MercurySteam, the studio behind Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Metroid Dread, is set to release its next action-packed title, Blades of Fire, on May 22, 2025, exclusively for PS5 and the Epic Games Store at launch.
A Dark Fantasy Tale of Blades and Revenge
In Blades of Fire, you step into the shoes of Aran de Lira, a legendary blacksmith and the last hope against the tyrannical Queen Nerea. She has cursed the world by turning weapons into stone, leaving warriors defenseless. However, Aran possesses the unique ability to forge metal weapons, which will be key to surviving and taking down the queen’s monstrous minions.
The game blends fast-paced hack-and-slash combat with deep weapon crafting, allowing players to create customized swords, axes, and more. If you enjoy the brutal yet strategic action of Elden Ring or God of War, this game will be right up your alley.
Stunning Combat and Gothic Atmosphere
The recently released trailer showcases fluid, visceral combat with a dark, gothic fantasy aesthetic. The enemies range from grotesque monsters to twisted knights, all set within haunting medieval landscapes. MercurySteam’s expertise in atmospheric storytelling is evident, and the combat appears to emphasize precision dodging, parries, and devastating counterattacks.
Exclusive Launch and Future Platforms
At launch, Blades of Fire will be exclusive to the Epic Games Store on PC, with a potential Steam release in the future. On consoles, it will arrive first on PS5, with no confirmation yet for Xbox or Switch.
Final Thoughts: A Must-Play for Hack-and-Slash Fans?
With its deep weapon-forging system, intense combat, and gripping story, Blades of Fire is shaping up to be one of the most exciting action RPGs of 2025. Will it live up to the legacy of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow? We’ll find out on May 22!
