MercurySteam and 505 Games are gearing up to release Blades of Fire, a fantasy action game that’s already got people talking — and for good reason. Set to launch on 22 May 2025 for PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PS5, and Xbox, the game promises intense weapon-focused combat where mastering your arsenal is the only way to survive.
But here’s the kicker: you won’t have to wait until release day to get a taste. The developers have announced that a demo is dropping “soon” across all platforms, letting players dive into the world of Blades of Fire before its full launch. While the exact date for the demo hasn’t been revealed yet, it’s likely to land a few days before the official release, perfect for building hype and giving fans a taste of what’s to come.

About Blades of Fire
Blades of Fire isn’t your typical action RPG. Forget about grinding for overpowered loot or relying on endless stat upgrades. Instead, the game zeroes in on the weapons you wield and how well you can handle them. Every encounter, from early skirmishes to late-game boss fights, will test your combat skills and weapon mastery. You won’t get far without learning the ins and outs of your arsenal.


What to expect from the demo?
The short clip shared by MercurySteam on X (formerly Twitter) features players clamouring for a Blades of Fire demo, and the studio is delivering. While the demo’s content hasn’t been specified, it’s a safe bet that players will get a first-hand look at the game’s weapon mechanics and maybe even a slice of the narrative. If the demo mirrors the GDC showcase, expect a focus on forging, combat, and maybe a glimpse at some of the game’s key weapons.

With the full release just days away, this demo is a smart move to pull in more players, especially those on the fence about diving into another fantasy action game. Stay tuned for more updates as MercurySteam confirms the demo’s drop date.
