Blades of Fire update 2.0 will add new content and improvements starting with New Game+, an option that is usually unlocked once the main campaign has been completed and allows you to start the adventure again but keeping the improvements. This mode comes with rewards, including new weapon parts and skins. For players looking for a new challenge, we have the Titano challenge level. We know that it will be more difficult than available difficulty levels, but the details have not been revealed.
Among the new features of the update we also have Element Transmutation, which will allow players to change the types of materials, and Adso spells on weapons, a feature that promises «deeper combat» thanks to the introduction of spells that improve the abilities of weapons with special effects. Game options will be expanded with Boss Rebirth mode, which opens the door to repeat boss fights and earn rewards. Loot from this mode is tied to Adso's spells. In addition, there is a photo mode and the possibility of petting the ox.
In the improvements section we find expanded death and mutilation variants, improved transition animations and implementation of Nvidia's DLSS4. Finally, the option to remap control using keyboard and mouse, new achievements and compatibility with Steam Deck are added.
For those who don't know it, Blades of Fire is an adventure that follows the story of Aran de Lira, a warrior who after the rise of Queen Nerea has become the last of his kind capable of forging true steel. Our protagonist's mission is to destroy Nerea and to do so he has the help of Adso de Zelik, a student and strategist who also analyzes and documents the enemies. The combat system is tactical, rewards the correct use of attacks and is limited by a stamina bar. Players can adopt three combat styles and forge a complete arsenal of weapons.
