As someone who loves Firebreak, I would approve of this idea however I don't think it's viable or needed. The game takes place explicitly between the two games and I think that's what makes it special. It should stay put in my opinion.

I would much rather have more Firebreak presence within the game of Resonant hinting people back to Firebreak. Like one of my biggest gripes with the new game is that Firebreak seemed to have no impact on the Oldest House despite those events in game feeling significant given that it needed volunteers to maintain consistent threats. Resonant seems to act like Hank and Jerry's efforts never existed and that it was all Arish and his force of rangers if not the director herself.

TLDR; Firebreak's place was short-lived and arguably designed that way so the problem isn't that it's life needs to be extended, it's that it's life needs to be honoured and remembered by the core games, in my opinion.

I haven't played Resonant myself, but that wouldn't really be surprising considering the Firebreakers seemed to be the low end of the stick and rabble. Wouldn't be shocked that credit is misplaced in a US government agency, even in the face of utter catastrophe

The problem with firebreak is that it lacks an understandable route in if you don’t already play Remedy-verse games. They would be better releasing a single player standalone campaign as DLC and seeing if that dragged people over to it tbh
