Hi everyone! Antonela is here, Super Brand Community Manager for 505 games, working on Control. We are very pleased to announce that the first expansion of Control, Basic, is launched on March 26 on PlayStation 4. If you have already purchased the Control Season Pass, then the good news is, you will receive The Foundation as part of it.
Since its launch back in August 2019, the amazing team at Remedy Entertainment has been working hard on new content, including this premium expansion, which I will tell you more about today.
Here are five things you should know about The Foundation.
The issue
In Basic, the Astral Planet contradicts our facts. Jesse Faden, Director of the Federal Bureau of Management, must walk the streets of the Foundation to prevent the Astral Plane from occupying The Oldest House. Lost Head of Labor, Helen Marshall, may be holding back the mystery answers surrounding the threat. As he travels deep, Jesse will learn more about Marshall's disappearance, and the Board's demise.
The Work of Jesse
The foundation is a whole new category, which can be obtained through the Hotline Chamber in Central Executive. Important note, in order to get to Basic DLC, players will need to complete the game in advance.
Within the Foundation, not only is there peace to be dealt with, but peace on many sides to hold on to. On average (because this question tends to get too high) players can expect to receive 4-5 hours of new game from The Foundation.
Strengths and abilities
Our society love Jesse's skills, just like us! As part of The Foundation, we add skills to his divine argency. Take control of a whole new skill (special to The Foundation) called Shape and upgrade to a Service Weapon called Fracture, which allows Jesse to modify and disrupt the Foundation's environments.
Jesse will also be able to get Shield Rush, a Shield skill upgrade that allows Jesse to charge his enemies, and take them back during combat. This upgrade will come as part of a free March update, but more on that later!
Hiss arrested
The base introduces the Hiss Sharpened, a kind of new enemy that can be found in caves under the old House. This new version of Hiss is particularly challenging, so be prepared to test your skills as they come to you powered by melee swings, a pickaxe by hand. In addition, Hiss sharp will come from different perspectives, so think about how you can use your skills to humble yourself. (Top tip: Find out how to use Shield Rush and teach your benefit!)
Free March update
One thing. We are launching a free update alongside the Foundation. In response to the player's response, we have improved map performance, added the option to redirect Power points using Essence to Control levels, and other health improvements. There is also the ability to upgrade Shield Rush and many improvements under the hood.
On behalf of everyone in the 505s and Remedy Entertainment, we want to thank our wonderful community for all the great love and support since its launch. Your kind words inspire us, your gun the photo mode continues to surprise us, and we can't wait to get your answer to Basic. Speak soon!
