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.
We have a quick update to share about what’s next for FBC: Firebreak.
Cross-platform voice chat is available now across all platforms - a long-requested feature that lets you coordinate with your squad no matter where you play. You can read the patch notes here.
While we’re excited to roll that out today, the Rogue Protocol Major Update, originally planned to launch alongside it still needs a bit more time. We’re now aiming to release Rogue Protocol in January 2026.
As we mentioned in the September roadmap, this update will include a completely new game mode. The extra time will help us make sure everything feels right: polished, balanced, and worthy of your time.
But since we know many of you are eager to see what’s coming next, here’s a small glimpse into that new mode.
Endless Shift
As the influence of the Hiss continues to rise across the Oldest House, multiple sectors are nearing collapse. Inside these dangerous and infected places, nothing is immune to the chaotic warping caused by the corruption, not even Firebreak.
Firebreakers are sent into these sealed arenas and tasked with holding the line for as long as they can - an assignment known as an Endless Shift.
Each Endless Shift drops you and your team into a sealed arena where waves of enemies grow tougher with every round. You always start with only the bare essentials to fight with. After each wave, you’ll collect Corruption, a strange residue left behind by defeated enemies. This energy can be spent between rounds to unlock powerful upgrades, weapons, and enhancements, letting you shape a completely new build every run.
Some upgrades amplify your weapon’s raw power, others twist your abilities in unexpected ways and stacking them can lead to wild, game-breaking synergies. Every choice matters: do you gamble your Corruption on another reroll for something even better, or take what you have and push on?
The deeper you go, the more distorted the battlefield becomes. Expect new enemy combinations, elite foes, and the kind of escalating chaos that rewards teamwork, improvisation, and a little bit of madness.
Endless Shift has its own exclusive rewards and some of the more weirder corruptions you gain in the mode linger with you, meaning you can use them when playing the next Crisis from the Crisis Board, connecting the new game mode to the main game in a cool way.
That’s all we’ll say for now. Thank you for your patience, and for continuing to support FBC: Firebreak. We’re working hard to make Endless Shift worth the wait.
Stay vigilant,
The FBC: Firebreak Team
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 coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam / Epic Games Store) on June 17, 2025.
