What Remedy has announced
| Item | When | Status |
|---|---|---|
| New Game++ (unlimited NG+ runs on one save) | October | Live since update 1.4.0, October 1, 2026 |
| Photo Mode | November | Announced, not released |
| More cosmetics for Dylan | No date | Announced, details “closer to the time” |
| Story DLC or expansion | — | Not announced |
Remedy says Photo Mode was in development before launch but held back so the team could focus on the core game: “We’ve seen the comments – we hear you, you want it, and we want to get it into your hands” (Push Square). What 1.4.0 and the later hotfixes changed is in our patch notes.
Why there is no Expansion Pass
Remedy’s last two big games sold story DLC up front:
- Control (2019): The Foundation and AWE, through the Expansion Pass.
- Alan Wake 2 (2023): Night Springs and The Lake House, through the Expansion Pass. The Lake House is where Dylan reappears before this game.
- Control Resonant (2026): no Expansion Pass, and no paid story content on any store.
Push Square points out that this leaves room for Resonant to be a one-and-done release, though Remedy has not said so. The ending leaves threads open, as our story explainer covers, but none of them has been tied to an announced expansion.
What the editions include
The Digital Deluxe Edition adds cosmetics such as the AWE Mission Outfit. It is not a season pass. The physical SteelBook Edition is the standard game in a metal case. If DLC is announced later, neither edition is promised to include it.
In the meantime there is a lot of optional content: 17 named side stories, World Feats and FBC Tasks (mission list), and New Game++ for repeat runs. A completionist run takes around 50 hours (how long to beat).
DLC FAQ
Will Control Resonant have DLC? Nothing is announced. Remedy’s post-launch plan covers New Game++, Photo Mode and more cosmetics for Dylan. There is no Expansion Pass and no story DLC on any store as of October 12, 2026.
Does the Deluxe Edition include DLC? Only cosmetics such as the AWE Mission Outfit. It does not include any future expansion, because none has been announced.
When does Photo Mode come to Control Resonant? Remedy targeted November 2026. It was in development before launch but held back so the team could focus on the core game.
Did Control and Alan Wake 2 get DLC? Yes. Control had The Foundation and AWE, and Alan Wake 2 had Night Springs and The Lake House. Both were sold through an Expansion Pass, which Resonant does not have.
