Putting Control Resonant Under A Microscope Is Rewarding In An Unexpected Way

Putting Control Resonant Under A Microscope Is Rewarding In An Unexpected Way https://ift.tt/BWydxQs Over many years, I've written tens of thousands of words covering the Remedy Connected Universe, the Finnish studio's world tying the Alan Wake and Control series together. This is a team that loves rewarding players who notice the smaller details and go off the golden path in search of morsels of understanding. Connecting dots is often much of the fun in a Remedy game.  To my surprise, that side of the developer wasn't on display much in Control Resonant. There are definitely a few nods, and one chain of side quests in particular seems to have greater implications for the studio's future connected-universe games, but overall, I was taken aback by how disinterested Resonant was in tying itself to Remedy's bigger picture.

Persona Netflix Adaptation Reportedly In The Works

Persona Netflix Adaptation Reportedly In The Works https://ift.tt/yCoXR1K

Atlus's globally beloved Persona series is no stranger to mixed media: numerous games in the series have been adapted into anime, manga, novels and more. But, if a recent report is correct, the Persona franchise may find itself expanding to many more screens across the globe.

Variety reports that, according to various sources, Netflix has inked a deal to adapt Persona into some form to be broadcast on its streaming platform. Christopher Monfette will serve as writer, producer, and showrunner, while Shawn Levy and Robert Atwood will be executive producers through their company 21 Laps Inc. Story Kitchen, a production company famous for helping to adapt video game IPs to other media forms, will also be involved--as will its executives Dmitri M. Johnson, Michael Lawrence Goldberg, and Timothy I. Stevenson. Toru Nakahara from Sega will also serve in a production role.

As the deal has not been publicly announced, details are sparse--including which (if any) specific games would be adapted. The reported involvement of Story Kitchen is also interesting, as it helped bring the wildly successful Sonic the Hedgehog film adaptations to theaters, and is also currently helping to produce other Sega adaptations like Streets of Rage and Shinobi.

Persona's already had a big 2026 so far with the announcement of Persona 6 and 30th-anniversary festivities, so a big announcement like a Netflix partnership to cap it all all of is very plausible. Here's hoping that something will result that satisfies series fans and newcomers alike.
