Oct 18, 2024 4:09 PM

FBC: Firebreak, a new cooperative first-person shooter set in the Control universe, is making its debut on both PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass on launch day. This unique move by Remedy Entertainment, which has only been successfully pulled off by one other game recently, aims to attract a larger player base by offering simultaneous access on both platforms. FBC: Firebreak promises to be a user-friendly game that avoids the complexity of traditional live service models while still including deep player progression features. Players will engage in thrilling three-player co-op gameplay against otherworldly forces using advanced abilities known as 'paranatural augments'.

What is FBC: Firebreak about?

FBC: Firebreak is a three-player cooperative first-person shooter that takes place within a secret federal agency under siege by supernatural entities, existing as a spin-off of the Control universe. Players will enjoy a streamlined gaming experience focusing on teamwork and action without the burden of extensive setup or daily login chores.

Control, developed by Remedy Entertainment, is a critically acclaimed action-adventure game that blends supernatural elements with a gripping narrative. Known for its distinctive art style and engaging gameplay mechanics, Control sets the stage for FBC: Firebreak by immersing players in a complex world filled with mystery and unique abilities. Fans of the original game can look forward to exploring new dimensions of the Control universe in this upcoming title.
