Game developer Remedy have released a new developer diary for their upcoming title, Control. Titled ‘Directors Old and New’, this developer diary features James McCaffrey and Courtney Hope as they provide a greater insight into the character of former Federal Bureau of Control Director, Zachariah Trench. You can watch this latest developer diary below.
In Control players follow the story of Jesse Faden as she settles into the role of director at the Federal Bureau of Control. The world that Jesse inhabits is a sprawling New York building with shifting architecture and is filled with secrets to discover and side quests to complete. Jesse can decode cryptic ciphers, discover strange Bureau experiments and interact with other Bureau agents, each of which have their own stories.
Remedy’s games have always been set in locations rich in character, and Control is no exception. Max Payne was set in New York, and we have been inspired by it once again in Control, which takes place in a fictional, mysterious brutalist New York skyscraper that has just as much a character as any of the people in the game. Courtney Hope is Jesse Faden. You probably know Courtney from Quantum Break. She played Beth in Quantum Break and now she is the main protagonist in Control! James McCaffrey, who plays Zachariah Trench, the former Director of the Federal Bureau of Control. You know him as the voice of Max Payne, and now he’s back for Control! Matthew Porretta is Doctor Casper Darling, the Head of Research at the Federal Bureau of Control.
Control is set to release on Xbox One, PS4 and PC in 2019.
