FBC: Firebreak livestream next week promises „exciting news”

by

In the latest reveal, Remedy Entertainment unveiled a trailer for their forthcoming shooter, FBC: Firebreak. Set within the same universe as Remedy’s other games such as Alan Wake 2 and Control, a trio of adventurers delve into the Federal Bureau of Control to tackle an array of abnormalities. The gameplay demonstrated thus far indicates that although it fits comfortably within the typical multiplayer shooter genre, it retains Remedy’s distinctive eccentricity.

FBC: Firebreak’s new trailer shares plans for a livestream next week

The latest trailer, named “Hazards of the Job,” concludes by revealing an upcoming “special live broadcast” on April 24th. During this broadcast, gamers can anticipate learning more about FBC: Firebreak. The live stream is said to contain “new material and thrilling updates.” Given that a release period has been set for Summer 2025, it’s possible they might reveal a more precise release date during the event. Could it also be possible to hear news about FBC: Firebreak being released on Switch 2? It wouldn’t be entirely implausible since some third-party developers of Switch 2 have suggested that the new console performs at par with a mid-range PC.

Previously delayed due to tariffs, U.S. pre-orders for the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 were announced again today. The recent Switch 2 Direct presentation revealed a feature that had been widely speculated: mouse compatibility, which is being incorporated into games such as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Civilization VII, and others. This new functionality could potentially be beneficial for bringing games traditionally played with a mouse and keyboard to the new console, particularly shooters and strategy games. While we shouldn’t jump to conclusions, the inclusion of this feature suggests that FBC: Firebreak, a game that may eventually come to the Nintendo platform, could be one such example.

Earlier previews showcased an unusual situation – an overabundance of sticky notes, one among several playable missions. The objective is to declutter the office as the sticky notes keep reproducing, eventually obstructing a player’s screen. If a player meets their demise while enveloped in sticky notes, they will respawn as a sticky-note-constructed humanoid adversary. This latest trailer hints at a mission involving a pink goo spreading throughout the office, a fire-extinguishing weapon, and a moment where a player uses a fire sprinkler to quench flames that threaten them.

Looking forward to April 24th, when Remedy’s livestream for FBC: Firebreak is set to begin at 10:00 AM Pacific Time on their Twitch channel, as we eagerly anticipate more revelations about the game. FBC: Firebreak, which is slated for a summer release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store, will offer a free play experience to PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
