Some interesting news surfaced on the internet yesterday; Insider-Gaming reported via X (formerly Twitter) that Remedy has applied for a new trademark called “FBC: Firebreak”. The trademark applies to computer gaming software, clothing, and audio/video multimedia production. The trademark could be related to Condor, which is the codename given to the multiplayer game that takes place in the universe of Control.
In Control, a firebreak is a large chasm that separates certain areas within the FBC (Federal Bureau of Control) as a safety measure, preventing supernatural entities from venturing deeper into the Bureau.
We don’t have much information about the Condor project, and we’re also aware that Control 2 is currently in development. The trademark might also refer to a group, object, or event that will be featured in either of these projects. For example, Remedy also recently trademarked LumiVista, a TV brand within Alan Wake 2.
