Blades For Hire invites you into the world of mercenaries - sign up for the playtest.

Hello, dear players!

We - the DoubleTap team, in collaboration with publisher Valkyrie Initiative - are pleased to announce that our strategy game Blades For Hire is taking part in the Ancient Costume Game Festival on Steam.

In this game, you will take command of a guild of mercenaries in a world where honor has long lost its value, and survival depends on tough decisions - your decisions.

[h2]PLAYTEST SIGN-UPS ARE OPEN![/h2]
To celebrate the festival, we would like to invite you to sign up for the playtest.
To register, click the “Request Access” button on the game’s Steam page.

Today, as promised, we are sharing more details about the playtest - but first, we suggest watching a short trailer dedicated to the festival and the start of registration.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h2]WHAT AWAITS PLAYTEST PARTICIPANTS:[/h2]
- An improved version of the game, based on feedback collected from the currently available demo version.
- Bonus content.
- Two available Steam achievements, one of which will unlock unique equipment.

[h3]🏆EXCLUSIVE REWARD:[/h3]
For participating in the playtest and fulfilling certain conditions, each participant will have the opportunity to receive unique body armor and a two-handed sword when the game is released.

Conditions to receive the reward:
- Add the game to your wishlist.
- Follow the publisher page on Steam.
- During the playtest, earn the Steam achievement "Old Guard".

To earn the "Old Guard" achievement, you must complete the playtest without hiring new recruits.
This means you can only use the mercenaries available from the start. Since they can die, flee, or quit if not paid on time, this can be quite a challenge.

[h3]The playtest is scheduled to launch in the first quarter of 2026.[/h3]
When the playtest begins, you will receive a notification.
For now, you can already complete the first requirement by adding the game to your wishlist so you don’t miss the start of the playtest.
