New Information About Blades of Fire

MercurySteam, a studio boasting alumni from the creators of the cult classic Severance: Blade of Darkness, is bringing a new action-adventure title to life. Released in 2001, Severance’s innovative limb-severing combat system, a brutal and realistic approach to gameplay, served as a major inspiration for this new project.

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

One standout feature is Blades of Fire’s unique weapon crafting system. Players forge their own blades, meticulously customizing length, weight, durability, and balance to perfectly match their preferred fighting style. This level of personalization ensures a truly tailored combat experience.

The game follows Aran de Lira, a warrior locked in a desperate struggle against a cunning queen with the power to turn metal to stone. His journey will pit him against 50 distinct enemy types, each demanding a unique tactical approach.

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