Characters & Story report

Dylan Faden Is the Sole Playable Protagonist of Resonant

Remedy places Dylan Faden at the center of the sequel and identifies him as the sole playable character for this story.

Published · Official-source briefing

Control Resonant reverses the sibling perspective of the first game. Dylan Faden is the announced playable protagonist, carrying the new campaign while searching for his missing sister, Jesse.

What was confirmed

Dylan’s history with the FBC, the Hiss, and years of isolation makes him more than a substitute player model. Remedy ties his unstable powers and relationship with Aberrant directly to the sequel’s emotional and mechanical direction.

Calling him the sole playable protagonist also sets a clear boundary around speculation. Jesse remains important, but no character-switching campaign or playable co-op partner has been announced.

The character guide will remain spoiler-light before launch. It records only official background needed to understand Dylan’s role and avoids presenting trailer interpretation as a full biography.

Key takeaways

  • Dylan is the sole announced playable character
  • His search for Jesse drives the story
  • No character-switching system is confirmed
