Remedy Entertainmentโs newest game, Control, just launched last week to rave reviews, but it doesnโt look like the developer is settling down any time soon. While we know there are two major expansions coming, it looks like details have emerged courtesy of the gameโs debug tools.
YouTuber ManFightDragon found some interesting information about Control using the developer debug menu, a series of tools that allows developers to skip around the game, and change stats such as health and power. In the video, ManFightDragon shows off the power of the debug menu by playing around with various shaders. What is most interesting, however, is the ability to jump to different missions in the game. Itโs there where the DLC plans might have spoiled a bit of the surprise.
A bit of text, around the 5:20 mark, shows the name โSt01_MM_04_Marshall_START_Plus_PS4_SM15_Dlcโ. What does this mean? Well, while itโs not confirmed that it is a part of any DLC, the tag at the end of the name is what has made fans wonder. The text mentions one of the characters featured in Control, Marshall. In Control, Marshall is the head of security at the Oldest House. A few missions after meeting her, she does disappear. Another character does mention what she may be up to, but itโs only a small hint.
PC Gamer, who first reported on ManFightDragonโs video, does make mention during Controlโs preview phase, there was a mission titled โMarshall,โ but it is not featured in the final game. This isnโt a confirmation that Remedy cut content to utilize at a later date though, this could be a leftover bit of text during development. Regardless, this does seem to indicate that Marshall either had a bigger role in Controlโs main story or that she will be featured more in the future.
When we reviewed Control, we called it โcreepyโ and featured โaddicting combat,โ but had โperformance issuesโ before awarding it a four out five. You can read our entire review here.
