MercurySteam, the renowned Spanish studio behind acclaimed titles like *Castlevania: Lords of Shadow* and *Metroid Dread*, has just announced their latest endeavor: an action-RPG called *Blades of Fire*. Developed in partnership with publisher 505 Games, this new game invites players into an enthralling dark fantasy realm, teeming with enigmatic races and terrifying creatures.
The initial trailer for *Blades of Fire* has set the stage with its dynamic hack-and-slash combat, distinctive visual aesthetics, and a somber, atmospheric backdrop. Fans of MercurySteam's work will notice echoes of *Lords of Shadow* in the gameplay and artistic direction, while the game's environments and enemy designs draw inspiration from *Darksiders*. A standout feature from the trailer is a mechanical bird, suggesting players might use it to navigate the expansive game world.
*Blades of Fire* is being crafted on MercurySteam's own Mercury Engine, which could potentially sidestep the optimization challenges frequently faced by games built on Unreal Engine 5. This bespoke engine may enhance the game's performance and overall player experience.
Mark your calendars for the release of *Blades of Fire* on May 22, 2025. The game will launch on current-generation consoles including the PS5 and Xbox Series, as well as on PC through the Epic Games Store (EGS). Get ready to immerse yourself in this dark fantasy adventure brought to you by the masters at MercurySteam.
