Last year’s co-op shooter FBC: Firebreak will no longer receive new content or updates. The price of the game has been reduced and the Friend Pass has been introduced.
Finnish studio Remedy hasn’t found success with its co-op shooter FBC: Firebreak. Although they launched it on both Game Pass and PS Plus, players simply weren’t interested in cooperative shooting in the world of Control.
Therefore, Remedy has decided not to actively develop the game anymore. That’s how it was launched today last updatecalled Open House. However, this does not mean that the game is shutting down. Remedy says they will keep the servers alive “for years to come”. And all players who want to try the game will be met in two ways.
First of all, the price of FBC: Firebreak is now permanently reduced – halved from 40 euros to 20 euros. Additionally, the game now features a so-called Friend Pass. This means that by buying the game you get two invitations that you can share with othersso three players can play FBC: Firebreak cooperatively with only one purchased copy.
“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who played, supported and shared feedback on FBC: Firebreak. As Remedy’s first online multiplayer game and our first self-published title, this has been quite a journey for the studio and a valuable learning experience for everyone involved.” – they said from Remedy.
Currently, Remedy is preparing two single-player games: Control Resonant and Max Payne 1&2 Remake.
