On Thursday, Microsoft held an Xbox Partner Preview. And the presentation showcased some exciting additions on the way to Xbox, PC, and more. One surprising reveal is from Remedy Entertainment with FBC: Firebreak. Its a co-op first-person shooter and also marks the first proper multiplayer game from the Finnish studio. Additionally, Unknown Worlds Entertainment announced Subnautica 2 is on the way for launch in 2025.

It is confirmed the title will be coming to Xbox Game Preview, PC, and Xbox Game Pass. Now if you’re looking for a preview game much sooner, Double Eleven is now launching Blindfire for Xbox Game Preview today. You can watch the Early Access trailer in the video below:

“As soon as I heard the pitch, I knew it was something special – there was electricity in the room when they spoke about it and I couldn’t get it out of my head for days afterwards. The beautiful thing about the concept in my opinion is how pure the core idea is, there is no fluff or excess and it can be explained in a single sentence. It’s a pitch-black room, you have a gun, so do your enemies… good luck!” lead designer Matt Dunthorne says.

“Kills are less about pure shooting prowess, and more about clever use of environmental cues. Moving cautiously, listening carefully, and thinking about which target to engage, as well as considering who could be waiting in the shadows to take you out, too. It’s a unique challenge that forces you to play differently.” He adds: ”Winning is about finding the right balance between simply surviving and being bold.

“The scoreboard can be flipped on its head at any time, it makes for very exciting matches that go down to the wire. […] A huge part of the game is about understanding when to fire and when not too and we wanted to ensure this remained intact in our Team modes. In Team Bodycount this importance is multiplied, you need to be sure that the footsteps you just heard behind you are an enemy and not your teammate.”
