FBC: Fibreak Closed Technical Alpha Takes Place This Weekend

You can register for this event using the provided link, requiring your email address. However, registration does not guarantee admission to the closed Technical Test, which will be held from May 15th (6 am PDT / 9 am PDT / 2 pm BST) until May 19th (1:59 pm PDT / 4:49 EDT / 9:59 pm).

As explained by Remedy, since the technical test is closed and has a limited capacity, simply signing up doesn’t automatically grant access. If you are chosen, you will be provided with a key for the platform of your choice – Steam, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X|S – once available.

If you’re not acquainted with FBC: Firebreak, it’s a thrilling three-player cooperative first-person shooter that takes place in the world of Control. According to Remedy, this game is set within a federal agency under siege by otherworldly forces. After years of relentless attacks on the agency’s headquarters, only Firebreak – a highly adaptable unit – has the necessary equipment and courage to tackle the most peculiar crises within the building, restore order, contain the chaos, and battle to regain control.

Remedy, famous for creating immersive single-player games like Alan Wake and Control, is venturing into new territory with FBC: Firebreak. So far, it seems that the studio is choosing to avoid typical live-service elements, which many fans will likely appreciate.

If you’re eagerly anticipating a new single-player game from Remedy, there’s already been an announcement for Control 2, but details are still under wraps, indicating it may be some time before its release. Regarding Alan Wake, it seems likely that we’ll eventually get Alan Wake 3, although it’s also years away from being launched and might not even appear on current-generation consoles. However, the silver lining is that Remedy confirmed earlier this year that Alan Wake 2 has begun earning royalties, implying the game has become profitable.

On June 17th, Firebreak is set to launch for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, following in the footsteps of Remedy Entertainment’s string of highly praised titles.
