CONTROL Resonant Trailer Song

Each promotional video for Remedy Entertainment's supernatural sequel showcases a distinct musical identity, pairing licensed high-energy anthems with haunting original compositions. This guide details every confirmed Control Resonant trailer song across official broadcasts, linking artists, background origins, and streaming availability.

Launch trailer music and artist credits

The official launch video released on September 17, 2026 features "My Favourite Game" by Swedish rock band The Cardigans. Unlike bespoke orchestral score cues, this needle-drop licenses the group's signature 1998 recording from their album Gran Turismo.

Attribution required industry verification: official YouTube metadata and media mirrors omitted audio credits. Industry outlet Inven Global provided the confirmed identification. While certain regional outlets list September 18 due to timezone offsets, Remedy's primary upload timestamp is September 17.

Artist credits and original soundtrack distinction

Because The Cardigans' recording is an established commercial release, it exists separately from Petri Alanko's bespoke score. Alanko — veteran composer behind Control, Alan Wake, and Alan Wake 2 — composed the underlying cinematic themes throughout development. Players seeking "My Favourite Game" can stream the original master recording on standard music platforms, as the game utilizes the licensed master.

Production context enriches several entries. "Obsessive Compulsive Order" served as the debut preview of Alanko's score. Meanwhile, "Manalan Mailla" was custom-crafted by Finnish artist Vilma Jää alongside producers Teemu Brunila and Jurek at Fried Music. Blending ancient Finno-Ugric runolaulu vocal traditions with modern electronics, the track also integrates into the story narrative as part of field handler Zoe De Vera's personal mixtape.

Gamescom's August 26 presentation spotlighted "Omen" by British electronic pioneers The Prodigy, confirmed through RPG Site coverage. The February State of Play broadcast relied solely on ambient in-engine audio without licensed singles.

Where to stream Control Resonant music

Current streaming accessibility varies by track:

• "Manalan Mailla" is playable on Spotify, exceeding 800,000 streams.
• "Obsessive Compulsive Order" debuted as a standalone YouTube music video via Remedy's channel, with wider digital distribution pending.
