What Blades of Fire is

Blades of Fire is an adventure game developed by MercurySteam and released in 2025. It was published by 505 Games. It is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Mercury Engine.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Long ago, the world was ruled by a race of mighty giants, known as The Forgers. In their wisdom, they reigned over a time of magnificence and wonder, until a devasting war erupted, and their civilisation fell into ruin. Faced with the looming threat of annihilation, The Forgers fashioned human beings to accept their mantle and bestowed upon them their most treasured legacy, the secret of The Steel. With this knowledge, humanity rose to power and came to dominate all. Thousands of years have passed, and the mighty Queen Nerea has cast a spell that turns her enemies’ steel to stone, twisting the legacy of the Antient Forgers against most of humanity.
