Blades of Fire Releases Teaser for Upcoming Announcement

MercurySteam and 505 Games released Blades of Fire last year on the 22nd of May 2025, a well-received challenging third-person RPG title. In our review, Mick called it "one of 2025's most surprising videogames for all the right reasons" — check out what he had to say in his review for more of his thoughts.

Now, Blades of Fire is teasing something major with a brand-new trailer dropping on the official YouTube channel. The weapon-crafting soulslike title shares just a brief 15 seconds of content in the teaser, leaving players guessing about the video and what it means.

Speculation based on the teaser's name and the trailer indicates that the Epic Games exclusivity contract is ending, and the title could be released on Steam this year. This is from the content of the video, as Aran de Lira dips a smouldering blade into a pool of water, rising steam, and the name including the Steam From Nose emoji.

The teaser indicates that players can expect more information on the 11th of February 2026. Check out the trailer embedded above to join the speculation yourself!
