Before its release, Blades of Fire was repeatedly compared to God of War. However, the project is unlikely to compete with Kratos' adventures in terms of quality. Now, the developers from MercurySteam want to try to conquer the hearts of gamers once again.
On May 14, 2026, the game will be released on Steam, and on the same day, a major free update 2.0 will be available, which should bring many fresh ideas.
New content in update 2.0:
- New Game+ mode;
- New difficulty level: Titanium;
- New weapon parts and skins;
- Elemental transmutations and photo mode;
- Boss Revival mode (battles with previously defeated bosses);
- Adso spells for weapons;
- Improved death, execution, and transition animations;
- DLSS 4 implementation;
- New achievements;
- Steam Deck support and key remapping on mouse and keyboard.
Update 2.0 will also be available on consoles.
