Control 2 fans in shambles after mysterious, psychological Gamescom trailer is revealed to be an advertisement for more Gamescom: "Step on legos for eternity"

Control Ultimate Edition.

Oh, Geoff Keighley. Geoff, Geoff, Geoff. I didn't think the Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 host could hurt me anymore after failing to hand deliver me Resident Evil Requiem immediately after its Summer Game Fest reveal, but here we are again, stuck in our infernal waltz…

I thought a trailer played during ONL was for Control 2, the haunted, third-person shooter sequel that developer Remedy confirmed in 2022, but it was actually a montage of how epic Gamescom is. My disappointment is sharp, puncturing my liver, etc. And I'm not the only one who feels hurt.

"I THOUGHT CONTROL 2 WAS COMING, TURNS OUT IT’S A GAMESCOM AD, SPIT ON YOUR EVENT," says one fan on Twitter.
