Milton Keynes, 11th February 2026 - Global Publisher 505 Games and developer MercurySteam are excited to announce the Steam version of the dark-fantasy adventure Blades of Fire which will launch globally on May 14th featuring significant updates and new content.

Play as Aran de Lira, the last warrior able to forge true steel in a world where metal turns to stone. Survival depends on patience, understanding, and commitment to the weapons you choose to create.

Combat is deliberate, weighty, and unforgiving. Weapons are forged with intent and permanently shaped by your choices. Progress comes from understanding your enemy and the blade you forged to face them.

Designed for players who value atmosphere, challenge, and consequence over speed and spectacle.

Currently available on EPIC PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, Blades of Fire can be wishlisted here.

To celebrate the Steam announcement, starting today, players can download a dedicated demo as part of the upcoming Steam Next Fest – which will cover the first chapter of the game allowing you to forge your first weapons, experience the unique combat system, encounter a big troll and learn more about Aran's journey.
