Thunderful and Dejima Games have announced a brand new platformer called Firegirl, an action platformer where firefighting is the main activity. However, that is not the entire mission for Firegirl. The local fire department has essentially been gutted so in between fighting fires and rescuing people you will need to recruit people and rebuild the department. However time is the essence in Firegirl with players having three minutes in each mission to save as much as they can.
Dejima founder Julien Ribassin said: “Firefighting is such a thrilling setup to create our vision of an action rescue platformer. We wanted to capture the sense of imminent danger that comes facing this natural disaster and translate it into a whimsical arcade adventure. Although the players will come face to face roaring blazes and fire-monsters, the goal is rescuing and helping survivors. Firegirl was designed with both newcomers and veterans to the genre of action platformers in mind, and we can’t wait for people to try it out for themselves when it launches this Fall.”
Thunderful’s Head of Publishing, Dieter Schoeller, said: “We’re always on the lookout for new, exciting games at Thunderful and Firegirl is right up our alley. It takes the seemingly simple concept of fighting fires and makes it utterly captivating. It’s the perfect pick up and play title, offering a zippy arcade twist on rescuing people from an environmental disaster.”
Firegirl is set to release this autumn on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch.
