After Metroid Dread and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, MercurySteam has pulled back the curtain on its next ambitious title, Blades of Fire.
This action-adventure game is launching on May 22, 2025, earlier than expected, with a surprisingly short marketing cycle.
Blades of Fire is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on the Epic Games Store, promising a gripping experience filled with customizable options, strategic combat, and an enchanting fantasy environment.
Blades of Fire (or Project Iron as it was called) has been in the works for years, with MercurySteam perfecting its action-adventure gameplay. While details remain closely guarded, the studio hinted at a world full of risk and secrets, where players get to make their own path.
In contrast to traditional action RPGs, Blades of Fire leans heavily into tactical decision-making. Players will need more than just sword swings. They'll have to be strategic and pick the right tools for the task.
The game's announcement trailer showcases fast-paced combat, stunning environments, and an eerie atmosphere that hints at the world's darker mysteries. Players get a brief look at intense sword fights, large-scale battles, and glimpses of the game's antagonist, Queen Nerea. The trailer's cinematics lay the groundwork for a grand adventure, merging fantasy and strategy with MercurySteam's iconic style.
For those eager to jump in on day one, Blades of Fire is now available for pre-order. Players who get in on the action early will unlock the Adventurer Pack, which includes special attire, bonus crafting resources, and an exclusive weapon enhancement.
Thanks to MercurySteam's solid track record in action games, Blades of Fire is looking like one of the most thrilling releases of 2025.
While more details are expected soon, players can circle May 22nd on their calendars and gear up for an exciting new journey.
