Control, Remedy’s upcoming new shooter, has gone gold, which means development has safely wrapped up. This has been revealed by the game’s director Mikael Kasurinen in a tweet:
It is done. New IP, new tech, new game structure, new direction, three platforms. And three years. What an achievement from the best dev team on the planet! @ControlRemedy pic.twitter.com/laFc0ocNvQ

It’s not long now until we see the new shooter in its full release form. Expect some eerie sceneries and supernatural powers right out of Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy with this one, which sounds promising.
In addition, the game’s system requirements on PC has been revealed. And it’s quite an ask, especially if you’re looking to have ray-tracing on.
UPDATE 6/8/2019: Control’s PC specs have been updated by Remedy, which can be viewed here. It is less demanding than the requirements suggested here. Original story is as follows:
Minimum:
- OS: Windows 7, 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i5-7500 / AMD Ryzen 3 1300X or better
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD RX580 or better
- Ray-Tracing GPU: GeForce RTX 2060
- RAM: 8GB
- DirectX: Version 11
Recommended:
- OS: Windows 10, 64-bit
- CPU: Intel Core i5-8600K / AMD Ryzen 7 2700X or better
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080Ti / AMD Radeon VII or better
- Ray-Tracing GPU: GeForce RTX 2080
- RAM: 16GB
- DirectX: Version 12
If you’re running on a machine with a GTX1050Ti GPU, that won’t cut it for Control. And as you would expect, a minimum of an RTX 2060 is needed for ray-tracing.
Control will be out on August 27th for the PS4, PC (Epic Games Store) and Xbox One.
