FBC: Firebreak is a new co-op focused first-person shooter set in the Control universe, developed by Remedy Entertainment. The game will launch in 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, and will be available day one on both PlayStation Plus Extra/Premium and Xbox Game Pass.
In FBC: Firebreak, players take on the role of "fearless first responders" of the Federal Bureau of Control, tasked with confronting "reality-warping anomalies and otherworldly monsters" within the FBC's headquarters. The game features 3-player co-op gameplay, where players can customize their loadouts with a variety of weapons, tools, and "powerful paranatural augments" to help them contain the chaos.
Remedy sees FBC: Firebreak as an opportunity to provide a more action-oriented, gameplay-driven experience set in the Control universe, compared to the narrative-driven nature of the mainline Control games. The studio hopes the co-op, multiplayer focus will attract both existing Control fans as well as new players to the franchise.
Overall, FBC: Firebreak seems like an exciting new direction for the Control series, blending Remedy's signature supernatural storytelling with a more cooperative, high-octane gameplay experience. Its inclusion in PlayStation Plus Extra and Xbox Game Pass on launch day should also help expose the game to a wide audience of potential players.
