Remedy's Control-based multiplayer shooter looks like a Left 4 Dead horde FPS with Helldivers 2's anti-live service vibes: "This isn't about logging in every day for some loot"

Remedy Entertainment just unveiled FBC: Firebreak at the Xbox October Partner Preview. The studio may be known for creating some of the best single-player games around – Alan Wake 2 and Control being its most recent efforts – but now the team is turning its attention to multiplayer for the first time in its 29-year history. 

FBC: Firebreak is a three-player co-op shooter set inside The Oldest House from Control. In it, you take on the roles of a fearless first responder from the Federal Bureau of Control, diving into the darkest recesses of The Oldest House to fend off para-natural threats with your friends. It's a strictly PvE affair, with communications director Thomas Puha promising that Remedy isn't pitching FBC: Firebreak as an all-consuming live service – but rather something you can dive into at your leisure.
