CONTROL Resonant Manhattan — Wiki

02 / Field notes

How to read the city

The setting is New York's Manhattan transformed by impossible geometry and paranatural incursions. Remedy describes visually distinct Zones that unlock as Dylan progresses, so a citywide image should not be treated as a usable coordinate map.

Gravity Anomalies and traversal unlocks change which surfaces count as a route. When comparing two guides, the named Zone and the capability Dylan has acquired matter more than an ordinary street address.

What the player can do

The main campaign is called Dylan's Journey. World Quests, Faults, puzzles and other activities can pull you away from it. We use those labels to tell the activities apart, not as a complete mission list.

Fast travel between Zones and The Gap is described in Remedy's PS5 feature breakdown. The exact retail map, collectibles and Zone completion totals remain unknown before launch.

How Zones change the planning problem

Resonant's Manhattan is described as a set of distinct, handcrafted Zones rather than a seamless open world built around clearing a giant checklist. The evolving FBC Field Office connects those areas as a hub, while the Gap is a separate space for reviewing and testing Dylan's build.

The September platform briefing describes near-instant travel between Zones and the Gap, creating a return-and-adjust rhythm. Within each Zone, the published structure separates Dylan's Journey, self-contained World Quests, combat encounters, environmental challenges and discoveries.

That hierarchy is more useful than treating every preview image as a named map marker. Start with the Zone and activity type in front of you, then open the connected mission or world file. No complete map, exact collectible coordinates or final activity count has been published for this pre-launch guide.
