Alan Wake and Control developer Remedy has revealed FBC: Firebreak, a three-player co-op multiplayer spin-off set in the same universe.
A trailer shown tonight during the Xbox Partner Preview showcase gave us a first look at gameplay. You play as first responders within the familiar Federal Bureau of Control, revisiting areas seen in Control within The Oldest House.
FBC: Firebreak will be Remedy’s first ever foray into multiplayer, and will receive regular updates post-launch. It is not intended to be a ‘game as a service’, though, Remedy communication director Thomas Puha told Xbox Wire.
“We have always done single-player games at Remedy, and rest assured, we have more single-player games in development, and they will be awesome,” Puha said. “But for a long time we have wanted to make a PvE multiplayer game. There are loads of us here who love multiplayer besides single player. We don’t want to be doing the same types of games all the time; it’s good to take on new challenges.”
