Blades of Fire Update 1.003.001 Might Be One of the Weirdest Patches We’ve Seen
[summaraize]
MercurySteam has deployed the latest patch for the action game, Blades of Fire, with what the studio calls the game’s 1.3.1 update. If you’re on consoles, you should see this download appear as Blades of Fire update 1.003.001.
This might be one of the weirdest game updates we’ve seen given the console versions hardly got updated at all, but the PC version got a sweeping list of changes.
