"Players come into the game and leave within the first hour," says Remedy.
FBC Firebreak will concentrate on onboarding as part of a major update coming in September, Remedy has today detailed.
“We’ve seen many players come into the game and leave within the first hour. And that’s because our first hour can be frustrating; you feel ineffective and confused as to what to do,” Remedy said over on Steam. “This needs to be improved.”
An update — the game’s first major one — planned for late September will improve onboarding, as well as gunplay. It will also offer “new ways to play,” according to Remedy.
“We are replacing Clearance and Corruption Levels with pre-made, exciting (you’ll have to take our word for that for now) variations of Job experiences that can still be short or long or filled with Corrupted Items, but also a whole lot more,” Remedy said. “We are weeding out our least fun experiences, focusing on our best experiences, and adding brand new modes with plans for adding even more in the future.”
As part of the update, Remedy will also be “reevaluating our matchmaking flow, making it clearer”.
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.
