Remedy has big plans for its struggling shooter, but turning things around at this point seems like a faint hope.
The co-op shooter FBC: Firebreak is struggling badly, but Remedy isn’t giving up on it. Today the studio announced plans for its first « major update », set to arrive in late September, that it hopes will make the game more accessible to newcomers, and more engaging for veterans.
FBC: Firebreak stumbled out of the gate, with serious balance problems and a real lack of content. « The good news », we said in our 60% review, « is many of Firebreaks problems are fixable. » The bad news, quite simply, is that it needs a whole lot of fixin’. Immediate issues were addressed via several patches released in relatively short order, but this update aims to get down to more substantial problems.
« The weeks since launch have given us a huge amount of feedback, from you, the community, as well as reviews, and the data we are looking at », Remedy wrote on Steam.
« Based on our previous development plans and taking all the feedback on board, we are excited about what our first Major Update, targeted for a late September release, will bring to FBC: Firebreak.
