Remedy Entertainment has announced the end of support for FBC: Firebreak, its intriguing but ultimately disappointing co-op shooter set in the Control universe.
The last major update, Open House, is now live with no further playable content planned, even though patches will continue to roll out. Servers will remain online, however, with the assurance that it will “continue to be playable for years to come.” “We have done engineering work to ensure we can sustain the upkeep of the relay servers when the player volume is lower.”
It’s also dropping the base game’s price to $19.99 (down from $39.99) while the Deluxe Edition will cost $29.99 (previously $49.99). A Friend’s Pass has also been added, allowing you to invite and play with friends for free. They’ll need to download the Friends Pass version (listed as “Free Trial”) for the same, and it’s cross-platform.
As for the new content, Endless Shift will receive five new arenas based on Control – the Executive Sector’s Cafeteria, the Maintenance Sector’s Aircon Room, Ranger HQ and Turntable, and the Research Sector’s Ritual Lobby. Several balance adjustments have also been made, with Harmful Conditions having a shorter duration and Perks only needing to be equipped once to obtain their highest level.
Crawling speed is also faster when downed, while revive speed is now three seconds instead of five. Check out all the other changes here.
While this is the end of Firebreak, the story will continue in Control Resonant. Launching later in 2026, it takes place seven years after the first game and focuses on Dylan Faden, Jesse’s brother, as he explores a Manhattan engulfed in a paranatural catastrophe.
