Developer Casey Donnellan Games, along with publisher tinyBuild, have announced an Early Access release for their multiplayer shooter.
Kill It With Fire 2 will arrive on Steam Early Access on Tuesday, April 16, 2024. This co-op ‘exterminator-like’ shooter pits players against an overwhelming swarm of arachnids.
Take part in this multiversal battle against spiders. In this game, players will have to use a variety of high-tech weaponry to squash these species across spacetime. Each of its new locations, such as Spider City and Haunted Mansion offer, its own set of challenges.
This sequel will have new mechanics like ‘Potion Brewing’ which provide unique ways to slay bugs. Players can concoct special brews to enhance their extermination power. The ‘weapon upgrade’ feature can also unlock special abilities. This fresh selection of tools increases the chances against certain breeds of spiders.
This Early Access launch also includes big changes for its multiplayer with its two brand new modes. Spider Hunt and Campaign co-op add unique ways to play in their bug-hunting formula.
In Campaign co-op, four players must work together in a narrative-driven campaign.
Spider Hunt twists the bug-hunting mechanic by going toe-to-toe against players. They can choose between Spider and Exterminator.
Exterminators must eliminate rival player spiders without completely destroying the map. Spider players will scramble to survive until time runs out.
There’s a selection of three Spider Hunt levels available when the game launches on Early Access.
The developer, Casey Donnellan, premieres the first developer diary on April 4. It's part of a new series featuring an inside look at what’s to come.
Publisher tinyBuild has also announced its plans to release on PlayStation, and Xbox consoles. However, the creators have not yet confirmed a launch date for these versions.
