Remedy and Microsoft have just announced a new co-op FPS game that will be set in the world of CONTROL, called FBC: Firebreak. The game will be coming to PC and Xbox Series X|S in 2025, and below you can find its debut trailer.
Here is the game’s description.
“As a years-long siege on the agency’s headquarters reaches its boiling point, only Firebreak—the Bureau’s most versatile unit—has the gear and the guts to plunge into the building’s strangest crises, restore order, and blast their way back from the brink.”
The debut trailer has numerous gameplay sequences. And, to be honest, I’m a bit surprised by the combat mechanics. The game looks fun and the weapon handling appears quite good.
In a weird way, this is what Redfall should have been. A fun co-op FPS with great combat and weapons mechanics. The shooting looks fun, and the enemy reactions are great.
I just hope that FBC: Firebreak will be something more than a co-op MP/GaaS title. The game would benefit from some story missions. So, let’s hope that Remedy will expand the world of CONTROL via this title. Let’s also hope that it will have lots of different missions. Otherwise, it will become repetitive in the blink of an eye.
Anyway, since I’m mostly a single-player game, this isn’t a game for me. Still, I’m surprised by how polished the game looks in this trailer. So, good job Remedy.
Enjoy!
