FBC: Firebreak is a stand-alone experience set within a mysterious federal agency (which you might know from our earlier game, Control) where you work as a team of versatile first responders. You’ll come face to face with otherworldly monsters and paranatural hot zones where you will defuse strange and dangerous crises at their source.

You play as an ordinary person squaring off against extraordinary threats which is why you will need the right equipment. You and your team will be armed with a suite of guns, grenades, handcrafted tools, and even paranatural objects like a garden gnome that summons a lightning storm. Don’t worry, it’s all completely according to protocol.

We know that sometimes you just want to jump into a session with some friends, wreak havoc, and get out. That’s what FBC: Firebreak is about. It's quick, it’s action-packed, it’s WTF thrills in a unique world, designed to be enjoyed with your friends or complete strangers.


We’re very excited to be engaging directly with the Steam community again! This is just the start for FBC: Firebreak and we’ll have a lot more to share in 2025.
