Starward Industries Unveils New Gameplay Trailer for Into the Fire

Starward Industries has launched a new gameplay trailer for its upcoming game, Into the Fire, during the INDIE Live Expo. This presentation highlights the unique extraction survival adventure set on a volatile island marked by a series of volcanic eruptions. Players will navigate a landscape fraught with danger, ancient mysteries, and potent elemental forces.

Gameplay and Environmental Challenges

The trailer showcases intense rescue operations that are central to the gameplay experience. Players will encounter rapidly changing environments characterized by collapsing terrain, extreme heat, and violent storms arising from the island’s awakening core. To survive, they rely on advanced retropunk gear, specifically designed to withstand harsh conditions while exploring strange disturbances linked to forgotten myths.

The narrative of Into the Fire unfolds as the volcanic disaster spreads across surrounding islands, evoking a sense of ancient memories rising through clouds of smoke and ash. Players must embrace the challenges posed by this dynamic world, where every action influences the environment.

“This project is a tribute to systemic survival and myth-driven storytelling, interwoven with the raw beauty of nature’s upheaval,” said Michał Obłoj, Marketing and Business Development Manager at Starward Industries. “The new trailer aims to capture the environment’s responsive nature, creating a living stage where adaptation is essential.”

Community Engagement and Future Plans

In conjunction with the trailer release, Starward Industries is organizing another phase of closed playtests for selected community members on Discord. This initiative offers players an exclusive opportunity to experience elements of the game before its larger debut.

Into the Fire is scheduled to enter Early Access in 2026. The game invites players into a realm shaped by fire, folklore, and a continuously evolving apocalypse. Each step must be taken with caution as the world around them refuses to remain static, promising a gripping and immersive adventure.
