Crush Kill It With Fire 2’s Sinister Spiders in Today’s Sci-Fi Cybercore Update

A new explorable level brings all-new minigames, weapons, arachnids, and more

SEATTLE — 17 December, 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, warps into cyberspace to face off against new spider-kind in the “Cybercore” update, available now on PC via Steam.

Cross into an all-new dimensional level filled with the craftiest creepy crawlies lurking in every nook and cranny. This latest update brings spider-slaying vets into “Cybercore,” a once-human space fleet training program turned spider-infested playground. Leap through platforming puzzles with the help of jump packs, and obtain tokens to play a variety of minigames to earn tickets and win fabulous prizes.

The cyberspace comes loaded with two new spider types for players to exterminate. The minigame spiders net exterminators various ticket quantities depending on their color. Meanwhile, glitch spiders duplicate into smaller, speedier variants every time they get squashed but offer far more tickets upon each kill.

Cybercore introduces a host of new weapons, and exterminators should feast their eyes on the Decompiler. This shiny, spidey-killing machine breaks down spiders and objects into teeny, tiny bits. Switch the weapon into compiler mode to craft the collected bits into ammo, exploding barrels, and even a creepy crawler of your own.

Drones return from the original Kill It With Fire, now able to unleash bullet-hell on those arachnid freaks. Put those robot driving skills to the test with the new drone racing minigames. Return to past levels to race against time, and improve previous records.

Get a taste of Chaos Theory with the innovative butterfly effect. Encounter and catch butterflies to shoot them out as they seek out and gobble up spiders. Cosmetic additions allow exterminators to swap their suits in different colors. Soak in this lively new pocket realm, brimming with tons to do and plenty of spiders to kill.

Kill It With Fire 2 is available now on PC via Steam Early Access for USD 14.99. Spider-hunters around the globe can play with English, French, German, Spanish (Spain), Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese language support.

To stay up to date with the latest updates, visit Kill It With Fire’s official website and follow @tinyBuild and @KIWF_Game on X (formerly known as Twitter).

War Thunder gets Storm Warning

The new update brings Rafale and Typhoon modern jet fighters and dozens of other iconic military vehicles

Gaijin Entertainment announces the release of the “Storm Warning” major content update for the military online shooter War Thunder. The game now features the Thai air force subtree, top-of-the-line 4.5-generation fighters Typhoon and Rafale (“gust of wind”), the modern German self-propelled gun Panzerhaubitze 2000, the French light cruiser La Galissonnière, dozens of other military vehicles, as well as a new map “Attica”, inspired by the landscapes of Greece.

The Eurofighter Typhoon is a modern 4.5-generation fighter, which was created jointly by Germany, UK and Italy, and is currently also in service with Austria, Spain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. It can carry up to 10 air-to-air missiles, including the AIM-9 Sidewinder and AIM-120 AMRAAM. This arsenal, supplemented by a helmet-mounted targeting system and an advanced CAPTOR radar, make the Eurofighter one of the best aircraft in the game for both close and long-range air combat.

Rafale is the most modern French-produced fighter jet in the game. The Rafale F3-R version that debuts in War Thunder was accepted into service in 2018. In addition to the French Air Force, it is also used by Greece and Croatia. The aircraft is especially effective in long-range combat thanks to its MICA-EM ARH missiles. To destroy ground targets, the Rafale has a high-precision weapons system AASM HAMMER, new to War Thunder, with an extensive arsenal of guided bombs.

The Thai sub-tree has been added to the Japanese aviation line and will expand the tactical options for players leveling this branch. For example, they will now have access to the F-5T SCU “Tigris” light jet fighter, which can be equipped with Python 3 air-to-air missiles.

The Panzerhaubitze 2000 is one of the most modern and advanced self-propelled howitzers in the world. The shells of its 155 mm L52 gun, about 8 meters long, can hit targets at distances of tens of kilometers, and the reload speed can get as low as 6 seconds with a good crew. Despite its weight of almost 58 tons, the Panzerhaubitze 2000 is capable of reaching speeds of up to 60 km/h on a good road, thanks to which it can quickly change position.

Detailed information about the new content in the “Storm Warning” update is available on the official website of the game.
