FBC: Firebreak Wiki

FBC: Firebreak

FBC: Firebreak is a three-player cooperative first-person shooter developed and published by Remedy Entertainment, released in October 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Set in the universe of Control's Federal Bureau of Control, it strands teams of FBC personnel inside the Oldest House, the Bureau's reality-bending headquarters, after a containment crisis sweeps its shifting floors. Players work together as Field Agents, gathering gear, fighting paranatural threats, and completing objectives across procedurally reorganized missions. The shooter retains Control's weird, bureaucratic horror tone while leaning into fast, team-based combat, Bureau-issue armaments, and escalating 'Awe' difficulty modifiers. It marks Remedy's first multiplayer-focused title, evolving the studio's single-player DNA into a co-op live-service action game.

• Three-Player Co-op Shooter — players form squads of FBC Field Agents who fight through the Oldest House together, sharing objectives, loot, and revives across procedurally reorganized missions.
• Bureau Arsenal — combat centers on Bureau-issue firearms and paranatural gadgets, with weapon pickups, attachments, and situational tool loadouts dropped throughout the House.
• 'Awe' Difficulty Escalation — a live-tuned modifier system that raises enemy aggression and introduces new threats as squads succeed, keeping the co-op loop tense through escalating danger tiers.
• Containment Crisis Setting — a full-scale paranatural containment breach has torn through the Oldest House, reconfiguring its shifting floors and flooding them with hostile manifestations for agents to clear.
• Shared Weird-Horror Tone — the game carries the FBC's blackly humorous bureaucratic aesthetic and paranormal horror, echoing Control's world while adapting it to fast team play.
• Live Co-op Service Model — built as a replayable, service-style multiplayer game with rotating missions and gear, rather than a single-player campaign.
