The short answer
Start by learning your chosen weapon’s reach, how to regain ability resource and how to leave an unsafe attack. This is a preparation guide based on developer explanations and played previews; the retail opening is not yet verified.
Before you start
- Access to the game when your edition releases
- A comfortable input and display setup
A suggested learning order
The expected result is a repeatable attack-and-reposition routine. This is Kingy’s suggested practice sequence, not a claim that these are the exact retail quest steps.
- Read the starting weapon choice, then practise its ordinary attacks before spending upgrades.
- Learn the movement tutorial one ability at a time. Try a short crossing before chaining several movements.
- In combat, watch the ability meter and the opportunities created by your attacks. Use the combat-loop guide when the relationship is unclear.
- Once the Gap is available, compare your current loadout with the problem you actually encountered.
Reveal the preview’s opening route Reveal solution / story details
Game Informer’s played build begins inside the Oldest House and then moves into Manhattan. Zoe directs Dylan into the city; later preview sections demonstrate movement across distorted interiors. The report is useful orientation, but does not establish a complete map, a final mission list or collectible locations.

If the next action is unclear
| Problem | Useful next check |
|---|---|
| Combat pressure is too high | Open the Assist Mode guide and change the part causing difficulty. |
| A route appears inaccessible | Check for a missing ability, key or access card before repeating the same jump. |
| An upgrade choice feels uncertain | Read the build guide and compare one change at a time. |
Keep a record you can use
Record your platform and displayed build number once available. If you find a blocker, note the objective text, the nearest named location and the last action that worked. Those details are more useful than an assumed solution from the first Control.
