FBC: Firebreak, Remedy's Co-Op FPS, Set in Control's Universe, Gets Release Date

Remedy has set the stage for excitement among gamers with the announcement of the release date for FBC: Firebreak, slated for June 17, 2025. This new title promises a thrilling session-based, multiplayer PvE experience, deeply rooted in the Control universe. Players can expect to engage in replayable missions called Jobs, each presenting unique challenges, objectives, and environments that will test their teamwork and adaptability skills.

FBC: Firebreak is poised to launch on multiple platforms including PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X and S, and PlayStation 5, with a price tag of $39.99 / €39.99 / £32.99. The game will also be accessible on day one through PC Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate, and the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog (Extra and Premium tiers). This marks a significant milestone as it's Remedy's first venture into self-publishing.

In addition to the standard edition, Remedy unveiled the FBC: Firebreak Deluxe Edition, which will retail at $49.99 / €49.99 / £39.99. This edition comes packed with exclusive cosmetics and premium voice packs. Owners of the base game can upgrade to the Deluxe Edition for $10 / €10 / £7.

The FBC: Firebreak Deluxe Edition includes:

• “The Firestarter” Premium Voice Pack
• “The Pencil Pusher” Premium Voice Pack
• Firestarter Armor Set, Apex Revision (Helmet, Body Armor, Gloves)
• Scorched Remnant Double-Barrel Shotgun Skin
• Golden Firebreak Spray
• Classified Requisition: “Firestarter”: A collection of 36 unlockable cosmetic items including weapon skins, sprays, and armor sets

Here’s the official blurb:

FBC: Firebreak introduces Requisitions, a system that rewards players with new gear and cosmetics simply by playing the game. Requisitions can include weapons, equipment, armor, sprays, and more - all unlockable using in-game currency earned through gameplay. There are no limited-time windows or rotating stores; if an item is added in the game, it’s always available.

For those who want additional customization options, Classified Requisitions offer premium cosmetic items - such as armor sets, custom voice packs, sprays, and weapon skins. Classified Requisitions are purchased with real money. The items are purely cosmetic, have no gameplay impact, and will remain available permanently. Read more about how Requisitions work here.

Remedy has also committed to ongoing support for FBC: Firebreak post-launch, with plans to introduce two new Jobs in 2025 and further updates in 2026. All post-launch playable content, including Jobs, will be available free of charge to all players. While players can purchase cosmetic items, these will not affect gameplay and there will be no limited-time rotations or daily log-in incentives, as Remedy has assured.

Amidst a busy schedule, Remedy is not only focused on FBC: Firebreak but also progressing with Control 2 and the Max Payne and Max Payne 2 remake compilation, keeping fans eagerly anticipating what's next from the acclaimed developer.
