Middlesbrough, UK – March 25, 2025 – Double Eleven is excited to announce a major update for Blindfire , the studio’s debut IP that launched into Early Access in October 2024 for PS5, Xbox, and PC. Titled “Blow Them Up,” this latest patch introduces thrilling new features, including grenades and melee combat, alongside enhancements to game modes, and significant performance improvements.
