GC 2025 Press release

Firefighting Simulator: Ignite – New Trailer Showcases “Heart of the City” Mission

Fresh gameplay walkthrough released alongside first details on the upcoming Summer Camp DLC

Duesseldorf, Germany, August 21, 2025 –At this year’s gamescom, Firefighting Simulator: Ignite will be publicly playable for the first time, while publisher astragon Entertainment and developer studio weltenbauer. are releasing Mission Walkthrough video. Additionally, first details about the upcoming DLC have been revealed. 


The mission “The Heart of the City” features a deployment in the Oakridge City shopping mall. It’s a demanding scenario for the player and the team. The fire breaks out in the middle of the day, while many people are still inside the building. Not everyone manages to escape in time, making rescue operations the top priority. Unconscious persons and people stranded on the roof must be brought to safety. The raging fire poses a major challenge as well: due to electrical and grease fires, different extinguishing methods must be used.


First Details on the “Summer Camp” DLC


The “Summer Camp” DLC unlocks an entirely new environment, along additional missions. The summer camp, with its large lake and wooden cabins, serves as a retreat for children and teenagers — but in case of emergency, quick action is required to contain the fires. The DLC is scheduled for release in Q4 2025 and marks the first of many planned content additions, all of which are included in the Season Pass. The Firefighting Simulator: Ignite – Year 1 Edition is already available for pre-order for PC, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Edition includes the base game, Fire Station Companion Pack and the Year 1 Season Pass.


Firefighting Simulator: Ignite will be released on September 9, 2025, for PC, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S and is now available for pre-order across all platforms — complete with the Fire Station Companion Pack as a pre-order bonus.
