Hello, Soul Seekers!

Today marks a huge step for Into the Fire on its development journey. Not only we've just revealed a brand-new trailer at the Wishlisted event, but we’ve also started accepting sign-ups for the open playtests. 🔥

The cherry on top is a brief summary of the recent closed tests that we've just completed last week, so in short – there is a lot to talk about. Without further ado, let's roll!

A Fresh Look at Into the Fire 🌋

First things first – our latest trailer has officially premiered during the Wishlisted event, and it’s now available for everyone to watch.

With this one, we wanted to capture the escalating environmental threats awaiting you in the field. Volcano's wrath, trembling ground, lightning tearing through the sky, or demons emerging from fire & ash – that's just a glimpse of what you will have to face when you step Into the Fire.

Alongside the trailer, we’re excited to announce that open playtest sign-ups are now live.
