🚒 You’ve Been Called to Respond
Wildfires are spreading faster, burning hotter, and becoming harder to control. In Rescue Ops: Wildfire, you’re part of an international firefighting unit on the front lines of global mega-fires.
Navigate unpredictable terrain, deploy tactical gear, manage precious water, and rescue trapped civilians before dynamic blazes engulf entire landscapes. The game was developed in collaboration with real-world firefighting experts.
Save lives first. Then face the blaze.
Developer Exkee describes its tactical co-op firefighting simulator as a game about both the raw danger of wildfires and the team-driven strategy needed to fight them. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, its procedural fire propagation system means a fire that looks manageable one moment can become a major threat the next.
On the Fire Line
🌬️ Dynamic Fire
Fires spread and evolve in real time based on wind direction, terrain elevation, vegetation density and weather.
👥 4-Player Co-Op
Split the jobs: run hose lines, cut firebreaks with chainsaws, or coordinate air operations. Solo play is supported too.
🩹 Search & Rescue
Find trapped civilians, assess their injuries, give first aid, and coordinate evacuations before the fire closes in.
✈️ Tactical Support
Call in water bombers, helicopter supply runs and insertions, water deliveries, and ground support.
🧯 Every Decision Counts
You’ll drive wildland fire engines through rugged terrain, but watch your driving: flames, rough ground and reckless handling can damage your vehicle and leave you stranded. On the ground, clear vegetation, deploy tactical backfires, manage your hoses and conserve water, refilling from tanks, ponds or other vehicles. Smoke is a threat too, so position yourself carefully, use your breathing mask, and keep an eye on your crew.
Wildfires present an ever-growing real-world threat, and with Rescue Ops: Wildfire, we wanted to deliver a simulation that captures both the raw danger and the team-driven strategy required to fight them. With the launch of our new Steam demo, players can jump straight into the flames with their crew and experience our dynamic fire simulation system firsthand as we polish the title for its early 2027 release.
