Overview

• FBC: Firebreak is Remedy Entertainment’s first multiplayer game, set six years after Control in the Oldest House, with players battling the Hiss in three-player co-op missions.

• Players select customizable 'Crisis Kits' with unique tools and abilities, requiring coordinated teamwork to complete objectives and manage resources like ammo and health.
• Launching June 17, 2025, on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, the game will be available on Game Pass Ultimate and PlayStation Plus Premium, with free post-launch missions and cosmetics planned.
