Treatment has filed a brand new trademark for one thing referred to as FBC: Firebreak, suggesting that we lastly have a reputation for the studio’s upcoming multiplayer Management spinoff.
The trademark, which was first noticed by Respawn First, is publicly viewable through the European Union Mental Property Workplace. It principally covers “laptop gaming software program”, but in addition branches out into clothes and multimedia, suggesting that FBC: Firebreak might cowl extra than simply video video games.
Whereas the codename for the undertaking is not talked about wherever, it is very attainable that FBC: Firebreak is the ultimate title for Challenge Condor, a multiplayer recreation set within the universe of the 2019 action-adventure recreation Management.
If FBC: Firebreak is not Management-related, the title looks like a fairly large coincidence; the FBC probably refers to Management‘s Federal Bureau of Management, and Firebreaks are chasms separating areas within the Bureau’s Oldest Home HQ.
Naturally, the trademark would not include any extra info relating to what route the undertaking is heading in, but it surely does give us an thought of what we may be calling it when it does arrive.
At current, we do not have a launch date for FBC: Firebreak (if, certainly, that is what it is referred to as), though Treatment mentioned again in October that the undertaking was within the “manufacturing readiness stage”.
It is also value remembering that Challenge Condor (and certain by extension FBC: Firebreak) is not the identical recreation as Challenge Vanguard, one other multiplayer shooter on which Treatment is presently working.
That recreation continues to be within the works, though Treatment rebooted growth again in November with a view to change to a premium enterprise mannequin. The sport had beforehand been introduced as a free-to-play title.
FBC: Firebreak might properly be some time away, but it surely stands an excellent likelihood of arriving earlier than Management 2 does; based on Treatment, the sequel continues to be within the proof-of-concept stage.
Keep tuned for extra information on all issues Treatment and FBC: Firebreak, no matter it seems to be.
