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

Remedy has officially announced that FBC: Firebreak will launch on June 17, 2025. This exciting new title is a session-based, multiplayer PvE experience set within the beloved Control universe. Players will dive into replayable missions, known as Jobs, each offering unique challenges, objectives, and environments that demand teamwork and adaptability.

FBC: Firebreak is set to be available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, priced at $39.99 / €39.99 / £32.99. Excitingly, it 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, which comes with a higher price tag of $49.99 / €49.99 / £39.99. The Deluxe Edition boasts exclusive cosmetics and premium voice packs. Owners of the base game can upgrade to the Deluxe Edition for an additional $10 / €10 / £7.

The FBC: Firebreak Deluxe Edition includes:

• “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 new system called Requisitions, which allows players to earn new gear and cosmetics simply by playing the game. Requisitions can include weapons, equipment, armor, sprays, and more, all unlockable with in-game currency earned through gameplay. There are no limited-time windows or rotating stores; any item added to the game will remain available indefinitely.

For those seeking more customization options, Classified Requisitions offer premium cosmetic items such as armor sets, custom voice packs, sprays, and weapon skins. These can be purchased with real money, but they are purely cosmetic and do not affect gameplay. They will also remain available permanently. Learn more about how Requisitions work here.

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 content, including Jobs, will be free for all players. While cosmetics can be purchased, Remedy assures that they won't impact gameplay, and there will be no limited-time rotations or daily log-in rewards.

Remedy is currently juggling multiple projects, including FBC: Firebreak, Control 2, and the Max Payne and Max Payne 2 remake compilation, making it a bustling period for the developer known for Alan Wake.
