What is Blade of Darkness?
Blade of Darkness is a 2001 3D third-person PC action game with an accent on close-quarter, hand-to-hand combat. It was created by Spanish developer Rebel Act Studios and published by Codemasters. After the demise of Rebel Act Studios, three of the former employees went on to found software designer Digital Legends. A few other members went on to form MercurySteam Entertainment. The original subtitle in direct translation from Spanish is Blade: The Edge of Darkness. There was however a show with the same title in the United States, so the US publisher changed the subtitle to Blade of Darkness and the same label was pressed on the European copies as well, even though no sword of this exact name was featured in the game.
A remastered version was released on Steam and GOG in October 2021, and one year later on Nintendo Switch through the Nintendo eShop, marking the debut of this game on any home console. It was released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in March 2023.
