Of Ash and Steel is an action role-playing game developed by Fire & Frost and published by tinyBuild for Windows.[2][1] It was released on November 24, 2025.[3]
Gameplay
Of Ash and Steel takes place on an island called the Kingdom of the Seven that has fallen into a state of disrepair.[4][5] The game has no quest marker system to encourage the player to explore the map.[6][4] Combat features swords and bows as well as magical elements.[4] The player's abilities can be customized, which changes how he is viewed by non-player characters (NPCs).[4]
Development
Fire & Frost stated that their goal as a studio is to make games inspired by role-playing video games (RPGs) from the 2000s.[2] Head of Fire & Frost Studios, Victor Kondakov, was the lead developer.[1] The game was developed in Unreal Engine 4.[7]
Release
The game was originally scheduled to be released on November 6, 2025.[8] The development team delayed its release to November 24 after discovering technical issues that needed additional work.[9]
