FBC Firebreak will receive a major update next week that “brings systemic overhauls, new action-packed content, and quality-of-life improvements, reshaping the way the game plays,” Remedy Entertainment today announced.
“We have taken a lot of feedback to heart,” Remedy said in a blog post, also promising full patch notes upon the update’s 30 September release.
“Over the summer, we have worked hard on releasing updates to the game. Still, Breakpoint is only the first major step, we know we need a few more, bringing significant improvements and new systems, as well as content, into the game, incorporating community feedback alongside our own ideas.”
Here’s the big list of changes coming as part of the update:
- Crisis Board – Replacing the Job Board and presenting curated playable content, making the game feel more dynamic, less predictable, and closer to the first-responder fantasy at the heart of the game. We want the game to show you the fun rather than ask you to hunt for it.
- ”Orientation” – A new tutorial level accompanied by onboarding improvements across the game
- Outbreak – A brand-new Crisis (formerly known as Jobs) bringing a new location, enemies, and gameplay
- Gun Mods – Brand new gun customization system bringing modifiers that make guns more powerful or change their functionality.
- New guns, grenades, cosmetics, and enemies
- Systemic improvements to harmful conditions, objectives, devices, and more
This is in addition to a major “economy & progression overhaul” that Remedy has previously detailed.
In addition to this update, Remedy has also promised two additional major updates — the next will take place in November, with a third following in March 2026.
We reviewed FBC Firebreak back in June, saying it was, “easy to start, sometimes difficult to understand, and challenging to master,” adding that it’s “nevertheless a fun little sideshow while we wait for Control 2 proper.”
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.
