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

Remedy has exciting news for gamers: FBC: Firebreak is set to launch on June 17, 2025. This new title is a session-based, multiplayer PvE game set within the beloved Control universe. Players will dive into replayable missions called Jobs, each presenting unique challenges, objectives, and environments that demand teamwork and adaptability.

FBC: Firebreak will be available on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, priced at $39.99 / €39.99 / £32.99. It will also be accessible on day one through PC Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate, and PlayStation Plus Game Catalog (Extra and Premium). Notably, this marks Remedy's first venture into self-publishing.

In addition to the standard edition, Remedy unveiled the FBC: Firebreak Deluxe Edition, which retails for $49.99 / €49.99 / £39.99. This edition includes exclusive cosmetics and premium voice packs such as "The Firestarter" and "The Pencil Pusher," along with the Firestarter Armor Set, Apex Revision (Helmet, Body Armor, Gloves), Scorched Remnant Double-Barrel Shotgun Skin, and Golden Firebreak Spray. Base game owners can upgrade to the Deluxe Edition for $10 / €10 / £7.

The Deluxe Edition also features the Classified Requisition: "Firestarter," a collection of 36 unlockable cosmetic items, including weapon skins, sprays, and armor sets. Here's the official description:

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 committed to ongoing support for FBC: Firebreak post-launch, promising two new Jobs in 2025 and further updates in 2026. All new content, including Jobs, will be free to all players. While players can purchase cosmetics, these items won't affect gameplay and there won't be any limited-time rotations or daily log-ins, Remedy assures.

Amidst a busy development schedule, Remedy is also working on Control 2 and the Max Payne and Max Payne 2 remake compilation, showcasing their dedication to delivering high-quality gaming experiences.
