Remedy Entertainment, the esteemed Finnish video game developer celebrated for its engaging storytelling and immersive gaming worlds, has officially announced the highly anticipated release date for its inaugural self-published title, FBC: Firebreak. Set to launch on June 17, 2025, this game is poised to deliver a unique co-op gaming experience that has drawn significant interest from fans and newcomers alike.

In addition to revealing the release date, Remedy has provided further insights into FBC: Firebreak, including exciting plans for post-launch content, a Deluxe Edition, and various features designed to enhance player engagement. For those unfamiliar with this new offering, FBC: Firebreak is a three-player cooperative adventure set within the supernatural universe crafted by Remedy, which is also home to critically acclaimed titles such as Control and Alan Wake.

This game marks a departure from Remedy's traditional narrative-driven approach, instead embracing a framework centered around replayable missions termed Jobs. Players will assume the roles of agents employed by the Federal Bureau of Control, stepping into a world filled with rich lore and immersive gameplay. This strategic shift is intended to broaden Remedy's audience and promote collaborative play, as players work together to unravel the mysteries of the games universe.

A particularly noteworthy aspect of FBC: Firebreak is its design as a live service game. Remedy plans to keep the community connected and engaged long after the initial launch through regular free updates that introduce new content. Players can anticipate a comprehensive system for unlocking cosmetic items through gameplay, alongside optional purchases. Furthermore, Remedy has announced the implementation of a permanent battle pass that allows players to progress at their leisure, without the stress of limited-time offers.

Within this immersive game, players will find two categories of unlockable content called Requisitions. Regular Requisitions encompass a wide array of items, including weapons, gear, and cosmetic upgrades that players can earn through in-game currency known as Lost Assets. This user-friendly system is designed to promote sustained engagement, enabling gamers to unlock desired items at a comfortable pace.

Conversely, Classified Requisitions feature premium cosmetic items that can be acquired with real money. These luxuries, ranging from distinctive armor sets to unique weapon skins and sprays, are purely aesthetic and do not influence gameplay mechanics. This monetization strategy aims to strike a balance between financial viability and player satisfaction.

Alongside the standard edition, Remedy has also announced a Deluxe Edition of FBC: Firebreak, priced at $49.99. This exclusive edition grants players access to a selection of unique items crafted to enrich the gaming experience:

  • 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 set of 36 unlockable cosmetic items, including weapon skins, sprays, and armor sets.

Players can look forward to experiencing FBC: Firebreak on multiple platforms, including PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Notably, the game will be available as a day-one title in Microsoft's PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, as well as in the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium catalogs. This accessibility aims to ensure that a wider audience can enjoy the game right from its launch.
