A major free update has been released for the disastrous FBC: Firebreak

Despite the commercial failure and low popularity of the co-op project FBC: Firebreak, Remedy Entertainment released a major free update for the game, titled Rogue Protocol. The main addition is a full-fledged roguelike mode, where players must face relentless waves of enemies, gradually unlocking permanent upgrades and striving to set a survival record. This content patch demonstrates the developers' commitment to supporting the project even after a negative community reception and a rapid decline in player base.

The Rogue Protocol update can be seen as an attempt to reboot the project by introducing a fundamentally new gaming experience, distinct from the original concept. The success of this initiative will determine the future of FBC: Firebreak and influence Remedy's decisions regarding support for other niche projects in the future. The studio continues to balance experimental developments with commercially successful franchises like Control and Alan Wake.
