Muse Games (Guns of Icarus Online) have announced their next project, Embr.

Embr will enter Early Access in 2019 on Windows PC (via Steam), and will fully release in 2020 on the same platform.

The official website describes the game as “a frantic fire-fighting (un)Simulator set in a hyper-capitalist, deregulated alt-present where public firefighting funding has run dry, where venture capitalism and e-hailing rule the roost. The Embr Respondr is the last stand in a world ablaze.” In other words, much like the real life ride-sharing Uber service, players control peer-to-peer amateur fire-fighters.

The game supports online co-op multiplayer for up to four players, supporting player-hosted servers. Embr is currently planned to be in Early Access for nine to twelve months before its full release.

The final release will also have two additional game mode (Escape and Hose Confrontation), along with a campaign with boss battles and a driving mini-game. At its Early Access launch, the “core game loop” and co-op multiplayer will be implemented, along with arcade mode Rescue missions in single player and co-op play.
