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 yet realistic approach to gameplay—served as a major inspiration for Blades of Fire.

But Blades of Fire isn't just a throwback. The developers also drew heavily 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 aims to deliver a fast-paced, RPG-infused experience that's both engaging and immersive.

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

The game follows the journey of Aran de Lira, a warrior locked in a desperate struggle against a cunning queen with the power to transform metal into stone. Aran will face a diverse roster of 50 enemy types, each demanding a distinct tactical approach.

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