Remedy reveals FBC Firebreak, its first multiplayer title

Remedy drew back the curtain on its multiplayer title, formerly codenamed Condor, at today’s Xbox Partner Preview event. FBC Firebreak is a first-person shooter, set in the same location as Remedy’s single-player hit Control, but is not, the studio insists, a sequel. Firebreak is Remedy’s first venture into the world of multiplayer, and the studio plans to launch it on PC and Xbox Series X/S sometime in 2025.

The trailer shows some of FBC Firebreak’s gameplay: It’s a horde mode shooter with co-op for up to three players. The player characters are first responders at the Federal Bureau of Control, who are called upon to handle the supernatural threats that crop up within The Old House, the FBC’s eldritch office space. FBC Firebreak loses some of Control’s visceral horror elements, opting instead for brighter colors and more action-style gameplay.
