Control spin-off FBC: Firebreak's latest trailer brings extradimensional furnaces and exploding pink goo
As part of tonight’s Galaxies Gaming Showcase, developer Remedy Entertainment has shown off a little more of its upcoming three-player co-op Control spin-off, FBC: Firebreak, with a more substantial reveal now confirmed to be airing next Thursday, 24th April.
FBC: Firebreak, for the uninitiated, casts players as members of the Federal Bureau of Control’s Firebreak division, a team of volunteer first responders charged with roaming the ever-changing Oldest House and keeping its unconfined paranatural anomalies in check.
When last we saw FBC: Firebreak, Remedy was showing off a mission involving a rampant spread of sentient Post-It notes, but its latest trailer – which maintains the same quippy tone – goes all in on rampaging furnaces and an outbreak of pink exploding goo (AKA Exogenic Mass) as players attempt to regain control of the Oldest House’s Maintenance Sector.
These are just two more of the otherworldly hazards players may face as their team embarks on new Jobs at the behest of FBC uppermanagement, each chaotic mission taking them to different areas of the Oldest House – some familiar and some new – and featuring different mechanics, enemies, objectives, and even status-effect-style conditions.
