Kill it with Fire is a first-person game where you try to hunt down and kill virtual spiders. It came out in 2020 on PC, at least through Steam, and it's over the top action seemed to resonate well with fans. What if you took that same idea but now it's in virtual reality?

Casey Donnellan Games and tinyBuild just announced an upcoming VR release of Kill it with Fire that will hit Meta Quest 2, SteamVR, and both PlayStation VR platforms later this year. Players will be able to rip apart their house in VR as they hunt down hundreds of spiders and spider hiding places. You will defend your home and your sanity from those tiny arachnids using items like frying pans, saws, flamethrowers, knives, dynamite, RPGs, and more.

A price and set release date have not yet been revealed. However, you can add Kill it with Fire VR to your Steam Wishlist right now if you're so inclined.
