Blades of Fire follows a slightly different pattern from the common market trend, as there’s only one edition. The solo edition is priced at $59.99 (prior to any applicable discount), but there are pre-order bonuses available. If you decide to pre-order before May 22, here are some of the benefits you’ll get.

  • Iron Paladin Attire for Aran
  • Lore of Steel Attire for Aran
  • Additional Forging Materials
  • Hammer Head for Hyssop Weapon

The pre-order bonuses are available for both PC and consoles.

Blades of Fire platforms

Blades of Fire will be released on consoles and PC, but with some limitations. For starters, it will only be available for the current-gen consoles of Xbox and PlayStation. PC users will have to rely on Epic Games Store to purchase their copy of the title as it won’t be released on Steam. The game won’t be available on the Nintendo Switch, and there’s no news of a possible Switch 2 port as of writing.
