Remedy Entertainment has disclosed the official release date for FBC: Firebreak’s Breakpoint update, set to launch on September 29. The update promises various improvements, including a revamped tutorial designed to assist newcomers.
In the same universe as Control, FBC: Firebreak was initially introduced in June but did not meet sales expectations despite rapidly gaining over a million players within a week. Critics offered mixed reviews, praising its storytelling and class system, but they critiqued the gameplay loop and lack of variety.

The upcoming update will implement significant changes aimed at enhancing the gaming experience by increasing variety and depth. Among the new features is the Crisis Board, which replaces the former Job Board, offering curated content with random rewards and refreshed objectives every 30 minutes. Furthermore, a new tutorial level named “Orientation” will provide voiceover guidance to introduce players to the game mechanics.
Other additions include the Outbreak crisis, which introduces new locations and enemies, and includes new weapons, grenades, and customization options to enhance gameplay. The update is also anticipated to overhaul the game’s economy and progression systems, alongside systemic improvements addressing various gameplay elements.
Overall, these updates hope to revive interest in FBC: Firebreak, which has struggled to maintain a stable player base since its launch.
