FBC: Firebreak - Upcoming Co-op Shooter with Free Content Updates Revealed

2025-06-14 07:05:51

While FBC: Firebreak hasn't officially launched yet, Remedy Entertainment has already revealed exciting details about upcoming free content expansions for their first multiplayer-focused title. Scheduled for release on June 17, this cooperative shooter marks a bold new direction for the studio famous for narrative-driven single-player experiences like Control and Alan Wake.

Set within the enigmatic Oldest House from Control, FBC: Firebreak plunges players into chaotic multiplayer missions as members of the Bureau's elite Firebreak unit. Teams of three will combat supernatural threats using an arsenal of bizarre weaponry - from reality-altering devices to explosive garden gnome launchers - all while navigating the shifting architecture of the FBC headquarters.

Thomas Puha, Remedy's Communications Director, explained their post-launch strategy: "We want to launch first, evaluate player feedback, then shape our free 2026 content accordingly." This community-driven approach will begin with two major updates:

Decoding FBC: Firebreak's Mysterious Update Names

  • Outbreak (Fall Update): Likely exploring the Mold-infected Research Sector with zombie-like enemies
  • Blackout (Winter Update): Potentially focusing on the Dark Presence from Alan Wake in the Investigations Sector

Each expansion will introduce new areas of the Oldest House, gameplay mechanics, enemies, and weapons while maintaining the game's signature blend of tactical cooperation and paranormal chaos. Optional cosmetic packs called Classified Requisitions will be available separately.
