5 months after launch, cooperative shooter FBC Firebreak finally has integrated voice chat, but its Vampire Survivors-style wave mode is delayed until next year

Remedy Entertainment has introduced cross-platform voice chat in its cooperative shooter, FBC: Firebreak, after receiving criticism for the lack of this feature since its launch in June. This update allows players to communicate within the game, improving teamwork without relying on third-party applications. Additionally, a new game mode called Endless Shift, inspired by Left 4 Dead and Vampire Survivors, is set to be added. Despite these enhancements, the recent Breakpoint update did not restore player confidence, resulting in a non-cash impairment of €14.9 million for Remedy.
