"FBC: Firebreak Release Date Announced - Remedy's Co-Op FPS in Control's Universe"

May 21,2025 Author: Joshua

Remedy has exciting news for fans: FBC: Firebreak, a session-based, multiplayer PvE game set within the Control universe, is set to launch on June 17, 2025. This new title promises engaging, replayable missions called Jobs, each offering unique challenges, objectives, and environments that demand teamwork and adaptability from players.

FBC: Firebreak will be available across multiple platforms including PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X and S, and PlayStation 5, priced at $39.99 / €39.99 / £32.99. On launch day, it will also be accessible through PC Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate, and the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog (Extra and Premium). Notably, this marks Remedy's first self-published game.

In addition to the standard edition, Remedy has unveiled the FBC: Firebreak Deluxe Edition, which will retail for $49.99 / €49.99 / £39.99. The Deluxe Edition includes a range of exclusive cosmetics and premium voice packs. Owners of the base game can upgrade to the Deluxe Edition for just $10 / €10 / £7.

The FBC: Firebreak Deluxe Edition comes packed with:

  • “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 what Remedy has to say about FBC: Firebreak:

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, followed by more updates in 2026. All new playable content, including Jobs, will be free for all players. While cosmetics can be purchased, they will not affect gameplay and there will be no limited-time rotations or daily log-in rewards.

Remedy is currently juggling several projects alongside FBC: Firebreak, including Control 2 and the Max Payne and Max Payne 2 remake compilation, making it a bustling period for the Alan Wake developer.
