Remedy Entertainment shared a new gameplay trailer for FBC: Firebreak as well as a new release window for this co-op shooter. FBC: Firebreak is expected to release in summer 2025 for Steam, Epic, Xbox, and PlayStation. It will also be a day one release on PC Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate, and PlayStation Plus (Extra and Premium).
FBC: Firebreak is a multiplayer PvE shooter where you try to restore order to the Oldest House after it "falls under siege by a relentless paranatural force." Those of you who have played Control should be very familiar with the Oldest House, the headquarters for the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC).
Remedy also already promises that all post-launch playable content will be free. There will also be cosmetics that can be optionally purchased with money, though Remedy is quick to note that none of those cosmetics will affect gameplay. There will also be no limited-time rotations or daily log-ins, and thus no worry about FOMO with this game.
Remedy is set to host a special community AMA on the FBC: Firebreak Steam page on March 31 at 9am PT (7pm ET). The devs will share more about the game, specific gameplay systems, and more about its plans for the future.
FBC: Firebreak is a session-based, multiplayer PvE experience set within the acclaimed Control universe, delivering intense cooperative action. The game features highly replayable missions known as Jobs, each uniquely designed with different challenges, objectives, and environments that require teamwork and adaptability.
The latest trailer showcases one such Job, Paper Chase, where an outbreak of rogue sticky notes in the Executive Sector of the Oldest House – seemingly harmless at first – spirals into a full-blown paranatural crisis. Players must push through three escalating zones, culminating in a chaotic showdown against a towering, gargantuan manifestation of these anomalies.
Before diving into a Job, players choose their Crisis Kit. Crisis Kits shape each Firebreaker’s playstyle, providing distinct weapons, tools, and powerful reality-bending augments that can turn the tide of a mission.
