The renowned Spanish studio MercurySteam, celebrated for its contributions to titles like *Castlevania: Lords of Shadow* and *Metroid Dread*, has just announced their latest venture: an action-RPG named *Blades of Fire*. This exciting new project is being crafted in partnership with publisher 505 Games, promising to plunge players into a richly detailed dark fantasy realm teeming with enigmatic races and terrifying creatures.
The debut trailer for *Blades of Fire* offers a glimpse into its fast-paced hack-and-slash combat, distinctive visual flair, and a deeply atmospheric setting. Fans of MercurySteam's previous works will notice gameplay and artistic similarities to *Lords of Shadow*, while the game's environments and enemy designs echo the style of *Darksiders*. A standout feature from the trailer is a mechanical bird, which appears to be a key element for the protagonist's navigation through the expansive game world.
*Blades of Fire* is being built on MercurySteam's own Mercury Engine. This choice of engine could potentially sidestep the optimization challenges that many contemporary games face when developed on Unreal Engine 5, ensuring a smoother and more polished gaming experience.
Mark your calendars for the release of *Blades of Fire* on May 22, 2025. The game will be available on the latest generation of consoles, including PS5 and Xbox Series, as well as on PC through the Epic Games Store (EGS).
