Remedy Entertainment has teased exciting news for their upcoming multiplayer shooter, FBC: Firebreak, slated to arrive in 2025. Officially confirmed during the Xbox Partner Preview event in October 2024, this 3-player cooperative experience promises to immerse players in the interconnected world of Alan Wake and Control.

While details have been scarce, FBC: Firebreak places players within the Federal Bureau of Control, tasked with confronting otherworldly threats. The upcoming Future Games Show on March 20, 2025, promises to provide a deeper look into the game's development and mechanics.

Speculation is rife regarding the potential involvement of Control protagonist Jesse Faden in FBC: Firebreak, following the discovery of a Control Easter egg within the game's promotional material. The Future Games Show livestream, scheduled for 1 pm PDT on YouTube, is expected to shed light on this and other burning questions.

Remedy's confirmation of their presence at the Future Games Show has fueled excitement among fans.  With its emphasis on multiplayer action and a first-person perspective, FBC: Firebreak represents a notable departure from Remedy's traditional formula, raising questions about how this new title will integrate into the established lore of Control and Alan Wake.

Given the 2025 release window, many anticipate that the Future Games Show will offer insights into FBC: Firebreak's narrative, gameplay mechanics, and perhaps a concrete release date.  It has already been confirmed that the game will launch day-one on PS Plus Extra and Xbox Game Pass (Console and PC).

Beyond FBC: Firebreak, Remedy is also actively developing the highly-anticipated Max Payne remake, currently in full production. This ambitious project aims to combine the narratives of the first two Max Payne games into a single, cohesive experience.
