Did you catch the shots of those arcade machines in the AWE trailer? Those are special Altered Items that let you access some new gameplay modes, including a horde mode and a time trial.
The community has been asking for the ability to replay story missions, and while we can’t quite offer that, if you own AWE, you will be able to replay the much-loved Ashtray Maze through the arcade machine. You can also replay certain boss fights from Control’s main campaign, as long as you’ve already beaten the bosses. There’s definitely some excellent rewards up for grabs, including a new outfit for Jesse.
In addition to the paid AWE expansion, all owners of Control will receive a free update in August. In it you’ll get a new upgrade for Launch called Multi-Launch, more checkpoints added to the trickier main story missions, and some more quality of life features that we’ll talk about closer to the update’s launch.
The free August update also contains additional usability options in the form of the Assist Mode. This is a set of game features that can be enabled or disabled separately from each other in Control’s options menu.
