Overview

QUByte Interactive announced that its upcoming beat ‘em up title, Blades & Battles, is scheduled for release on September 29, 2026. Inspired by Arthurian legends, the game follows younger versions of Arthur and Lancelot as they navigate a Camelot overrun by demonic and undead forces.

The game utilizes a 2.5D visual approach, combining 3D environments with pixelation filters to emulate 16-bit and arcade aesthetics. It features a campaign with eight stages and supports both single-player and local two-player cooperative modes.

Reviewers noted the distinct combat styles of the two protagonists and the accessibility of the combat system, identifying the local cooperative mode as a primary way to experience the game.
