FBC: Firebreak, Remedy’s Co-Op FPS Set in the World of Control, Has a Release Date

Remedy has announced a June 17, 2025 release date for FBC: Firebreak.

FBC: Firebreak is a session-based, multiplayer PvE experience set within the Control universe. It features replayable missions known as Jobs, each with different challenges, objectives, and environments that require teamwork and adaptability.

It’s set for launch across PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X andS, and PlayStation 5 for $39.99 / €39.99 / £32.99. FBC: Firebreak will also be available day one via PC Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate, and PlayStation Plus Game Catalog (Extra and Premium). It’s Remedy’s first self-published game.

Remedy also revealed the FBC: Firebreak Deluxe Edition, priced $49.99 / €49.99 / £39.99. It includes a collection of exclusive cosmetics and premium voice packs. Base game owners can upgrade to 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 also confirmed its plans for ongoing support post-launch, including two new Jobs (missions) coming in 2025. More updates will arrive in 2026, the developer said. All playable content released post launch, such as Jobs, will be free to all players. Players have the option to buy cosmetics, but none of these items will affect gameplay, and there will be no limited-time rotations or daily log-ins, Remedy insisted.

It’s a busy time for Alan Wake developer Remedy, which has a number of projects on the go. As well as FBC: Firebreak, it’s working on Control 2 and the Max Payne and Max Payne 2 remake compilation.
