Into the Fire is a new survival extraction game from Starward Industries, set in a dangerous world that is collapsing under a volcanic eruption. Players take on the role of an explorer navigating through ash, lava, fires, and supernatural fire threats, with one main goal: to extract as many survivors as possible before the island swallows them. The game is currently announced for PC via Steam, where it is expected to arrive in 2026.
Unlike classic extraction games, Into the Fire does not emphasize combat against other players, but rather the conflict with nature, limited time, and an increasingly dangerous environment. Every outing means searching for people and animals, managing scarce resources, navigating safe routes, and returning to base before the situation completely collapses. The volcano is not just a backdrop, but a constant threat that changes conditions and forces players to make quick decisions.
Starward Industries also announces the use of special firefighting tools, retro-punk inventions, and extinguishing equipment, along with base expansion and the collection of relics related to unexplained phenomena. Behind the disaster lie legends, rituals, and forces that defy science, so Into the Fire combines the survival formula with mysticism and horror elements.
Into the Fire appears to be an interesting departure from the usual extraction genre. Instead of hunting for loot under fire from enemy squads, here the greatest adversary is the disaster itself. If Starward Industries manages to maintain the tension of rescue, the pressure of time, and a sense of danger, this could be one of the more striking survival titles to watch for in 2026.
