New Information About Blades of Fire

The developers at MercurySteam, comprised of alumni from Rebel Act Studios, bring their experience from the cult classic game Severance: Blade of Darkness to their new project, Blades of Fire. Released in 2001, Severance was notable for its unique combat system, which allowed players to sever enemies' limbs, introducing a level of brutality and realism that became a key inspiration for the new team.

In creating Blades of Fire, the team also drew upon modern action-adventure titles. They were particularly inspired by the cinematic combat and richly detailed world found in the God of War reboot by Santa Monica Studio. The goal was to blend fast-paced action with RPG elements, crafting an engaging and immersive gaming experience for players.

A standout feature in Blades of Fire is its unique weapon crafting system. Players have the opportunity to forge their own blades, customizing aspects such as length, weight, durability, and balance. This flexibility allows each player to tailor their weapons to suit their preferred combat style, adding a personal touch to the gameplay.

The narrative of Blades of Fire centers on the warrior Aran de Lira, who embarks on a quest that pits him against a cunning queen with the power to turn metal into stone. Throughout his journey, Aran will encounter 50 different types of enemies, each demanding a unique strategy to defeat.

Blades of Fire is set to launch on PC (via the Epic Games Store), Xbox Series, and PS5 on May 22, 2025, promising a thrilling addition to the action-adventure genre.
