Into the Fire mixes fire and rescue, mysterious folklore, and a volcanic island in what might be yet another Divine Comedy adaptation

The strands are loose, but determination nonetheless

When I archetypal caught a precise speedy glimpse astatine Into the Fire, the benignant of glimpse wherever you much conscionable spot a quality plan amidst a clump of fire, I thought it was a caller simulation game. A fireman sim, that benignant of thing, the benignant of crippled I'm definite exists already without needing to Google it. Into the Fire is not that astatine all. There is fire, and determination is rescue, but determination are besides past mysteries amongst earthy disasters, fiery, destructive jellyfish-esque spirits, and a tantalizing premix of science-fiction, folklore, and the supernatural.

Remember The Invincible? Well, Into the Fire is from the aforesaid devs, and portion our recently anointed editorial manager Julian had immoderate misgivings astir The Invincible successful his reappraisal astatine the time, my curiosity with Starward Industries' adjacent has inactive been piqued. Details are rather airy connected who you are successful Into the Fire, isolated from the information that you're a "bold explorer struggling to past during a volcanic eruption connected Dante’s Archipelago." Hang on… person we got yet different Divine Comedy adaptation connected our hands here? I accidental clip volition tell.

The halfway loop appears to beryllium this: determination is simply a hub, seemingly nearish to said volcano, wherever you tin bash bits of crafting and upgrading, remainder a bit, find immoderate lore, and take your instrumentality earlier heading retired connected missions. Your instrumentality looks similar rather modular firefighting stuff, similar a large ole axe, and a occurrence extinguisher attached to your backmost that you spray crossed fires to enactment them out.

For the missions themselves, things look tricky, based connected the game's latest trailer (as seen above). There's those aforementioned benignant of jellyfish occurrence spirits you person to fend off, amongst others for one. But there's besides the rescuing people. This isn't like, say, Death Stranding, wherever you tin foist them connected your backpack, you really person to transportation them, and that mightiness mean crossed bladed planks of wood supra a burning pit. Amongst the enactment it looks similar determination is simply a borderline puzzley navigational constituent that'll enactment your speedy mapping skills and reflexes to the test.

As it stands, there's nary merchandise day for this crippled different than sometime successful 2026, but whenever it does motorboat it'll bash truthful successful aboriginal access. In the meantime, you tin wishlist Into the Fire present if it takes your fancy.
