MercurySteam, the studio behind Blades of Fire, boasts a lineage deeply rooted in gaming history. Many of its developers hail from Rebel Act Studios, creators of the legendary 2001 title, Severance: Blade of Darkness. This cult classic, renowned for its groundbreaking limb-severing combat system, served as a major inspiration for Blades of Fire's development.
However, Blades of Fire isn't just a nostalgic throwback. The game also draws 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 results in a fast-paced action-RPG experience, seamlessly merging visceral combat with immersive RPG elements.
A key feature of Blades of Fire is its innovative weapon crafting system. Players can forge their own unique blades, meticulously customizing aspects like length, weight, durability, and balance. This allows for personalized weapon builds tailored to individual playstyles, ensuring a truly unique combat experience.
The game's narrative follows Aran de Lira, a warrior embroiled in a conflict with a formidable queen possessing the power to transform metal into stone. Aran's journey will be fraught with peril, pitting him against 50 distinct enemy types, each demanding a strategic and adaptable approach.
Blades of Fire launches on PC (Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 on May 22, 2025.
