MercurySteam, the studio behind Blades of Fire, boasts a heritage 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 throwback. It also draws 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 results in a fast-paced action game infused with RPG elements, promising a captivating and immersive experience.
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 fighting style.
The game follows Aran de Lira, a warrior locked in a desperate struggle against a formidable queen with the power to turn metal to stone. His journey will pit 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.
