SEATTLE – April 4, 2024 – Kill It With Fire 2, the sci-fi inspired sequel to the first-person spider-hunter from developer Casey Donnellan Games and publisher tinyBuild, takes extermination to outer space on Steam Early Access for PC on Tuesday, April 16, 2024. To quench the killing thirst, Casey Donnellan premieres the first developer diary in a new series featuring an inside look at what’s to come.
Learn how the first title’s massive success led to the sequel’s creative choices. Delve into the inspirations that influenced the broadening of the in-game world to go interdimensional, embrace multiplayer, and more, with a first look into the highly-anticipated sequel development process and the philosophy behind its creation.
Exterminate the lil’ creeps across the multiverse. Squash new species across the spacetime continuum and in otherworldly locations like the Spider City and Haunted Mansion, each with its own set of challenges, weaponry, and discoveries.
Find new ways to slay with fresh gameplay mechanics, like potion brewing in the Artois Manor. Search every nook and cranny to locate missing ingredients and concoct special brews to enhance extermination. Complete objectives, including slaying certain breeds of spiders, to unlock abilities with the all-new weapon upgrade feature.
Casey heard the huge demand for multiplayer: Kill it With Fire 2 encourages friends to slay together with two brand new modes: Spider Hunt and Campaign Co-op. Team up with three friends to tackle the game’s campaign or engage in a toe-to-toe… to-many-other toes battle between Spider and Exterminator. Exterminators must eliminate rival player spiders without completely destroying the map, whereas spider players scramble to survive until time runs out.
Freely explore four levels in the upcoming Early Access with three Spider Hunt Mode levels. Search the game’s hub-world, the Vindicator, for clues as to what’s coming next in future updates.
Kill It With Fire 2 arrives on Steam Early Access for PC on Tuesday, April 16, 2024. It will offer English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Dutch, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese language support.
