The most important tool in Remedy's new co-op FPS is the shower_ 'Saving water is essential'
By Dr. Eleanor Vance | Published on January 01, 0001
When Remedy announces a new game, I expect three things: A protagonist wearing street clothes, third-person shooting, and a pistol. FBC: Firebreak, a first-person co-op Control spinoff, has none of that, and that's incredibly exciting. We haven't heard much about Firebreak other than its 2025 release window, but in a recent interview with , Remedy revealed that a major mechanic in its first FPS [[link]] is taking a shower.
"FBC: Firebreak is a lot about crisis management and getting covered in stuff that you shouldn't be – fire, radiation, sticky notes," game director Mike Kayatta told GR. "So if you want it off, then wash it off. Don't want a cold shower? Warm it up first. And saving water is essential. Cram inside the box with your team."
Ahh, looks just as cramped and utilitarian as I imagined.
And what does Kayatta mean about cold showers? Does that mean you get an extra buff for taking a warm shower? That tracks with my general demeanor when my water heater is broken, but it also makes me wonder how systems-dense Firebreak might be. Maybe I'm reading too much into the electric gun and a goopy acid
cannon [[link]] that (seemingly) puts out a fire in the trailer, but we [[link]] might be playing with the elements in Firebreak.
FBC: Firebreak is coming sometime in 2025 and, as a first for Remedy in years, launching on Steam day one.
