Blades of Fire: Fresh Updates Revealed

MercurySteam, a studio comprised of veterans from Rebel Act Studios (creators of the iconic 2001 title, Severance: Blade of Darkness), brings you Blades of Fire. Severance's groundbreaking limb-severing combat, a hallmark of brutal realism, served as a major inspiration for this new project.

But Blades of Fire isn't just a throwback. It also draws heavily from modern action-adventure giants like the rebooted God of War, incorporating its cinematic combat and richly detailed world. The result? A thrilling blend of fast-paced action and RPG elements designed for an immersive and unforgettable experience.

A key feature is the innovative weapon crafting system. Players forge their own blades, meticulously customizing length, weight, durability, and balance to perfectly match their fighting style. This level of personalization ensures a truly unique gameplay experience.

The narrative follows Aran de Lira, a warrior locked in a desperate struggle against a formidable queen with the power to turn metal to stone. His journey will pit him against 50 distinct enemy types, each demanding a strategic and adaptable approach.

Prepare for battle! Blades of Fire launches on PC (Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 on May 22, 2025.
