Today, Remedy Entertainment unveiled a new gameplay trailer for FBC: Firebreak, a three-player co-op FPS where the Federal Bureau of Control’s first-response unit must contain an escalating paranatural threat.

When the Oldest House, the Bureau’s shifting headquarters, falls under siege by a relentless paranatural force, only Firebreak – its most adaptable response unit – has the skills and courage to restore order.

Launching in summer 2025, FBC: Firebreak is Remedy Entertainment’s first self-published game and will be available on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A mid-priced title, FBC: Firebreak will also be available day one via PC Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate, and PlayStation Plus Game Catalog (Extra and Premium).

FBC: Firebreak is a session-based, multiplayer PvE experience set within the acclaimed Control universe, delivering intense cooperative action. The game features highly replayable missions known as Jobs, each uniquely designed with different challenges, objectives, and environments that require teamwork and adaptability.

The latest trailer showcases one such Job, Paper Chase, where an outbreak of rogue sticky notes in the Executive Sector of the Oldest House – seemingly harmless at first – spirals into a full-blown paranatural crisis. Players must push through three escalating zones, culminating in a chaotic showdown against a towering, gargantuan manifestation of these anomalies.

Before diving into a Job, players choose their Crisis Kit. Crisis Kits shape each Firebreaker’s playstyle, providing distinct weapons, tools, and powerful reality-bending augments that can turn the tide of a mission.

Jump Kit – Focused on electricity-based abilities, excelling in field control and mobility.
Fix Kit – A heavy-hitting kit built around impact-based attacks, including a massive wrench.
Splash Kit – A water-based kit specializing in manipulating battlefield conditions and supporting teammates.

Remedy will continue expanding FBC: Firebreak with post-launch content. All future playable content, including new Jobs, will be free. Players will have the option to purchase cosmetics, but none of these items will affect gameplay, and there will be no limited-time rotations or daily log-ins. More details will be shared in the future.

Watch the FBC: Firebreak Community First Look – Jobs & Gameplay video

Remedy will host a special community AMA on the FBC: Firebreak Steam page on March 31 at 9 AM PST / 5 PM GMT / 7 PM EET, offering fans a chance to learn more about the game, its systems, and future plans.

Publisher The Arcade Crew (Infernax, Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider, Cross Blitz) and developer DoubleMoose, a Swedish studio founded by former Coffee Stain developers, have announced the first demo for Abyssus will be arriving on Steam soon. Abyssus is a fast-paced one to four player co-op roguelike FPS where the secrets of an underwater civilization whisper from the shadows; learn to blast your way out or risk falling victim to its guardians. Abyssus’ full release will arrive on PC via Steam this year (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1721110/Abyssus/).

Plunge into today’s trailer for a glimpse at the core of Abyssus’ exciting action, as well as the potential lurking within its weapons customization system:

The design of Abyssus’ co-operative combat is inspired in part by DoubleMoose’s frequent sessions of playing Deep Rock Galactic, Warhammer 2: Vermintide and Gunfire Reborn together as a studio.

Brinehunters can wield a range of versatile, deadly weapons in upcoming’s demo, showcased within today’s trailer:

The Brinerevolver: A masterfully crafted semi-automatic sidearm designed for reliable critical strikes. Built for precision and power, the primary fire mode excels in close-quarters combat, delivering consistent damage to deal with nearby enemies, while the secondary fire lets you pick off distant foes while aiming down its sight.
The Engine Rifle: A powerhouse of the depths, the Engine Rifle earns its name from its fiery temper. Use your secondary weapon to rev the engine into overdrive, unleashing bursts of raw power while pushing heat levels to the brink.
The Shotgun: A true staple of any FPS arsenal, this powerhouse is built for delivering sheer devastation at close range. Unleash a relentless spread of bullets that tear through guardians with raw stopping power.

Survival in Abyssus depends on your ability to adapt and evolve your arsenal. Before each expedition, craft the perfect loadout by using workbenches. Along the way, you will unlock alternate firing modes that amplify your weapons’ destructive power to match the escalating threat. Enhance the Engine Rifle with a Concentrated Shot mod, delivering a powerful knockback effect to enemies, or modify the Brinrevolver with the Quick Scope mod, offering an increase in damage after aiming through its scope. With the right upgrades, the abyss becomes yours to conquer.

In Abyssus, Brinehunters are sent to scour the ocean floor to investigate a powerful electromagnetic source, a journey leading the crew to an ancient, sunken city. Explore the ruins of this forgotten civilization to discover its secrets while fighting through corrupted hordes of enemies with weapons made of ancient tech that deliver responsive feedback, making each shot feel precise and impactful.

Amid high-octane multiplayer action, the Brinehunters must utilize the vast weapon modifications and ancient artifacts to adjust their playstyle to stay alive and return to the surface. Explorers can enter the abyss solo or venture in with up to 3 friends in co-op. The rewarding progression loop will satisfy veterans of the genre while remaining accessible to newcomers, both of whom will find themselves sinking countless hours into obtaining every mod, artifact, and ability hidden throughout the fascinating and dangerous civilization.
