The game is described as a “marvellously manic multiplayer” where players get to come together with friends to fight fires and rescue residents.

The full release of Embr will include many more features including:
- 2 brand new expansive districts to explore housing 12 new hand-crafted levels.
- 13 new tools and upgrades to customise your firefighting experience.
- 5 brand new game modes to earn extra money your way.

- Cross-platform play across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Stadia.
- Extra difficulty settings and level mutators to keep things rolling.

“If anyone is expecting Embr to be a realistic depiction of an average day in the life of a firefighter, then they’re in for a big surprise,” says Team Lead at Muse Games, Howard Tsao.
“Embr is the ultimate have-a-go-hero adventure, where everyone from the paperboy to the Gran who lives at the end of your street could fill their day by coming to save you from a blaze in your house – even if that means throwing you out the window in the process. In Embr, the ends justify the utterly manic means.”
Embr is coming to PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch for £17.99 ($19.99) and will run through backwards compatibility on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Meanwhile, a new look at LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will debut at Gamescom 2021.
