Kill It With Fire 2’s Big SpiderHunt Update Brings Back Fan-Favorite PvP Mode & Maps, Version 1.0 Coming This Summer For PC & Consoles

Check out the latest devlog, recapping the final early access update ahead of full release

SEATTLE — April 16, 2025 — Kill It With Fire 2, the sci-fi-inspired sequel to the first-person spider-hunter from developer Casey Donnellan Games and publisher tinyBuild, sets classic maps ablaze in “SpiderHunt,” the final early access update available now on PC via Steam. The 1.0 release arrives this summer on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.

Spider eradication returns it to its roots with two web-gendary maps and the fan-favorite SpiderHunt PvP mode, where a team of eradicators faces off against a team of spiders. The eradication team’s goal is to find and exterminate all spider players – easier said than done, as the little pests are quick and hard to spot. As eradicators explore the map in search of spiders (and crazy weapons – try using a minigun for pest extermination), the crawlers use the environment to fool enemies and make their lives harder with web traps.

Revisit the iconic House from Kill it with Fire, combining the original First Contact, Close Encounters, and Domestic Duties levels into one gigantic infestation. Bask in the enhanced lighting effects, and demolish a newly destructible shower surely hiding creepy crawlies between its tiles.

Fan favorite level Paper Trail makes a glorious comeback with spruced-up lighting and a plethora of spider friends. Remember a certain little CEO office from Kill it With Fire? Oh yeah, the popular Contingency Omega level is back too. Returning maps’ smaller design feature more time to squash those pesky eight-legged freaks.

The SpiderHunt update ushers in a host of spider-annihilating quality of life updates. Select from up to six maps when hosting a match, choose the number of players, and go for unlimited rounds to one's spider-slaying heart’s content. Casey did some exterminating himself by crushing those annoying arachnids interrupting those crucial saves, along with fixes for weapon ammo.

Kill it with Fire 2 exits Early Access Summer 2025, with a 1.0 content drop called “Spider Hell”. Welcome a new class of exterminators into the fray as Kill it With Fire 2 launches onto PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch alongside PC. Prepare for a thrilling community event, inviting all exterminators to eliminate spider-kind in an out-of-this-world face off.

Kill It With Fire 2 is available now on PC via Steam Early Access with a limited-time discount to commemorate the launch of the update. Spider-hunters around the globe can play with English, French, German, Spanish (Spain), Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese language support.
