by

In a surprising turn of events, it seems that Firebreak: Control’s Spin-off might not just be unrelated to the original game, Control, but could actually share a deeper connection, as suggested by an observant fan. An Easter egg hidden on the official site for Firebreak: Control’s Spin-off hints that Jesse Faden, the main character from Control, is poised to play a substantial part in the narrative, even if she won’t be a player-controlled character.

In an unexpected twist for developer Remedy Entertainment, who are renowned for their intricate action-based and horror narratives, the upcoming game FBC: Firebreak serves as a spin-off bridging the gap between Control and its sequel, Control 2. This venture into online cooperative gaming is not typically associated with Remedy’s style. As the studio expands its interconnected universe by linking titles like Alan Wake and Control, the setting of FBC: Firebreak for Control 2 leaves many wondering about Jesse’s part, particularly since it’s been confirmed she will feature in some capacity.

Jesse Faden’s Role in FBC: Firebreak is Bound to Be Significant

The Easter egg found was spotted by Reddit user AkeeRDT. On the main page for the game ‘FBC: Firebreak’, there is an invitation to sign up for the game’s newsletter, promising exclusive updates. Part of the offer appears to have been censored, but AkeeRDT noticed that highlighting the hidden text reveals Jesse Faden’s name. When the concealed section is unveiled, the FBC briefing changes to, “Be the first to receive the latest news, updates, and directives from Director Faden.” This could mean that Jesse might only appear in the newsletters, but it also suggests that she may play a substantial role within the game as well.

FBC: Firebreak is the first self-published game from Remedy Entertainment.

Jesse’s Role as FBC Director Brings Fun Gameplay Possibilities

In the game FBC: Firebreak, there are multiple roles that character Jesse could potentially fill. It’s clear from the newsletter teaser that she will provide updates and dispatches. However, it appears she might also serve as an in-game guide, distributing missions and assignments. Whether she assists with initial tutorials on gameplay or communicates during objectives, it seems Jesse’s involvement is inevitable. There remain many unanswered questions about FBC: Firebreak, but AkeeRDT’s recent discovery suggests that Jesse could be a crucial component of the storyline puzzle.

Everything Confirmed About FBC: Firebreak

  • Takes place at the climax of a “years-long siege” of the Federal Bureau of Control
  • First-person co-op
  • Three-person squads
  • Planned to launch in 2025

Despite the details provided, the Firebreak project (FBC) continues to be enshrouded in mystery. This significant shift from Remedy’s typical single-player approach is intriguing, yet leaves many wondering about the potential longevity of a multiplayer game within the Control universe. Given the wildly eccentric nature of the Control lore, it’s plausible that FBC: Firebreak is brimming with peculiar missions and supernatural entities waiting to be uncovered.

The latest sneak peek at Firebreak confirms that its storyline returns to The Oldest House, offering an exciting chance for the game to delve into areas of this ancient building that were unexplored in the original Control title.

The exact role Jesse Faden plays within this narrative is yet to be clarified, but AkeeRDT’s recent discovery suggests she could be one of the central figures guiding players throughout their journey. Given her position as Director of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), she seems ideally suited for a leading role in providing direction. Remedy Entertainment’s talent for unexpected plot developments and the undetermined release date of FBC: Firebreak only adds to the game’s enigma, making it all the more intriguing. The moment that first multiplayer title in the interconnected Remedy universe launches will be captivating, as we’ll then get to witness its impact on the storyline of Control.
