KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2

KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2 is a first-person action game in which exterminators fight a spider invasion across several dimensions. Instead of being confined to one house, you travel between seven very different worlds and complete tasks, puzzles and fights there.

The sequel combines the chaotic destruction gameplay of the original with a co-op campaign and its own competitive mode.

The PC version entered Early Access on April 16, 2024. The full version was released on November 25, 2025, at the same time as the native versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Nintendo Switch version followed on May 7, 2026.

According to Nintendo, the Switch version also runs on Switch 2. A separate Switch 2 version is therefore not the same thing.

KILL IT WITH FIRE! 2 is available for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch. On Xbox, it supports Xbox Play Anywhere, so the corresponding digital license can be used across Xbox and Windows PC.

The Switch version was released for the original Nintendo Switch and is compatible with Switch 2. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are not among the native versions verified here.

In first-person perspective, you search for hidden spiders, set traps and fight ever larger groups. Many tasks arise from interacting with objects in the environment that can move, be destroyed or be used for the hunt.

Unlike the first game, it doesn't stay with everyday living rooms. The new locations change both the enemies and the type of challenges.

The separately available original soundtrack contains nine tracks by Trevor Whitaker Black. It is additional music and not playable campaign content.

On Steam, the Supporter Edition bundles the main game with this soundtrack. The extra music content is not required for co-op or the PvP mode.

For the PC version, Steam lists a 2.4 GHz dual-core processor, 4 GB RAM, a GeForce GTX 760 or comparable graphics card, and 4 GB of free storage as minimum requirements.

Recommended are a 2.4 GHz quad-core processor and a GeForce GTX 1060 or comparable graphics card. The original details list Windows 7, while the Steam client has required at least Windows 10 since 2024.

The entire campaign can be played solo or online with up to four players. In a team, the exterminators can split up the work of searching the environment, eliminating spiders and solving tasks.

Co-op is part of the main campaign and not a separate mini-game. On consoles, the respective requirements for online play apply.

Spider Hunt is an online PvP mode for up to eight players. One team takes on the humans, while the other controls the spiders. This flips the basic principle of the hunt: instead of only being hunters, you can take the perspective of the supposed prey.

The competition can be played independently of the cooperative story campaign.

The campaign takes you through seven standalone locations. These include a mysterious mansion, a Western town, a digital world and the hostile spider hell.

Each world offers its own obstacles, tasks and opportunities for the unusual tools. Changing locations ensures the spider hunt doesn't just consist of repeated room searches.

The arsenal includes 45 unlockable weapons and devices. Alongside newspapers and other improvised tools, there are miniguns, rocket launchers and lightsabers, among others.

Equipment can be upgraded and crafted as you progress. Some tasks can be tackled with different tools, while others reward targeted experiments with the environment.

In addition to the story, there are over 60 special challenges. They range from potion experiments to defending a saloon, to drone races and a destruction task in giant form.

These tasks interrupt the classic spider hunt and each require different rules and abilities.

In the campaign, exterminators face a spider infestation threatening several dimensions. The plot ties the changing worlds into a deliberately absurd adventure with exaggerated characters.

The screenplay is by Miles Luna, who has previously worked on RWBY and Red vs. Blue, among others.

On PC, German menus and subtitles are available. The voice-over is in English. Steam lists nine supported languages in total.

The PlayStation 5 version also offers German on-screen text with English voice-over. The full language selection may vary by platform.
