Hot Lava
Klei Entertainment is known predominantly for its 2D work with games like Shank, Mark of the Ninja, and Don't Starve, but its latest explores a 3D world filled with lava.
The still vague premise is one that that will nake you slap yourself in the forehead and say, "D'uh!" It's the video game version of the game we all independently invented as children where the floor is lava, so we need to stay up on the furniture, which our parents loved.
You can check out a gameplay trailer below, which plays out like a first-person parkour game where you must keep your feet off the floor. The trailer shows levels in a house, in a gymnasium, and a cave and stars what appears to be an action figure in hazmat gear.
Platforms are still unclear, but PC by way of Steam is in its future. Klei is planning a beta for the game and you can sign up for entry here.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
