New Information About Blades of Fire

MercurySteam, the studio behind Blades of Fire, boasts a lineage deeply rooted in gaming history. Its developers are veterans of Rebel Act Studios, the creators of the iconic 2001 title, Severance: Blade of Darkness. This cult classic, renowned for its groundbreaking limb-severing combat system, served as a major inspiration for Blades of Fire, injecting a visceral realism into its design.

But Blades of Fire isn't just a throwback. It also draws heavily from modern action-adventure giants, particularly the cinematic combat and richly detailed world of Santa Monica Studio's God of War reboot. The result is a thrilling blend of fast-paced action and RPG elements, promising a deeply immersive experience.

A key innovation in Blades of Fire is its intricate weapon crafting system. Players will forge their own blades, meticulously customizing length, weight, durability, and balance to perfectly match their combat style. This level of personalization ensures a uniquely tailored gameplay experience for each player.

The game follows the epic journey of Aran de Lira, a warrior locked in a desperate struggle against a formidable queen with the power to transform metal into stone. His path is fraught with peril, pitting 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.
