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

Remedy Entertainment has officially announced that FBC: Firebreak will launch on June 17, 2025. This session-based, multiplayer PvE game is set within the Control universe, offering players a range of replayable missions known as Jobs. These Jobs come with unique challenges, objectives, and environments that demand teamwork and adaptability from players.

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

Alongside the standard edition, Remedy unveiled the FBC: Firebreak Deluxe Edition, priced at $49.99 / €49.99 / £39.99. This edition includes exclusive cosmetics and premium voice packs. Owners of the base game can upgrade to the Deluxe Edition for an additional $10 / €10 / £7.

The Deluxe Edition boasts the following:

• “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

According to the official description, FBC: Firebreak introduces a system called Requisitions, which rewards players with new gear and cosmetics simply by playing the game. These Requisitions can include weapons, equipment, armor, sprays, and more, all unlockable using in-game currency earned through gameplay. Importantly, there are no limited-time windows or rotating stores; once an item is added to the game, it remains available.

For those seeking additional customization, Classified Requisitions offer premium cosmetic items such as armor sets, custom voice packs, sprays, and weapon skins. These are purchased with real money, but they are purely cosmetic and have no impact on gameplay. They will also remain available permanently.

Remedy has committed to ongoing support for FBC: Firebreak post-launch, with plans to introduce two new Jobs in 2025 and further updates in 2026. All new playable content, including Jobs, will be free for all players. While players can purchase cosmetics, these items will not affect gameplay, and there will be no limited-time rotations or daily log-in requirements.

Remedy is currently juggling multiple projects, including FBC: Firebreak, Control 2, and the Max Payne and Max Payne 2 remake compilation, making it an exciting time for fans of the developer.
