- Control Spinoff FBC Firebreak Has Its Last Major Update - 18 March 2026
Set in the universe of its close cousin Control, FBC Firebreak is getting its last major content update and a permanently discounted price. The developers behind FBC Firebreak , Remedy Entertainment, have confirmed that after this update, the game will receive no other content. The good news is that FBC Firebreak won’t fall into the pit that so many other online games have fallen into, meaning that Remedy has given the game support so it can run for years to come, independently. “We want to make sure those moments can continue for the players who are already here, and for anyone else looking for a high-energy, low-pressure game night with friends.” Said Game Director Mike Kayatta in the official press release.“That’s why the relay servers are staying up, the price is going down, and a Friend’s Pass is going in. From all of us on the team, thank you for your own passion and experimentati…

- Two genres and seven years on, Remedy attempt to define what a Control game even is in the lead-up to Resonant - 5 March 2026
What is a Control game? It's a fairly reasonable question to ask, as the only follow-up there's been to the original 2019 game in the intervening years (apart from some DLC) was FBC: Firebreak , a live service FPS spin-off that… well, you know . And then last year Remedy revealed what was long dubbed to be Control 2 is actually Control Resonant , and that we won't be playing as Jesse this time around, oh and also, it's a Devil May Cry -esque action game. So with all these shifts, in a new interview some of the leads behind the sequel have shared their perspective on what a Control game actually is. Read more

- Rogue Protocol Update Out Now + Patch Notes - 19 January 2026
I’m happy to announce that Rogue Protocol, the latest free update for FBC: Firebreak, is now available. It features Endless Shift, a brand-new, roguelite game mode that fundamentally changes the way you play and progress in the game. Firebreakers risk their lives with each deployment but never has that risk been so extreme as it is in Endless Shift, the most dangerous (and most important) work a Firebreaker can do. In Endless Shift, you’ll be tasked with descending into abandoned areas of the Oldest House so infected with Hiss that the zones themselves, along with all who dare enter them, become distorted over time. During a Shift, your and your crew’s job is to clear as many waves of enemies as you can before becoming overwhelmed, collecting a new currency called Corruption for every kill along the way. Corruption can then be spent between waves to gain powerful new Enhancements for yo…
