Remedy's co-op FPS FB꧃C: Firebre💛ak, based on the Control universe, launches on June 17 and will cost $40 for the base game.
The Control and Alan Wa🐈ke developer revealed the news in a on Thursday alongside a press release, confirming ongoing post-launch support including two new "Jobs" (or missions) coming after launch in 202🐈5.
The stream included gamꦉeplay footage f🐟rom the Paper Chase mission we'd seen before and another called Hot Fix that we hadn't previously seen.
FBC: Firebreak takes place six years afte🥂r the mind-bending events of Control, putting you and two friends in the unfortunate shoes of first responders trapped within the amorphous walls of the Oldest House and struggling to survive against attacks from the Hiss, the ꦗsupernatural force at the heart of the conflict in Control.
The session-based PvE game is designed around "highly replayable missions" with unique objectives and environmental challenges that you'll need to work together with your f♊riend🅺s to overcome, according to the press release.
Newly announced today are Requisitions, FBC: Firebreak's battle pass-style system that will let you geꦉt your hands on new gear and cosmetics.
The standard Requisitions will include weapons, equipment, armor, sprays, and other good stuff that you can earn simply by playing the game, while the Classified Requisitions will need to be purchased using real-world currency. Those include things like armor set꧙s, custom voice packs, sprays, and weapon skins. Remedy assured fans none of these purchases will 𝐆affect gameplay in any way.
The studio also said there won't be any limited-time windows or ro🍸tating ꦉstores using FOMO to incentivize players to bust out their wallets, which is nice. "If an item is added in the game, it's always available," reads the press release.
Finally, the Deluxe Edition of Firebreak is $50 and includes two premium voice packs, the Firestarter armor set, the Scorched Remnant double-barrel shotgun skin, the Golden Firebreak spray, and one Classified Requisition💝 that comes with 36 unlockable cosmetics including weapon skins, sprays, and armor sets. Base game players can upgrade to the Dওeluxe Edition for $10.
After earning an 𒈔English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while free𝔍lancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
