Sony’s latest PlayStation State of Play, as promised, gave fans their much-awaited dose of details about Stellar Blade. The upcoming action-adventure game is being developed by Shift Up and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.
Stellar Blade details
Stellar Blade has been in development for quite some time now. In fact it had initially been in development under the codename Project Eve before the developers decided to name it Stellar Blade. Project Eve was announced way back in 2019. Besides, initially, the title was planned to be released on most major platforms including Xbox and PC. However, eventually, it became a PlayStation exclusive.
After years of waiting, Sony, at the PlayStation State of Play, announced that Stellar Blade will be released on April 26, 2024, exclusively on PlayStation 5. They also shared a six-minute-long gameplay trailer. The trailer showcases the game’s gameplay as well as mesmerizing cinematics.
According to Hyung Tae Kim, Director of Stellar Blade, the trailer includes much of the content that players will experience firsthand in the game. Besides it is designed to give players an understanding of the mechanics and how the story unfolds, including its core combat.
Stellar Blade is the journey of Eve, who is a warrior descending from an off-world Colony to defeat humanity’s enemy, Naytibas. The Naytibas, who have suddenly emerged on Earth, seem to be attacking the human race following the order of a higher entity comprised of Alpha and an Elder. However, no one is really aware of their origin.
Stellar Blade editions
Apart from the release date and gameplay trailer, the developers also opened the pre-orders for the game releasing April. The pre-orders for Stellar Blade will begin on February 7, 2024. The game will be available for pre-ordering with all participating retailers, PlayStation Store, and direct.playstation.com.
