Announced during the Xbox Partner Preview in October 2024, FBC Firebreak made a notable appearance at the Future Game Show tonight, featuring new, intense gameplay images and an official release date. This summer, Remedy Entertainment’s multiplayer title will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles. It marks an opportunity for the creators of Max Payne and Alan Wake to expand beyond horror games and explore new territories outside their detective-centric narratives. Notably, this project is considered a side venture to Control, as it takes place within the same universe. Players will assume the role of a Federal Bureau of Control agent tasked with combating the threats posed by the Oldest House (L’Ancienne Maison), employing both unusual and ingenious weaponry. The recent video demonstrates that supernatural elements will indeed feature prominently in the game, and developers have shown an affinity for Post-It notes, as numerous levels are adorned with these small paper pieces, hinting at a new technology related to particle management.
