Renowned Finnish game studio, Remedy Entertainment, has submitted a trademark application for the name FBC: Firebreak to the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). This application specifies that the name is relevant to computer game software, clothing, sound production, videos, multimedia, and photography. It is anticipated that this game will be a multiplayer shooter set in the same universe as Control, code-named Project Condor.
The acronym FBC stands for Federal Bureau of Control, an organization that strives to regulate supernatural events. It plays a crucial role in the game Control and also makes an appearance in Alan Wake 2, along with the entity known as Firebreak, which is believed to be another occurrence of an Altered World Event (AWE) within the Remedy Connected Universe.
The Remedy Connected Universe includes Alan Wake, Alan Wake 2, and Control. However, games like Max Payne and Quantum Break, due to copyright ownership by Rockstar Games and Microsoft, are not officially considered part of the same universe. Nonetheless, Quantum Break does contain Easter Eggs that reference Alan Wake and AWEs.
