While FBC: Firebreak was absent from the Summer Games Fest line-up, Remedy was in attendance at the Play Days, a physical invite-only event following the showcase.
The event, while ordinarily mysterious, was particularly elusive this year, with seemingly no mention of it on the SGF website. Theories regarding the event include invitations posted through mailboxes at midnight, a mysterious hooded individual distributing location details through maps scribbled with lemon juice writing, and venue details sent through a hive-mind dream vision. Some say people just woke up there mid-demo with a controller in their hand.
Regardless of what went down, Remedy was there for the final big push before FBC: Firebreak launches on June 17th. During the event, the studio demoed a brand-new Job, Frequency Shift, to press and influencers and Mike Kayatta (Game Director) sat down with journalists to talk more about what awaits players inside The Oldest House six years on.
Below is a collection of interviews and previews we've stumbled across. The list will be added to as more are published...
