Remedy Enthusiasts Need to Mark Their Calendars for March 20

Remedy is stirring up excitement with news set to be unveiled about their forthcoming multiplayer shooter, FBC: Firebreak. Mark your calendars for March 20, 2025, when the Future Games Show promises fresh insights. FBC Firebreak was first announced back in 2020, with its official confirmation arriving at the Xbox Partner Preview event in October 2024. This dynamic 3-player co-op shooter is eagerly anticipated in 2025.

The snippets of information shared with gaming enthusiasts have been tantalizing at best. Set in the expansive universe shared with Alan Wake and Control, FBC: Firebreak will have players battling against otherworldly foes as part of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC). While the exact connection to this shared universe remains a bit of a mystery, fans won’t have to wait too much longer to delve deeper into what lies ahead.

Remedy has taken to social media, confirming that an in-depth peek at FBC: Firebreak awaits during the Future Games Show on March 20, 2025, at 1 pm PDT on YouTube. Though the announcement held back specific details, it’s already whetting players’ appetites, sparking plenty of speculation about what surprises Remedy might have in store.

Anticipation is definitely building around the Future Games event. FBC: Firebreak, with its multiplayer-centric gameplay and first-person perspective, is set to break away from Remedy’s established style. Gamers are undoubtedly curious to see how this new title will weave itself into the intricate web of Control and Alan Wake’s universe.

As FBC: Firebreak moves closer to its 2025 release, players are hopeful for a comprehensive showcase of the game’s plot and features, maybe even a concrete release window. Excitingly, it’s already confirmed that PS Plus Extra subscribers will be able to dive in as soon as it launches, with Xbox Game Pass for Console and Game Pass PC getting it as a day-one release too.

FBC: Firebreak isn’t the only project on the horizon from the Finnish studio—a remake of the classic Max Payne is also in production and promises to combine the first two games into a cohesive narrative experience. This will surely be a treat for longtime fans.

FBC: Firebreak sets the stage for an adrenaline-pumping cooperative first-person shooter where paranormal and interdimensional threats run wild within the FBC’s enigmatic headquarters. Whether you’re a seasoned player revisiting the world of Control or a newcomer exploring it for the first time, this standalone multiplayer experience offers a fresh yet familiar adventure within the Oldest House, as a team of daring volunteers steps up to tackle its most chaotic challenges.
