Metroid Dread studio announces new action-adventure Blades of Fire

MercurySteam, the developer behind Metroid Dread, has introduced its next game: Blades of Fire.

Set for release this May, the action-adventure game is fully 3D and seems more akin to the studio's work on Castlevania: Lords of Shadow than the Nintendo Metroidvania.

The key mechanic in Blades of Fire appears to be The Forge - as players find scrolls they can create new weapons to suit their playstyle based on weight, length, durability. Penetration, and edge quality. There are seven weapon families and 30 unique Forge Scrolls, so plenty of possible combinations.

MercurySteam also promises a challenging combat system, in which players need to target specific enemy body parts and attack with the right damage type - slash. Stab, or bludgeon. There are over 50 enemy types with varying attack styles and armour types to overcome.

The above trailer gives a sense of the game's story too, as players take on the role of gruff hero Aran de Lira. Firstborn of the King’s Ward. The newly crowned evil queen has cast a spell that turns metal into stone, and her abominations wield a divine metal against which other blades shatter.

Aran is joined by a companion, Adso, a scholar who conveniently speaks the lost tongue of the divine forgers.

"MercurySteam's pedigree for creating unique and. Beloved games is just one of the many reasons we're thrilled to partner with them on Blades of Fire," expressed Neil Ralley, president of publisher 505 Games. "Their gaming system that transforms weapons customisation into an outstanding combat experience is astounding, as is their commitment to telling the best story possible. We can't wait to share it with the world."

Blades of Fire is set for release on 22nd May across PC (Epic Games Store), PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Building on these developments, the studio's last game was Metroid Dread, which received an Essential from Eurogamer, with former editor Martin Robinson describing it as "a sublime return for a "Nintendo icon." That followed the 3DS remake of Metroid: Samus Returns.

Before that, the studio was best known for the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow games. The first of which was received favourably when it released back in 2010.

The PSVR 2 Gets A Permanant $150 Price Cut

Sony introduced an official price drop for the PSV2, bringing the VR headset's base price to $400 starting in March. The change applies to both the PSV2 base model (was $550) and the Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle (was $600) available at major retailers. While the price drop goes into effect soon, the rollout will vary between stores. Some retailers, like Amazon and Target, are already listing certain models for the new price online. While others are still selling the PSVR 2 at its launch price. Be sure to check the links below so that you'll catch when the new $400 PSVR 2 price is live.

Now that the PSVR 2 is more affordable. That frees you up to grab a few VR-compatible PS5 games to use the headset with. There are dozens of PSVR 2 games available, including VR-, Alien: Rogue Incursion, and Metro Awakening VR, and PS5 games with dedicated VR modes like Gran Turismo 7, Tetris Effect: Connected, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 8. And No Man's Sky.

The Red Rising board game is candy for fans, and it’s 54% off now

For a limited time, the Red Rising board game , and adaptation of the novel by Pierce Brown, is just $ (was $24) at Amazon. That’s a significant discount on a game that should hold over fans who are waiting ever so patiently for the book’s sequel, Red God. Which still doesn’t have a release date. This is the biggest price drop so far in 2025.

Our reviewer enjoyed the game on its own merits, but. As a self-described “delirious fan” of Brown’s series, thinks that it shines particularly bright for fans of Red Rising because of how well it adapts the source material. The game was , and was designed by Jamey Stegmaier and Alexander Schmidt. Hopefully, playing this game will make the wait a little easier for Red God, but perhaps, it’ll only make the wait harder.

Sony lately revealed its strategy for growing its brand and unlocking the Chinese market: help local developers succeed worldwide.
