Stellar Blade, an exclusive PS5, also scheduled for April 26, is a fast-paced action adventure developed by Shift Up, known for its mobile games. The game introduces Souls-style combat with a focus on combos and dodges.
Stellar Blade is an action-adventure video game exclusively for PlayStation 5 by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game is set on a post-apocalyptic Earth and follows Eve, a member of the 7th Air Squadron, on her mission to reclaim the planet from the mysterious and malevolent Naytiba and save humanity.
The game is notable for its focus on combat, requiring players to understand and counter enemies’ attack patterns with precise timing. The world design combines sci-fi elements from the ’80s and ’90s, and the visual aesthetic is partly inspired by the manga “Gunnm” and the film “Alita: Battle Angel.”
The game also features a range of human and adversary characters, with many of the latter featuring biomechanical or mechanical characteristics that can merge with humans and machines, creating a variety of unique and visually striking enemies. Additionally, the game system allows for difficulty adjustments, including an action assist mode that makes the game accessible even to those who are not familiar with action games.
Stellar Blade was released on April 26, 2024, and has been well received for its stylish action style and deep narrative focus.
