tinyBuild and Fire & Frost Announce Of Ash and Steel, a Nostalgic Open-World RPG

Indie game publisher tinyBuild and developer Fire & Frost Studios have revealed their latest project, Of Ash and Steel, a third-person open-world fantasy RPG inspired by classic adventure games. Scheduled for a 2025 release on PC via Steam, this collaboration promises a nostalgic yet modern RPG experience, blending old-school exploration with cutting-edge graphics and engaging character progression.

A Journey Through the Kingdom of the Seven

In Of Ash and Steel, players step into the boots of a humble adventurer in the Kingdom of the Seven, a harsh land filled with secrets, treasures, and perilous quests. Unlike many modern RPGs, the game leaves you to explore without quest markers, relying instead on your instincts and curiosity to navigate the world. Along the way, you'll forge alliances, uncover hidden mysteries, and evolve into a hero of legend.

The game’s five-minute reveal trailer on tinyBuild's YouTube channel showcases stunning visuals, compelling characters, and the expansive world you’ll explore. The dynamic weather system and evocative soundtrack aim to create a truly immersive experience for adventurers.
