Rescue Ops: Wildfire is an upcoming immersive firefighter simulation game where you (and friends, if you have any) get to attempt to put out dynamic, unpredictable mega-fires.

Mixed across two modes you'll be able to play through a mission-based campaign playable alone or with up to 4 total players. There's also going to be a sandbox mode to really test yourself on the frontlines. I'm definitely interested to see their fire reaction system that they said reacts to wind strength and direction and can "spread across vast hectares of terrain, no two fires or the way you approach them will ever be the same".

From the press release:

With climate change giving rise to more frequent and extreme wildfires around the world, more than ever before brave firefighters heroically walk into the fire and flames to protect our communities. In Rescue Ops: Wildfire, players will experience the intensity of being on the front lines of one the world’s most dangerous professions, built from the ground up for solo or cooperative play.

From the fire station to the front line, you’re in control. The initial emergency call to the fire station is just the first step, and it’s then that you’ll have to use the many varied tactics, tools, strategies, and mechanics at your disposal to battle the blaze. Operate a fleet of ground and aerial vehicles to assess and travel to the incident site, locate and rescue trapped or injured civilians, call in tactical support, wield forest clearing equipment, and take the fight directly to the mega-fires with intricate and immersive water hose systems and gameplay.

Features:

  • Fight to control massive dynamic wildfires and determine the best strategies in Campaign and Sandbox mode, alone or with players worldwide.
  • Operate a fleet of ground and aerial firefighting vehicles including fire engines and helicopters.
  • Call in tactical support to gain the upper hand: deploy water bombers, have a water supply delivered, or ask for ground support to establish an attack or defense line.
  • Gear up with cutting-edge equipment, developed with the support and expertise of professional firefighters.
  • Charge into maps inspired by the world’s wildest regions, each with unique terrain and challenges.

Hopefully there won't be any problems with running this one with Proton on Linux / SteamOS. I like the idea of it and the short glimpse we get in the reveal trailer seems like it could actually get pretty intense.
