Remedy Entertainment Launches Major Update for FBC Firebreak

25 Sep 2025

Remedy Entertainment has released Breakpoint, the first significant update for FBC Firebreak, aimed at addressing several critical issues that surfaced after the game's initial launch. As part of the Control universe, FBC Firebreak is a cooperative multiplayer game where players act as the Federal Bureau of Control's first responders against supernatural threats.

Upon its release, the game faced numerous challenges, including game-breaking bugs, a lack of a tutorial, and repetitive mission structures, which resulted in less-than-favorable reviews. However, subsequent assessments on Steam have shown improvement, with feedback shifting to mostly positive.

Enhanced Gameplay Features

The Breakpoint update marks a turning point by replacing the old Job Board with a brand new Crisis Board. This change is designed to inject variety and dynamism into the mission presentation, moving away from the monotonous task lists of the past. Players can now experience a broader spectrum of challenges and a more engaging gameplay flow.

Among the standout features in Breakpoint is a new crisis situation set in the research sector. To complement this new gameplay dimension, three new guns have been introduced, providing players with additional options for combat strategies. Furthermore, the game now offers a fully playable tutorial and an introductory video to ease new players into the complexities of the game mechanics.

The update doesn't stop at gameplay mechanics. The user interface has undergone significant improvements, particularly to better communicate harmful conditions to players. This enhancement ensures that players can make informed decisions in the heat of battle, enhancing overall game strategy.

Another exciting addition comes in the form of new gun mods, enabling players to customize up to three mods to personalize their weaponry. This feature offers a deeper level of strategic planning, enabling players to tailor their arsenal to fit specific missions or play styles.

Future Updates Planned

Remedy Entertainment has labeled Breakpoint as "the first major step" in an ongoing process to improve FBC Firebreak. The development team has already scheduled further updates, with the next phases planned for November 2025 and March 2026. These updates promise to continue building on the foundation laid by Breakpoint, ensuring the game evolves and adapts to player needs and feedback.

Breakpoint is set to go live on Monday, September 29, 2025, and is expected to reignite interest in FBC Firebreak, drawing both new and returning players eager to experience its enhanced features and reworked content.
