New Information About Blades of Fire

MercurySteam, the studio behind Blades of Fire, boasts a lineage deeply rooted in the legacy of Severance: Blade of Darkness. Developed by Rebel Act Studios in 2001, Severance’s groundbreaking limb-severing combat system, a brutal and realistic approach to gameplay, served as a major inspiration for Blades of Fire.

But Blades of Fire isn't just a nostalgic throwback. The developers also drew heavily from modern action-adventure giants, notably the cinematic combat and richly detailed world of Santa Monica Studio's God of War reboot. This blend of influences aims to deliver a fast-paced, RPG-infused experience that's both engaging and immersive.

A key 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 combat style.

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.

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