Seoul, South Korea – July 17, 2025 – LINE Games’ most anticipated title, Ember and Blade, is now live exclusively on Steam and Steam Deck. Players can jump into up to two hours of razor-sharp swordplay and spell-slinging mayhem as Fenrix Haven, a former human turned immortal demon hunter, battles endless demon waves and punishing stage bosses.
Ember and Blade combines hack-and-slash combat, survival-horde pacing, roguelite progression and soulslike challenge. The demo supports keyboard and mouse or controller inputs, with controller play heavily recommended for the best experience.

Later this year the game enters Steam Early Access with larger-scale updates, balance adjustments and fresh content drops.
