New Game Announced by Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Creators

The acclaimed Spanish studio MercurySteam, renowned for their contributions to titles like *Castlevania: Lords of Shadow* and *Metroid Dread*, has exciting news for gamers: they're crafting a new action-RPG called *Blades of Fire*. This project, developed hand-in-hand with publisher 505 Games, is set to plunge players into a gripping dark fantasy realm, brimming with enigmatic races and daunting creatures.

The initial trailer for *Blades of Fire* reveals a thrilling hack-and-slash combat system, a distinctive visual style, and an immersive, shadowy atmosphere. Fans might notice echoes of *Lords of Shadow* in its gameplay and art design, while the game's environments and foes draw inspiration from the *Darksiders* series. A highlight from the trailer is a mechanical bird, hinting at an innovative way for the protagonist to navigate the expansive game world.

Developed on MercurySteam's own Mercury Engine, *Blades of Fire* aims to sidestep the optimization hurdles that plague some games built on Unreal Engine 5, potentially offering a smoother gameplay experience.

Mark your calendars for the release of *Blades of Fire* on May 22, 2025. It will be available on the latest generation of consoles, including the PS5 and Xbox Series, as well as on PC via the Epic Games Store (EGS).
