- Blades of Fire has just arrived on Steam
- The game was originally released for PC via the Epic Games Store and consoles last May
- It comes alongside the launch of a huge content update and a 25% discount
One of the most underrated games of 2025 has just arrived on Steam along with the release of a massive new update.
Blades of Fire first came out last May and came out for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S and PC via the Epic Games Store. It’s a third-person action game with plenty of soul-like qualities, including a huge cohesive world, challenging enemies, and a brutal control system.
What sets it apart from countless other similar titles is its blacksmithing theme, which extends to almost every facet of the game. You have to build your own weapons, for example via a surprisingly comprehensive forging system that directly affects their stats.
There are plenty of weapon types to try, with more gradually unlocked as you progress, and more stances with distinct pros and cons. It’s also very beautiful, with a surprisingly lush variety of environments ranging from massive fantasy castles to vibrant forests.
This Steam version launches alongside the game’s major 2.0 update, which introduces a host of new features. This includes New Game Plus, a new Extra Hard difficulty, arena-style trials to conquer, special spells for your in-game companion Adso, and more. There’s even a photo mode to take some of your favorite shots.
If you already own the game, you’ll be happy to know that the update is also out on other platforms and is free.
You can visit the Steam store page to pick up the game with a special limited-time launch discount of 25% that lasts until May 21, 2026.
