Exciting news for gaming enthusiasts: Remedy Entertainment is gearing up to release its next big hit, FBC: Firebreak, on June 17. Available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, FBC: Firebreak marks Remedy’s debut into multiplayer co-op shooters—a fresh direction for the creators of iconic titles like Alan Wake and Max Payne.
In this game, participants will find themselves part of the Firebreak team, tackling extradimensional threats that linger after the events of Remedy’s earlier game, Control. This time, players will venture into the mysterious Oldest House with an arsenal of unusual weapons, facing off against formidable enemies. However, for those who have stepped into the Remedyverse before, expect a familiar yet invigorating experience, even though you won’t be playing as Jesse Faden, the star of Control.
While the announcement trailer dropped late last year, a new developer update has now shed more light on what to expect. The June release date has been officially set, and those with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PlayStation Plus subscriptions will get to dive into FBC: Firebreak as soon as it launches. For PC gamers, the title will be accessible via both Steam and the Epic Games Store, with editions priced at $39.99 for the standard and $49.99 for the deluxe.
The latest sneak peeks highlight a variety of weapons ranging from bulky wrenches to explosive garden gnomes, promising a dynamic and engaging gameplay experience. Teams of up to three players will undertake missions that traverse both familiar zones and newly unveiled regions of the Oldest House. Though designed as an independent game, FBC: Firebreak serves to connect the narratives of Control with its highly anticipated sequel, making it a must-play for fans eager for more paranatural adventures.
As anticipation builds for FBC: Firebreak, it’s clear that Remedy is closing out the year strong, with exciting prospects not only for this release but also for what lies ahead in their evolving gaming universe. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a newcomer, get ready for a thrilling ride through a universe brimming with mystery and action.
