FBC: Firebreak is a cooperative first-person shooter set within a mysterious federal agency under assault by otherworldly forces. As a years-long siege on the agency’s headquarters reaches its boiling point, only Firebreak— the Bureau’s most versatile unit—has the gear and the guts to plunge into the building’s strangest crises, restore order, and blast their way back from the brink.

Dive into the Federal Bureau of Control’s (FBC) unpredictable and extradimensional headquarters during its darkest—and strangest—hours. As one of the FBC’s fearless first responders, you and your team are on call to confront everything from reality-warping anomalies to otherworldly monsters... no matter the odds. Will you contain the chaos or finally lose control?

Join forces with friends or strangers to tackle each mission as a well-oiled crew. Survival in this three-player cooperative FPS hinges on quick thinking and seamless teamwork as you scramble to tame raging paranatural crises across a variety of unexpected locations. Improve your odds by utilizing the tools and skills that make you unique or improvising with whatever’s on hand to support your crew.

FBC: Firebreak is a stand-alone experience set within a mysterious federal agency (which you might know from our earlier game, Control) where you work as a team of versatile first responders. You’ll come face to face with otherworldly monsters and paranatural hot zones where you will defuse strange and dangerous crises at their source.

You play as an ordinary person squaring off against extraordinary threats which is why you will need the right equipment. You and your team will be armed with a suite of guns, grenades, handcrafted tools, and even paranatural objects like a garden gnome that summons a lightning storm. Don’t worry, it’s all completely according to protocol.

We know that sometimes you just want to jump into a session with some friends, wreak havoc, and get out. That’s what FBC: Firebreak is about. It's quick, it’s action-packed, it’s WTF thrills in a unique world, designed to be enjoyed with your friends or complete strangers.

“FBC: Firebreak is not Control DLC and it’s definitely not a Control sequel. We’re actively avoiding coming even close to feeling like either of those things. I guess you could say that it’s a spin-off, but in the most positive sense of the word. It’s not designed to be some kind of lesser, bite-sized Control. FBC: Firebreak is its own, fully formed thing,” said Game Director Mike Kayatta.

Before deploying, select your weapon and customize your Firebreaker’s Crisis Kit with specialized tools, grenades, support items, and paranatural augments... then modify them to suit your strategy and change the way you play. Experiment with different loadouts to perfect your playstyle and synergize with your team, giving you the edge to succeed in every mission, no matter the difficulty.

Return to the strange and unexpected world of Control or venture in for the first time in this standalone, multiplayer experience. Discover the iconic and unfathomable headquarters of the FBC — the Oldest House — from an entirely new perspective as a team of volunteer first responders with nothing but gear and guts to bring the Bureau back from the brink.

FBC: Firebreak is in development for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam), scheduled for 2025.
