New Information About Blades of Fire

MercurySteam, the studio behind Blades of Fire, boasts a lineage deeply rooted in gaming history. Many of its developers hail from Rebel Act Studios, the creators of the legendary Severance: Blade of Darkness. Released in 2001, Severance captivated players with its groundbreaking limb-severing combat, a brutal yet realistic approach that profoundly influenced Blades of Fire.

But Blades of Fire isn't just a throwback. It also draws inspiration from modern action-adventure giants, particularly the cinematic combat and richly detailed world of Santa Monica Studio's God of War reboot. This blend of influences results in a fast-paced action-RPG experience promising immersive gameplay.

A key feature is Blades of Fire's innovative weapon crafting system. Players forge their own blades, meticulously customizing length, weight, durability, and balance to perfectly match their combat style. This level of personalization ensures a unique and rewarding experience.

The game 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.

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