Summary

  • During E3 2021, VentureBeat had the opportunity to check out a hands-on preview of FBC: Firebreak, a new cooperative first-person shooter game from Remedy Entertainment.
  • The game is set within the same universe as Remedy’s previous game, Control.
  • In FBC: Firebreak, players battle through hordes of different types of reality-warping anomalies and otherworldly monsters, known as The Hiss, with two other players in a self-imposed lockdown at the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC).
  • After six years, the FBC is still trapped in its headquarters, the Oldest House, and the Firebreak Initiative has been launched to manage the strange and dangerous crises appearing across the building until the lockdown can be lifted.
  • The game will be released on June 17 on PC (via Steam and Epic Store), Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
  • There are five jobs (missions) available at launch, with two more planned for 2025 and more for 2026; all post-launch playable content will be free for all players.
