A trio of former BioWare devs are making ‘a neon-noir supernatural mystery game set in a stylized Canadian cityscape’

A trio of former BioWare developers, Kaelin Lavallée, Kris Schoneberg, and Francis Lacuna, has founded Studio Reset. The studio's debut project is a neon-noir supernatural mystery game set in a stylized Canadian cityscape. The founders aim for a "smaller, more intentional" approach to game development, focusing on original ideas and sustainable practices. They hope to explore unconventional Canadian locales for their narrative. Details about the project's release timeline are currently undisclosed, but updates will be shared in the coming months, with more information available on their website, studioreset.io.

Control Resonant dev Remedy didn’t use other triple-A games for inspiration, because “nobody is taking risks”

Control Resonant is a sequel that takes players from the isolated setting of the Oldest House to the reimagined streets of Manhattan, described as a "labyrinth." The game features a new protagonist, Dylan Faden, who can navigate the environment in unique ways. The developers aim for a grounded aesthetic to enhance the supernatural elements and have avoided references from other games to maintain originality. The narrative expands with multiple factions and a variety of enemy types, including a haunted bus. The Hiss remains a central threat, affecting both humans and animals. Dylan will use a radio to communicate with his handler, Zoe, and will encounter audio logs that deepen the lore. Control Resonant is set to launch in 2026.
