Fresh Details on Blades of Fire Revealed

The developers at MercurySteam, alumni of Rebel Act Studios, bring their experience from the cult classic Severance: Blade of Darkness, released in 2001. This game was renowned for its innovative combat system that enabled players to dismember enemies, injecting a level of brutality and realism into the gameplay. Severance has served as a significant source of inspiration for MercurySteam's new project.

In crafting their latest game, the team has also taken cues from contemporary action-adventure titles. Notably, they've drawn inspiration from the cinematic combat and richly detailed world of Santa Monica Studio's God of War reboot. The aim is to fuse fast-paced action with RPG elements, crafting an immersive and engaging gaming experience for players.

A standout feature of Blades of Fire is its unique weapon crafting system. Players can forge their own blades, customizing aspects like length, weight, durability, and balance. This system allows for personalization, enabling players to adapt their weapons to their preferred combat style, adding depth and strategy to the gameplay.

The narrative of Blades of Fire centers on the warrior Aran de Lira, who finds himself in a battle against a cunning queen with the power to turn metal into stone. Throughout his quest, Aran will encounter 50 different enemy types, each demanding a specific strategy to overcome.

Blades of Fire is set to launch on PC (Epic Games Store), Xbox Series, and PS5 on May 22, 2025, promising a thrilling experience for fans of action-adventure and RPG genres.
