what lies beneath the Bureau as she returns order to the Foundation and the Oldest House itself.
- The second Expansion, AWE, will take Jesse into a new area of the Oldest House, the Investigations Sector, where the Bureau closely examines Altered World Events.
Have you been waiting for Control to get more modes as we are now and for free? Will you want to replay the whole game with everything from the start or was one and done the way you wanted to go? Do you think that we will see Alan Wake or Quantum Break mixed in now or is that just wishful thinking? Let us have those thoughts and feelings down below and then feel free to discuss. As things get better defined for Control, we will update everyone here. All you need to do is keep coming back and maybe take a look at our review of the game. Until then, let the speculation fly.
