Remedy Already Looks to Be Moving Away from FBC: Firebreak

Alan Wake and Control developer Remedy Entertainment has posted its financial results for the third quarter of its 2025-26 fiscal year, and there’s a pretty clear indication in the report that the studio is moving on from FBC: Firebreak.

In an official Remedy press release, new interim CEO Markus Mäki, who stepped in to replace departing exec Tero Virtala just last week, says that the company has “moved development resources [from FBC: Firebreak] to [its] other in-development titles”.

Mäki does say that Remedy intends to “respect [its] communicated roadmap” for the game, so at the very least, you can expect the promised updates on said roadmap to arrive in a timely fashion. After that, though, it seems likely Remedy is done with the game.

FBC: Firebreak has resulted in a pretty rotten few months for Remedy.

Despite this, however, Mäki says that Remedy has “also found positive sides” to the launch of FBC: Firebreak. He says that the studio’s “first multiplayer product launch was technically successful in a cross-platform environment”, and that the game’s release has helped Remedy’s publishing team gain experience.

It hasn’t been a great few months for Remedy, though. The aforementioned financial report shows that revenue is down a whopping 32% on last year’s Q3, although Mäki says that’s because the studio received development fees for Control 2 from publisher Annapurna during this period.

Additionally, Remedy made an operating loss of €16.4 million this quarter, compared to a profit of €2.4 million during the same period last year. It’s safe to say that FBC: Firebreak has rather scuppered Remedy’s third quarter this year, and its major Breakpoint update in September hasn’t helped much.

Nevertheless, development on Control 2 and the upcoming Max Payne remakes continues, Mäki says, and the projects are “progressing according to plan”.

It may well be a while before we hear anything more from Remedy regarding these projects, but hopefully, we’ll learn what Control 2 and the Max Payne remakes look like in the coming months. Stay tuned for more.
