Key Developments & Data
Control Resonant officially launched today across consoles and PC, accompanied by an immediate day-one patch to fix combat pacing.
Hotfix 1.3.3 drastically reduces early-game enemy health pools and lowers the number of hits required to stun targets for executions.
The patch also buffs the early-game combat strength of the protagonist, Dylan, and permanently lowers the in-game cost to respec abilities.
The hotfix deployment has caused friction on Steam, where the update is forcing users to completely reinstall the previously pre-loaded September 22 early access build.
“We have decided to deploy a hotfix (1.3.3) at launch to address a few specific things: enemy health pools feeling too high.” — Remedy
