In its first livestream for FBC: Firebreak, Remedy Entertainment announced that the co-op shooter will launch on June 17th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC for $39.99. It’s also included with Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra/Premium on day one.
FBC: Firebreak takes place six years after control, with The Oldest House still in lockdown after an invasion by The Hiss. With supplies dwindling, the Firebreak Initiative forms, and various regular office workers embark on dangerous Jobs to defeat the Hiss.
Whether taking out self-replicating Sticky Notes in the Executive Sector or dealing with an out-of-control furnace in the Maintenance Sector, you can select the Clearance and Threat Levels for each Job. The former dictates the difficulty, while the latter affects the number of zones and complexity of objectives.
There are three Crisis Kits available on top of Altered Augments to modify them, but players also have various firearms to rely on. You can also customize characters with “dozens” of Perks. Stay tuned for more details en route to the game’s launch.
