About

The game, titled “Firebreak”, is a cooperative first-person shooter, set within a secretive federal agency that’s under attack by extraterrestrial forces. As the longstanding siege on the agency’s headquarters reaches its climax, it’s only the Firebreak team—the Bureau’s most adaptable unit—equipped with the necessary tools and courage, who can venture into the building’s bizarre emergencies, reestablish order, and fight their way out of the imminent crisis.

Key Features

  • Paranatural Pandemonium – Dive into the Federal Bureau of Control’s (FBC) unpredictable and extradimensional headquarters during its darkest—and strangest—hours. As one of the FBC’s fearless first responders, you and your team are on call to confront everything from reality-warping anomalies to otherworldly monsters… no matter the odds. Will you contain the chaos or finally lose control?
  • Cooperative Chaos – Join forces with friends or strangers to tackle each mission as a well-oiled crew. Survival in this three-player cooperative FPS hinges on quick thinking and seamless teamwork as you scramble to tame raging paranatural crises across a variety of unexpected locations. Improve your odds by utilizing the tools and skills that make you unique or improvising with whatever’s on hand to support your crew.
  • Beyond Bullets – Before deploying, select your weapon and customize your Firebreaker’s Crisis Kit with specialized tools, grenades, support items, and paranatural augments… then modify them to suit your strategy and change the way you play. Experiment with different loadouts to perfect your playstyle and synergize with your team, giving you the edge to succeed in every mission, no matter the difficulty.
  • The Federal Bureau of Control – Return to the strange and unexpected world of Control or venture in for the first time in this standalone, multiplayer experience.
