In a<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/app\/2272540\/view\/621061415005848720?l=english\" target=\"_blank\"> Steam post<\/a> Remedy announced that it has added &#8220;cross-platform voice chat&#8221; into all versions, letting you finally gab with your pals in the Oldest House without migrating to Discord.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, it isn&#8217;t all good news on the Firebreak front. In the same post, Remedy also explained that Firebreak&#8217;s next major update, Rogue Protocol, has been delayed into 2026. Remedy originally planned to release this alongside voice chat, but explains the mode needs &#8220;a bit more time&#8221; in the oven. This is because Rogue Protocol will introduce a whole new game mode to Firebreak, so Remedy believes a slightly longer development &#8220;will help us make sure everything feels right: polished, balanced, and worthy of your time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Remedy provided some insight into how the new mode will work, however. It&#8217;s called Endless Shift, and from the sounds of things, it&#8217;s basically a wave-based survival mode. According to Remedy, players will be dropped into a &#8220;sealed area&#8221; of the Oldest House with minimal equipment, tasked with holding off a large incursion of Hiss. Eliminated enemies drop a substance called Corruption, which &#8220;can be spent between rounds to unlock powerful upgrades, weapons, and enhancements&#8221;.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:3840px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"YTrV2oKF5Y9ByUZmjy3FwN\" name=\"firebreakchoices\" alt=\"An image of the Vampire Survivors' style skill choices in FBC: Firebreak's new game mode.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/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.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Remedy Entertainment)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>These upgrades can be straightforward power boosts, or they can &#8220;twist your abilities in unexpected ways.&#8221; Upgrades also stack, which Remedy says results in &#8220;wild, game-breaking synergies&#8221; that you&#8217;ll deploy against new enemy combinations and elite foes.
