Summary
Developer Shift Up has released a brand-new update for the popular PlayStation 5 action gameStellar Blade.Stellar Bladelaunched last April as a timed PS5 console exclusive, earning mostly positive reviews from critics and coming away as the best-selling game in the month of its release, which is especially impressive for a new IP.
Shift Up has continued to supportStellar Bladepost-launch with various updates that have addressed fan feedback and added new content. New content has mainly included fresh outfits forStellar Bladeprotagonist Eve, though there have also been things like the Great Desert Oasis that was added as part of the summer event.
Now yet another update is available forStellar Bladefans to download. Most notably, it makesStellar Blade’s popular summer eventa permanent fixture in the game, with players able to toggle it on and off. Previously, the Summer Event was going to be limited-time, so this feature will undoubtedly be appreciated by fans. Other changes include the ability to mark pins on the map, the new item Ammo Package that lets players restock all their ammo at once, a purchase confirmation to keep players from accidentally wasting their money when they try to spend over 15,000 gold at once, and"visual improvements of conflicts between Eve’s body."
Thelatter was given a visual representation by Shift Up. Basically, in situations where Eve’s arms would clip through her breasts during cutscenes, they will instead push together.Stellar Bladehas never been shy about showing off Eve, and it’s certainly taking things a step further with the new update.
WhileStellar Bladefans will no doubt appreciate the new update, it’s worth pointing out that there are even more exciting things on the horizon. It was recently announced thatStellar Bladeis crossing overwithNier: Automata, with 2B set to appear in the game in some capacity. The full scope ofStellar Blade’sNier: Automatacrossover has yet to be revealed, but more information on that front should come to light in the weeks ahead.
In the meantime,Stellar Bladefans will also get to see Eve in a completely different game. AStellar BladeVIP Bot is making its wayto critically-acclaimed 3D platformerAstro Botas part of its fall update. An exact date has yet to be revealed, butStellar Bladefans can expect the bot version of Eve to make her debut at some point between now and mid-December.
