Blades of Fire first came out in May last year, releasing 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 soulslike qualities, including a vast interconnected world, challenging enemies, and a brutal checkpointing 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 impacts their stats. Latest Videos From You may like The 17 best Steam Deck games 2025 The 25 best PC games to play right now The 28 best Xbox Series X games to play right now

There are loads of weapon types to try, with more gradually unlocked as you progress, and multiple stances with distinct advantages and disadvantages. It's also very pretty, with a surprisingly lush selection of environments
that span from massive fantasy castles to vibrant forests.

This Steam version launches alongside the game's big 2.0 update, which introduces a wealth of new features. This includes new game plus, a new extra-hard difficulty level, arena-style trials to conquer, special spells
for your in-game companion Adso, and more. There's even a photo mode to snap some of your favorite shots.

If you already own the game, you'll be pleased to hear that the update is
also out on other platforms and is free of charge.

You can visit the Steam store page to pick up the game with a special,
limited time 25% launch discount that lasts until May 21, 2026. Get daily insight, inspiration and deals in your inbox Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.
