We still had some news about Stellar Blade, the future PS5 exclusive from Shift Up. Get ready, because there is a lot of information to take in, and it will make your mouth water.
Next month, PS5 owners will be able to welcome Stellar Blade. This is a new one which, since its announcement, has caused a lot of noise. Not necessarily always for the right reasons, but that’s not the question. Generally speaking, he is eagerly awaited by the players, in particular because of his fights which seem generously nervous. And if you want to know more about the title, that’s great, because we have just obtained some rather juicy additional information.
Stellar Blade reveals more
We can thank the media Game Informer which was responsible for doing a nice article on Stellar Blade after having had an interview with Hyung-Tae Kim and Dong-Gi Lee, the director and producer of the game. So obviously, it is not is not content to analyze what we had already seen in the different trailers. He also told us things we didn’t know about exclusivity. Starting with the costumes for the heroine. We are told that there will be around 30 to wear. They can be found during the adventure or distributed via rewards. It will even be possible to manufacture some of them. It is still important to specify that the interest is purely aesthetic. They will not have any influence on the character’s statistics.
Then, we learn that development of Stellar Blade started in 2018, and that the studio’s biggest inspiration was Nier: Automata. Well, that, for once, we understood with its universe and the demonstration of power of Eve, the protagonist. Moreover, the fights will visibly be eye-popping, while maintaining constant tension. We can parry, dodge and use a whole bunch of devastating combos. We got a glimpse of it a few days ago, and it was quite impressive.
As for the story, we are informed that Eve is human and that she is seen as a “angel who came down from deep space with a sword”. What’s interesting is that the Stellar Blade (yes) will be the only big weapon she will have. We can obviously improve it, like its speed, for example. For his part, the player will have the opportunity to make decisions throughout the story, but from what we understand, it will not have a massive impact, since we are talking about a freedom relatively small at this level.
