Fireside Games had a bit of a hiccup with their upcoming game Hotshots, as they weren’t able to release it as quickly as they originally thought they’d be able to. Now they have announced their new release date.
Fireside Games is happy to announce that the production of Hotshots, their new cooperative, press-your-luck firefighting game, is expected to conclude at the end of the month and a revised street date of September 20 has been set.
Production was delayed to ensure high quality flame minis, and the new street date includes a buffer of two weeks based on reports from other publishers about an increase in length of inspections at Customs.
Fireside Games be running demos in booth 106 at Origins Game Fair, which runs June 14–June 18. They will be posting a video close-up of the minis and a How-to-Play video soon. The rules can be downloaded here.
While it’s unfortunate that they’ll miss the Gen Con window, I’m sure we’ll get a better gaming experience in the long run. Look at becoming a firefighter in September.
While not working as a Database Administrator, Keith Schleicher has been associated with Gaming Trend since 2003. While his love of video games started with the Telestar Alpha (a pong console with four different games), he trule started playing video games when he received the ill-fated TI-99/4A. While the Speech Synthesizer seemed to be the height of gaming, eventually a 286 AT computer running at 8/12 Hz and a CGA monitor would be his outlet for a while. Eventually he’d graduate to 386, 486, Pentium, and Athlon systems, building some of those systems while doing some hardware reviews and attending Comdex. With the release of the Dreamcast that started his conversion to the console world. Since then he has acquired an NES, SNES, PS2, PS3, PSP, GBA-SP, DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One S, Gamecube, Wii, Switch, and Oculus Quest 2. While not playing video games he enjoys bowling, reading, playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies and TV. He originally hails from Wisconsin but is now living in Michigan with his wife and sons.
