Dive into the Thrills of Control's New Co-op Horror Shooter
Get ready for a thrilling return to the world of Control with Remedy Entertainment's first multiplayer game, FBC Firebreak. This horror-filled co-op shooter takes you back to the critically acclaimed 2019 paranormal metroidvania universe. While the studio is keeping the story and mysteries under wraps, the game promises an exciting and chaotic adventure. If you're a fan of Control or just love a good scare, this might be the game for you.
What's New in FBC Firebreak?
Revealed during the latest Xbox Partner Showcase, FBC Firebreak shifts from Control's third-person action to a first-person shooter format. You and two friends will form a squad to navigate familiar levels from a fresh perspective. Expect a bigger and weirder arsenal of weapons, adding a new layer of excitement to the gameplay.
The game features:
- Three-player squads
- First-person shooting action
- Chunky guns and contamination suits
- A BioShock-like vibe
While there's no release date yet, FBC Firebreak is set to launch in 2025 on both Game Pass Ultimate and PS Plus.
Exploring the Oldest House Again
Players will return to the Oldest House, a place known for its brutalist architecture and horror-filled bureaucracy. This time, you'll be part of a cleanup crew tasked with purging the Hiss, otherworldly evils lurking in office cubicles and underground labyrinths. As you explore, you'll get to harness powerful artifacts on your missions.
Paranatural Augments
The Firebreak crew is equipped with paranatural augments, Altered Items engineered into tool attachments. These are like ultimate abilities, offering unique powers to aid in your missions. Imagine having a jaguar in a box that you unleash upon your enemies, hoping it doesn't turn on you or your friends!
Post-Launch Updates and Gameplay
Remedy has confirmed that FBC Firebreak will receive post-launch updates. However, they don't want it to feel like a full-fledged live-service game. The goal is to provide a pickup-and-play experience, allowing you to have fun with friends without the pressure of daily logins or fear of missing out.
While the game offers deep player progression and unlockable content, it's designed to be enjoyable at your own pace. If the spinoff can capture the haunting environments and creepy vibes of Control, it might just deliver the fun co-op action fans are craving.
Join the Adventure
FBC Firebreak is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the Remedyverse, with potential Easter eggs and clues for fans to discover. If you're a gamer, streamer, or just love diving into new gaming experiences, keep an eye out for this release.
