Remedy Entertainment has been hard at work with their co-op first-person shooter FBC Firebreak (check out our FBC Firebreak review), which is set within the Oldest House, where the game Control takes place, and we know that work is already underway on Control 2. Hopefully, we won’t have to wait long for more details on the next entry into the Remedyverse.
