A New Open-World RPG Combining The Witcher 3 and Fable Elements

There are very few RPGs out there that can immerse players in their worlds the same way popular, time-tested titles like Fable or The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt do, but a newly released open-world role-playing adventure from Fire & Frost studios aims to do just that.

Of Ash and Steel is a brand-new, open-world action RPG for PC with immersive third-person gameplay that is available now on Steam. The new RPG places players in the role of Tristan, a warrior in the Kingdom of the Seven, and allows for versatile playstyles and a reactive narrative experience where your decisions impact story events.
