Remedy has officially announced that FBC: Firebreak will launch on June 17, 2025. This eagerly anticipated game is set within the immersive universe of Control and offers a session-based, multiplayer PvE experience. Players will dive into replayable missions, referred to as Jobs, each presenting unique challenges, objectives, and environments that demand teamwork and adaptability.
FBC: Firebreak is slated for release across multiple platforms, including PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X and S, and PlayStation 5, priced at $39.99 / €39.99 / £32.99. Excitingly, it will be available from day one on PC Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate, and the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog (Extra and Premium). This marks Remedy's inaugural self-published venture.
In addition to the standard edition, Remedy unveiled the FBC: Firebreak Deluxe Edition, which retails for $49.99 / €49.99 / £39.99. This edition boasts a range of exclusive cosmetics and premium voice packs. Owners of the base game can upgrade to the Deluxe Edition for an additional $10 / €10 / £7.
The Deluxe Edition includes:
- “The Firestarter” Premium Voice Pack
- “The Pencil Pusher” Premium Voice Pack
- Firestarter Armor Set, Apex Revision (Helmet, Body Armor, Gloves)
- Scorched Remnant Double-Barrel Shotgun Skin
- Golden Firebreak Spray
- Classified Requisition: “Firestarter”: A collection of 36 unlockable cosmetic items including weapon skins, sprays, and armor sets
According to the official description:
FBC: Firebreak introduces Requisitions, a system that rewards players with new gear and cosmetics simply by playing the game. Requisitions can include weapons, equipment, armor, sprays, and more - all unlockable using in-game currency earned through gameplay. There are no limited-time windows or rotating stores; if an item is added in the game, it’s always available.
For those who want additional customization options, Classified Requisitions offer premium cosmetic items - such as armor sets, custom voice packs, sprays, and weapon skins. Classified Requisitions are purchased with real money. The items are purely cosmetic, have no gameplay impact, and will remain available permanently. Read more about how Requisitions work here.
Remedy has committed to ongoing support for FBC: Firebreak post-launch, promising two new Jobs in 2025 and further updates in 2026. All new playable content, including Jobs, will be free to all players. While cosmetics can be purchased, Remedy assures that these items will not affect gameplay and there will be no limited-time rotations or daily log-ins.
Amidst a bustling lineup of projects, Remedy is not only focusing on FBC: Firebreak but also working on Control 2 and the Max Payne and Max Payne 2 remake compilation.
