Edge of the Blade enters Early Access with three playable factions
NINEHECTARE's strategy game launches with its first story act and a roadmap toward a planned full release.
Strategy game Edge of the Blade has launched in Steam Early Access with three playable factions, the first act of its story, and Korean and Japanese voice acting. Developer NINEHECTARE has also outlined its plans for further development.
Set in a fictional 14th-century East Asia, the game has players lead forces across a map, capture strongholds and build a deck for real-time automatic battles. In Story Mode, choices of allies and enemies affect characters’ fates and the ending. The campaign advances between strongholds week by week.
The road ahead
NINEHECTARE’s roadmap schedules Act 2 for the final quarter of 2026 and Act 3 for the planned full release in the second quarter of 2027. Unit and skill upgrades and new battle maps are planned in between. The studio cautions that content and timing may change; online player-versus-player mode has no date yet.
