Blades of Fire Update 1.002 Slices Out for Demo Progression Fixes

The developers at MercurySteam has released two patches for Blades of Fire in one day, with the second one appearing as version 1.002 for console gamers. As one might expect given the game was just released, this title update aims to fix something rather than add any new content.

To be more specific, the patch is for those who played the demo available now on all platforms, and are looking to carryover their progress to the retail build of the game.

Blades of Fire’s First Post-Release Patch Is for Demo Progression Issues via Update 1.002

MercurySteam has mentioned this about the title update, “For those who have played the demo and picked up a copy of the full game, please ensure you have downloaded the latest update and installed it fully before continuing. This will ensure you can carry on your adventure where you left off.”

“The demo save is not recognised until the game has fully downloaded. If you don’t do this, the Continue icon will be greyed out,” the studio added.

This patch, however, doesn’t fix all the issues associated with demo progress. If you’re still having issues, the developers advise people to report it to the publisher’s support page.
