New Game Announced by Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Creators
MercurySteam, the Spanish studio renowned for its contributions to titles like *Castlevania: Lords of Shadow* and *Metroid Dread*, has just announced their latest venture: an action-RPG called *Blades of Fire*. In partnership with publisher 505 Games, this new game aims to plunge players into a gripping dark fantasy universe teeming with enigmatic races and terrifying creatures.
The debut trailer for *Blades of Fire* highlights a thrilling hack-and-slash combat system, a distinctive visual style, and a deeply atmospheric setting. Fans of MercurySteam's work will notice similarities in gameplay and artistic design to *Lords of Shadow*, while the game's environments and enemy designs draw clear inspiration from the *Darksiders* series. A standout feature in the trailer is a mechanical bird, which appears to be a key element for the protagonist's navigation through the game's expansive world.
Developed on MercurySteam's own Mercury Engine, *Blades of Fire* may sidestep the optimization challenges that plague many modern games running on Unreal Engine 5. This proprietary engine could ensure a smoother, more polished experience for players.
Mark your calendars for May 22, 2025, when *Blades of Fire* is set to launch. It will be available on the latest consoles, including PS5 and Xbox Series, as well as on PC through the Epic Games Store.
