by

Summary

  • FBC: Firebreak will serve as a side-story bridging Control and its upcoming sequel, letting players team up to confront the Hiss in the Oldest House.
  • Players won’t control Jesse Faden in Firebreak, but she may appear as a support character that will give out assignments and missions.
  • Fans found an Easter egg on FBC: Firebreak’s website hinting at Jesse’s presence, sparking speculation and excitement among the community.

Enthusiasts eagerly awaiting Remedy’s upcoming multiplayer cooperative shooter, titled “FBC: Firebreak“, have stumbled upon an intriguing hint on the game’s official website, suggesting that Jesse Faden might appear as a non-playable character. Since there hasn’t been much information about “FBC: Firebreak” beyond its trailer reveal, fans have had ample opportunity to speculate about how aspects from the universe of “Control” could intertwine with the upcoming game, which is expected to take place within the Oldest House.

The forthcoming game titled “FBC: Firebreak” isn’t a direct follow-up to “Control“, but rather an independent story that appears to fill in gaps between “Control” and its future sequel. Although we may have to wait for some years, it’s confirmed that “Control 2” is indeed being developed. Interestingly, Remedy Entertainment subtly hinted at this upcoming title in the Lake House DLC of “Alan Wake 2}”, much like how a teaser for “Alan Wake 2}” was embedded in the AWE DLC of “Control” back in early 2020.

Interested fans looking forward to gaining more insights about the game “Firebreak: FBC” might consider signing up for its official newsletter through the website. It’s on this same site where user AkeeRDT stumbled upon an intriguing Easter egg, which was promptly shared within the online community. In keeping with Firebreak tradition, some parts of the text under the newsletter section are blacked out, but highlighting the text in your browser reveals the hidden words beneath. The website hints that subscribing to the newsletter will provide fans with exclusive updates such as “messages from Director Faden” and “intriguing details about the Oldest House.” This leaves fans speculating about Jesse Faden’s role in “Firebreak: FBC”.

How FBC: Firebreak Aims To Create Something New Out of The Old

The official unveiling of the game has made it clear that Firebreak will unfold within the Oldest House, an ancient and fluid location of power that serves as both the base of operations for the Federal Bureau of Control and the backdrop for Control. Although the trailer for the reveal provided glimpses of familiar locations from the initial game, like the Black Rock Quarry gateway, it seems reasonable to expect that players will have the opportunity to discover new zones in Firebreak due to the Oldest House’s ability to shift and generate fresh extradimensional thresholds, possibly as a result of events that transpired since Control.

In Firebreak, it appears players won’t embody Jesse Faden, the protagonist from Control, but rather, they’ll take on roles as members of a special forces unit mandated to eliminate the remaining Hiss presence within The Oldest House. It’s probable that Director Faden will still be involved in some capacity within the game, with many speculating she might serve as a supportive character who assigns tasks and missions directly to the players.
