Remedy and 505 Games have announced the studio's first multiplayer title, FBC: Firebreak, set in the Control universe.

  • Remedy and 505 Games unveiled a brand-new game during the October Xbox Partner Preview showcase.
  • The game, titled FBC: Firebreak, is Remedy's first attempt at making a multiplayer title and is set within the Federal Bureau of Control as it is taken to siege by otherworldly forces.
