Blades of Fire developers MercurySteam have been hard at work getting their new release working as intended. In the last few days they have released two updates for the game which aim to fix a number of issues.

Releasing today (30 May) is hotfix 1.2.2, following 1.2.1 on 28 May.

Hotfix 1.2.2

Releasing today across Epic Games, Steam, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, the following fixes have been released:

• We've introduced a fix to prevent a random blocker in the last part of the Skeleton Kid escort mission. Anyone affected only has to go to the Library entrance, and they can continue the mission from there.  
• Included a fix to prevent random crashes during the Aecides' Boss Battle. 
• Fixed a bug on the Forgers Oracle that could sometimes leave some secrets undiscovered on the map even after those secrets were discovered.
