Remedy Trademarks “FBC: Firebreak”, Thereby Directly Referring to 2019’s Control
10.01.2024 - 11:53 / wccftech.com
Alan Wake and Control developer Remedy Entertainment has recently filed a trademark for FBC: Firebreak in Europe.
The trademark was filed by Remedy some days ago at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) under sections "computer gaming software" as well as "clothing", and "audio, video and multimedia production, and photography". This could suggest that the project could very well extend into other media as well. On the other hand, filling trademarks with additional nice classes is common for publishers and developers. As such, this doesn't necessarily confirm the extension to other media. At the moment of writing, the trademark application has been accepted by the office and is under examination. We've included a screenshot of the filing below:
For those in the unknown - FBC stands for the Federal Bureau of Control, which plays a central part in Remedy's Control from 2019. Also, "Firebreak" refers to strange features inside Control's Oldest House. Firebreaks are vast chasms that separate two areas, which, mostly, separate important or restricted locations from normal locations. As such, this new trademark can be considered a direct reference to Control. Whether the trademark is indeed connected to the Control universe remains to be seen, but good chances are that this trademark is connected to Remedy's Control multiplayer spinoff, codenamed "Condor". This cooperative PvE was announced back in 2021 and will be published by 505 Games.
Condor is currently announced as a next-gen exclusive title for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC with Remedy's Northlight engine being the backbone for the project. We'll update you as soon as we learn more about this new trademark and "Condor". Meanwhile, here's what we wrote about 2019's Control in our launch review back then:
Control features Remedy's most original setting yet, the studio's most open-ended game environment yet and great action combat that makes you feel like a badass. The game also stands out on PC as one of the finest examples of real-time ray tracing to date. It shouldn't be passed upon by any action/adventure game fans, even if it's not quite a masterpiece.

Potential Nintendo Direct Content Leaked Ahead Of Presumed Appearance Next Month?
It’s that time of year again! With January winding down, Nintendo fans await confirmation that The Big N is getting ready to present its first Nintendo Direct of the year! Ever since these started several years back, fans have been pumped for when the next one will arrive and what will be shown. This particular Direct will be important because it’s not just the first event of the year for Nintendo but because it’s presumably the last “full year” of Switch content. We only have one “original title” coming out via the Princess Peach game, and that seems pretty “light.”
