FBC Firebreak gets second major update, new roguelite mode

Welcome to Endless Shift.

FBC Firebreak has received its second major (and free!) update in “Rogue Protocol,” one that adds a new roguelite mode called Endless Shift.

“Endless Shift sends teams of Firebreakers into sealed sections of the Oldest House, where survival depends on teamwork, risk-taking, and rapid adaptation,” Remedy said in a press release.

“Each run pits squads against increasingly dangerous waves of Hiss enemies, rewarding successful combat with a new currency called Corruption. Corruption can be spent between waves to unlock Enhancements, weapons, and gear upgrades. No two runs of Endless Shift play out the same, encouraging experimentation and high-stakes decision-making from players.”

“With Endless Shift, we wanted to create a fresh experience within the game that spoke directly to the danger and selfless heroism at the heart of Firebreak while tying its gameplay into the initiative’s primary mission: holding the line against any crisis threatening the Oldest House, no matter how unpredictable,” said game director Mike Kayatta.

Celebrating this new release, FBC Firebreak will offer up double XP over 24-26 January here in Australia. The game will also be free-to-play during that time, though it already is, essentially, to those with Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus.

FBC Firebreak is available on Windows PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5, also available on all tiers of Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus.
