505 Games has revealed a new game from MercurySteam, the team behind Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Clive Barker’s Jericho. This new game is called Blades of Fire, it’s a third-person action game, and you can find its debut gameplay trailer below.
Sadly, 505 Games hasn’t sent us yet a press release for it. Moreover, I can’t find any store page on Steam or Epic Games as of yet.
What’s interesting here is that Blades of Fire will come out on May 22nd, 2025. That’s almost two months from now. So, I don’t really know why we don’t have any other details for it.
Anyway, you can go ahead and watch its gameplay trailer. As you will see, Blades of Fire will have lots of blood. Players will also be able to cut off the limbs of their enemies.
I’ll be sure to update the story with more details once 505 Games sends us a press release. In theory, we should also get the official PC requirements soon. From what I can see, the game won’t require a high-end PC system.
Enjoy!
UPDATE:
Here are some more details about it. Blades of Fire is an all-new action adventure that takes you across a beautiful world full of uncertainty and challenge. Players will take on the role of Aran de Lira, firstborn of the King’s Ward.
The game will have a unique and challenging combat system. This will allow you to attack specific body parts of the enemy. As such, you can slash, stab or bludgeon enemies depending on the situation and what the enemy is equipped with.
In a way, this reminds me of Die by the Sword. This was an action adventure game that came out on PC in 1998. And, like Blades of Fire, it allowed you to cut the limbs of your enemies.
505 Games will release the game exclusively on Epic Games Store. In other words, it won’t hit Steam on launch day. So, I guess the game uses Unreal Engine? That’s the most logical assumption.

Yeah i aint falling for it.
Western devs can't compete with the East now. These character designs look so damn boring. For god sake, learn to exaggerate designs! The characters look like they're made to be easy to cosplay, not cool to look at. Even AI comes up with better stuff.
I think their GaaS game Raiders of the Broken Planet Aka Spacelords flopped. I like these devs, been some time i wanted to replay Lords of Shadow 2, quite underrated.
i think the first Lords of Shadow was amazing but the second with it's modern day levels was bad, for me. I was so dissapointed back then after waiting 4 years for it.
The sneaking levels was annoying but it was good for the most part.
can't say i like the art direction
Well, i like the camera direction. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e71db5f714bd574aba1cfa224fcc46de8b640992f9fd4af5fcc4558dea72509a.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/057796ea14f09fa695443c7b3d470fe6e7f8c26c14805b4773ac51146e7ae316.png
That's Samuel Jackson with boobs
epic store exclusive? LOL no one buys from that failed store, plus in 2024 it had a 18% drop in third party game sales, good luck aahhaha
i saw dismemberment and i'm intrigued, simple as that
Blades of Particle Effects ……
Damn, you just remembered me of the first Lord of Fallen. It had peak particle effects.
Honestly, when i first saw the thumbnail of this article i thought it was castlevania at first.
I'm really interested now.
Very bold of them having it Epic Games Store exclusive in 2025 or did I time-travel back to 2019 somehow.
Right? I thought devs learned their lesson by now.
>MercurySteam
🤮
I hope the combat feels snappy and not like a slog. Reminds me a bit of Bounds by Blade. The Gore looks awesome tho
I've had a soft spot for this studio since Jericho. a new IP back in the day. C:LoS was GREAT fun and had a Euro/Spanish art style that was rare, then and Now. also Devs from different counties/cultures gets me excited, seeing how they'll approach the basics.
