At Wolfire Games, our mission is to push the video game industry forward by challenging conventional wisdom, sharing what we learn, and exploring the positive effects that games can have on the world.
We have completed work on, Overgrowth, and are working on a new secret project!
Wolfire Monthly Update - April 2020
Receiver 2
We kicked off April with the release of our brand new game, Receiver 2. The overwhelmingly positive reception to our work has been truly humbling, and we'd like to thank each and every one of you for giving the game a shot. We have big plans to support the game with content patches, so keep an eye out for future updates.If you haven't picked up Receiver 2 yet, you can buy it here or get it in a bundle with the soundtrack here.
Live Stream
This month we also ran our first ever Twitch stream, with the talented Leo Wiggins (Voice from Receiver 2) taking the wheel to play the game for the first time. It was an absolute blast to hang out with you all in our Twitch chat and we're super excited to do more streams in the future, so make sure you follow our Twitch channel so you don't miss them!
The Receiver 2 Teaser You NEVER Saw
Back in March we decided to show you all one of the Receiver 2 teasers that we never released from our reveal event in December 2019, and also explained why we ultimately decided to cut it from the line-up.

This is the time we have prepared for. Our new game Receiver 2 is available for download on both Steam and the Humble Store! There is a 10% launch week discount, and a 15% additional discount for owners of Receiver 1 or Overgrowth.

Community Events
We have a whole bunch of community events and activities planned for the next few months, if you'd like to keep up to date and take part in them then you should join our Discord server, which acts as the central hub for our community!

Announcing Receiver 2!
The most realistic gun simulator ever returns in Receiver 2, which will launch early 2020. You can add it to your Steam wishlist right now on the Receiver 2 Steam Page!
Receiver 2 will launch with eight different sidearms, including the Beretta 92FS, Colt Single-Action Army, and the iconic Desert Eagle. While the original game simulated the major moving parts of each gun, Receiver 2 simulates every single internal mechanism down to each spring and screw. Every enemy can be destroyed by a single well-placed shot, using ballistic simulation based on data from shooting incident reconstruction textbooks.
Practice the Receiver virtues of resilience, focus, and courage to resist the Threat.
Features:
- Sidearms modeled down to every spring and pin.- Enemies with physically-based damage models.
- Ballistic modeling of ricochets, penetration, and bullet drop.
- Train your mind to defend against the Mindkill.
- Become literate in how guns actually operate.
