Jesse Faden

Video Game: CONTROL Resonant

Seven years after reshaping the Federal Bureau of Control into something worth believing in, Jesse Faden has vanished, and that disappearance is the wound at the center of Control Resonant. Where the first game tracked her journey from fugitive to Director, Remedy's sequel flips the lens, casting her as the absence that drives her brother Dylan across a paranatural Manhattan tearing itself apart.

Jesse Faden’s Role in Control Resonant

When the story of Resonant begins, Jesse is no longer at the helm of the FBC. The agency she once held together is running without its Director, with Emily Pope stepping in as acting head while Dylan takes point on the crisis in the West Incursion Zone. The campaign makes clear that Jesse did not simply step away quietly; her last act as Director set something in motion, and whatever she did before disappearing is woven into the mystery Dylan must unravel. She appears in the announcement trailer, her voice reaching her brother with a warning that feels like something between a promise and a threat: things are going to get weirder. That line, delivered across a reality fracturing at its seams, says everything about how Control Resonant positions her. Jesse is not a victim of the story. She is the mystery the story is built around, the person Dylan is searching for while also reckoning with what her choices left behind.

Who Voices Jesse Faden in Control Resonant?

Courtney Hope returns to voice and portray Jesse in Control Resonant, reprising the motion-capture performance she first brought to the character in the 2019 original. Hope is a Daytime Emmy winner widely recognized for playing Sally Spectra across both The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless, and her work as Jesse earned her a Best Performance win at the New York Video Game Awards alongside nominations at the BAFTAs and The Game Awards. Her relationship with Remedy goes back further still: she first collaborated with the studio as Beth Wilder in Quantum Break, making Jesse something of a homecoming role. Control Resonant does not have a confirmed Japanese dub voice cast as of this writing.
