FBC: Firebreak Website Reveals Jesse Faden’s Hidden Role

An attentive fan has uncovered a concealed message on the FBC: Firebreak official website, confirming Jesse Faden’s involvement in Remedy’s upcoming multiplayer co-op shooter. The discovery, made by user AkeeRDT, reveals that the Control protagonist will maintain her position as Director within the game’s narrative structure.

The hidden message, found beneath redacted text in the newsletter signup section, indicates that subscribers will receive “dispatches from Director Faden” and “exciting intelligence about the Oldest House.” This revelation aligns with speculation about Faden’s presence in the game, though in a different capacity than her playable role in Control.

While FBC: Firebreak, scheduled for release this year, isn’t a direct sequel to Control, it establishes itself as a parallel narrative within the same universe. The game positions players as members of a special forces unit tasked with eliminating remaining Hiss presence from the Oldest House, with Faden likely serving in a mission-directing capacity.

The game’s setting remains firmly rooted in the Oldest House, the paranormal headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Control. Players can expect to revisit familiar locations like the Black Rock Quarry threshold, while the building’s shifting nature promises to reveal new areas through dimensional threshold manifestations.

This connection to the broader Control universe places FBC: Firebreak as a bridge between the original game and its confirmed sequel, Control 2, which remains in development. The game’s reveal trailer has already showcased recognizable elements from the series, suggesting a careful balance between established lore and new cooperative gameplay mechanics.
