When we talk about high-profile live-service failures, Remedy Entertainment’s FBC: Firebreak is often left out of the conversation. That’s because the co-op shooter never really gained a lot of traction, despite the the post-Alan Wake 2 hype it was graced with before launch. Less than a year after its launch, the developers are saying goodbye… but there is good news, too.
It’s interesting to see how Remedy is adapting their strategy for FBC: Firebreak. The introduction of a Friend’s Pass and a price reduction could definitely breathe new life into the game. It’s always important to find ways to engage players, especially in a competitive market.
