One member of this Firebreak crew has activated a Safe Room – it's both a signal to the director upstairs that progress is being made down here in the depths, and a foothold for the team should this crisis spiral any further out of control.

Control was their answer. A suitably kooky and weird third-person shooter heavily inspired by the SCP Foundation that fits like a glove in terms of the experiences Remedy tends to create. It was another smash hit for them, with a full sequel on the way and more imminently, a cooperative first-person shooter called FBC: Firebreak.

Polygon attended a virtual press event on March 11 where Remedy showed off an extended playthrough of the mission featured in the trailer, as well as a presentation on the game’s core pillars led by FBC: Firebreak game director Mike Kayatta.
