Heroic Labs Celebrates the Launch of FBC: Firebreak, a three-player Co-op Shooter from Remedy Entertainment

We’re thrilled to celebrate the launch of FBC: Firebreak, the brand new co-operative multiplayer experience from acclaimed Finnish studio Remedy Entertainment!

Known for their groundbreaking single-player narratives in franchises like Max Payne, Alan Wake, and Control, Remedy has ventured into new territory with this three-player co-operative FPS set in the clandestine Federal Bureau of Control (FBC) universe. This ambitious project represents a significant evolution for the studio, expanding their storytelling expertise into the world of real-time multiplayer with the help of Heroic Lab’s Nakama, Hiro, and Satori gametech.

Remedy partnered with Heroic Labs in 2024 to help meet their rigorous technical requirements, starting with a white-glove implementation of Hiro in August of last year. Our state-of-the-art backend powers the game’s matchmaking system while Satori delivers a seamless LiveOps experience with real-time insights about player behaviour and game health. Additionally, our team developed proprietary networking solutions specifically for FBC: Firebreak, complete with intelligent relay fallback systems deployed globally to ensure seamless connectivity for all players.

This partnership showcases our commitment to enabling innovative game development; our team worked closely with Remedy’s engineers to ensure their unique vision could be realized at the highest technical standards.

We’re proud to support Remedy Entertainment in this exciting new chapter and look forward to seeing players around the world teaming up to experience the thrill of taking on paranatural threats in the mysterious Oldest House.

FBC: Firebreak is out now on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, as well as Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus.
