Exciting Launch of FBC: Firebreak by Remedy Entertainment
This summer, Remedy Entertainment is set to launch FBC: Firebreak, its first multiplayer game. It will be available on PC (Steam and Epic), PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Game Pass, and PlayStation Plus starting June 17. The game is priced at $39.99 for the standard edition and $49.99 for the Deluxe Edition. Players will return to the mysterious halls of the Federal Bureau of Control’s Oldest House, now infested with supernatural forces known as Hiss.
Gameplay Overview
In Firebreak, players become “First responders” tasked with managing paranormal incidents within FBC headquarters.Instead of a large open world, Remedy has chosen a format featuring short session-based missions called “Jobs.” Each Job presents different objectives and challenges in unique environments. One moment you might be closing a rift in reality; the next could involve fighting off animated paperwork.
Character Progression System
The game features two Requisition tracks that guide character progress. Standard Requisitions are earned through gameplay currency and allow players to unlock new weapons and gear options. Conversely, Classified Requisitions provide cosmetic items only—these do not affect gameplay performance—ensuring that player skill remains key to success rather than spending money on upgrades.
A significant advantage for players is that all future content updates will be free of charge. This includes new Jobs without any battle pass requirements or daily login tasks that can often feel burdensome.
Solo Play and Cross-Platform features
If you prefer playing alone or can't find friends online, don’t worry! Firebreak includes strong AI support to fill any empty team slots during missions so you can still enjoy every Job fully. For those who want to play with friends across different platforms, cross-play functionality allows seamless interaction between PC users and console gamers alike while dedicated servers ensure smooth gameplay experiences.
Future Updates
The developers plan several post-launch updates aimed at expanding available Jobs along with introducing new challenges for players to tackle together or solo while seasonal cosmetic drops offer ways to customize your character's appearance further.
Expanding Control Universe
This release also highlights Remedy’s larger goals within the Control universe beyond just this multiplayer experience; they are actively working on a single-player sequel as well as collaborating with Annapurna Pictures for potential film adaptations based on this intriguing narrative world.
A Busy Gaming Month Ahead
The launch day isn’t just about Firebreak; it coincides with other major releases like Nintendo Switch 2 alongside Mario Kart World arriving June 5 followed by titles such as Doom: The Dark Ages and Elden Ring: Nightreign later in June too! However fans looking forward specifically towards an engaging team-based shooter set against an eerie backdrop should keep their eyes peeled because Firebreak promises thrilling action combined perfectly into its atmospheric storytelling style without relying heavily upon live-service elements typically found elsewhere today!
Gather your friends now! Prepare your loadouts carefully before diving back into reclaiming control over Oldest House once again!
