Community Blog – May 2025

May has been a huge month for us and we’re finally taking a moment to stop and reflect on everything that has happened in the last few weeks. As you know, we finally launched Blades of Fire across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Epic Games. This was a monumental moment for the team at MercurySteam and 505 Games, who have worked tirelessly on this title for so long. To finally take our community on the journey we’ve been forging for so many years is an incredible feeling. We did it! We actually did it!

LAUNCH TRAILER

Now, let’s look back at the last few weeks and update you on some of the things you might have missed.

DEMO LAUNCH
Remember when we told our community we weren’t looking at launching a demo? Well, that was always the case. We never had any plans to launch a demo. But, our community made it clear they wanted one. And we changed our mind and decided to give the fans what they wanted. On May 15th, we launched a playable demo of Blades of Fire across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Epic Games.

If you’ve not played it yet, well, we’ve packed a lot in the demo. Not only do you get the opportunity to play the first few hours of Blades of Fire, but should you decide to pick up the main game, you’ll be able to carry over your save data and progress. Pretty neat, right?

What’s not to love? Head to the store now and check it out for yourself if you haven’t already.
