Remedy Posts Staggering Loss of Revenue After FBC: Firebreak’s Underwhelming Launch

If the dour performance and lowered long-term sales forecast of FBC: Firebreak weren’t bad enough, Remedy Entertainment revealed a significant loss in revenue and operating profit in its latest Business Review. Encompassing the period from July 1st to September 31st, 2025, the company announced EUR 12.2 million in revenue, a 32 percent decrease.

Meanwhile, operating profit (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes or EBIT) reached EUR -16.4 million, with a -135.1 percent operating profit margin. Such is the impact of Firebreak’s disappointing performance, which resulted in a non-cash impairment of EUR 14.9 million. Following the company’s updated outlook, CEO Tero Virtala, who spent nine years in the position, stepped down.

Cash flow from operations reached EUR 11.3 million for the quarter. However, there’s no doubt pressure for future titles to perform above and beyond expectations.

Fortunately, Control 2’s development is on track as of August 2025, while Max Payne 1 and 2 Remake is in full production. Neither title has a release date, but Remedy confirmed that the sequel to its successful 2019 action-adventure would be an action RPG.

As for FBC: Firebreak, it’s still set to receive its next Title Update in late November, which introduces the rogue-like Endless Shift mode and voice chat. The third major update arrives in March 2026 with a new Crisis Kit, but that could very well be it.
