Video games can take unique paths when game devs decide to do something special and forgo a traditional path. In the case of Bladesong, instead of being a mighty warrior going on a quest to save the world, you’re the swordsmith who makes the weapons these fighters need to survive. The game is currently on Steam Early Access, and the teams at Sun and Serpent and Mythwright have released the third major content update for the title. That means you’ll have new people to meet, more kinds of swords to create, and more! Check out the content breakdown and trailer below:

“In Chapter 3, players face new challenges to reclaim Astrid from her fate, while famine and riots follow in the wake of the warehouse fire. Continue Bladesong’s story and discover a brand new character joining your crew, Ezrae the Fighter, whose strength and experience enables swordsmiths to expand their knowledge with swords effective against specific kinds of foes.

Away from the fires of the forge, the new Forge Garden lets players grow plants, harvest ingredients and apply recipes to craft
mythical blades, while the new Compendium introduces an encyclopedia of foes found in the world. Study the compendium to
gather clues and experiment with sword types that exploit enemy weaknesses, helping to lead your fighter to victory and unique loot.”

You’ll have a blast making all these new blades and attempting to sway the tide of battle via your crafts. Do you think you’re up to the challenge to make the best blades possible? If so, dive into the Early Access build and help craft the game yourself! You can also get the game on the Epic Games Store.
