FBC: Firebreak is a 3-player cooperative first-person shooter set within the enigmatic Federal Bureau of Control (FBC).

As the Bureau’s headquarters faces a deadly and prolonged siege by otherworldly forces, only Firebreak—its most adaptable response unit—has the skills and courage to restore order. FBC: Firebreak is scheduled to release in 2025 for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

 
Wow…I really don’t like this. I get they want to shift away from spooky vibes somewhat, but outside of the Hiss/The Oldest House this really doesn’t feel tied to Control. The weapons, movement, silly vibes is a miss for me.

I know this is the first trailer, the tone isn’t something I’m personally vibing with. I going to watch this at the very least.
 
Not the tone I was expecting, but I’ll definitely be giving it a go since it’s on game pass. I like the idea of facing The Hiss as someone without all of Jesse’s powers, adds another layer of horror/helplessness.

The tone is just marketing, and we don’t know enough at this point to know whether this is how the game will actually feel. Might not even be canon and be revealed all to just be a game mode on Shüm
 
But... but... I don't wanna shoot. I wanna throw stuff at people. I freaking love throwing things at people!
 
It looks really fun but I wish the characters and weapons had more of a swat team/mobile task force vibe... A big thing for me was the brutalist utilitarian design of the agency's equipment, I hate this scrappy punk style...
