MercurySteam has announced a major 2.0 update for its action RPG Blades of Fire, arriving on PS5 on 14 May 2026. The sizable update lands roughly a year after the game’s May 2025 release and is positioned to reignite interest in a title that didn’t break through for everyone at launch. Over the months following release the game attracted a growing number of supporters despite an initially muted critical response.

  • Update 2.0 goes live on PS5 on 14 May 2026, marking a key follow-up to the game's first year on sale.
  • The developer behind the patch is MercurySteam, bringing the studio’s post-launch support to the forefront.
  • Blades of Fire launched in May 2025 and slipped under the mainstream radar despite niche praise that accumulated over time.
  • Initial reviews were largely mixed, but player sentiment and some critics warmed to the game in subsequent months.
  • The 2.0 release is clearly aimed at bringing lapsed players and newcomers back to the action RPG’s world.
