Stellar Blade has earned a lot of recognition for various reasons. And, after building a lot of hype and expectations around the game, we finally have the release date for Stellar Blade. Announced during the first State of Play of 2024, we also get an extended look at the gameplay of the upcoming hack-n-slash action-adventure title.
Revealed at the event, Stellar Blade will launch on April 26, 2024, for PlayStation 5. The new showcase in State of Play gave us a brief backdrop on the world and general gameplay loop of Stellar Blade. We play as Eve, a warrior from an off-world colony looking to defeat the Naybitas. She joins the team of Adam, a survivor on Earth, and Lily, a member of an old airborne squad.
Players will explore and venture into the Earth settlement Xion, where numerous individuals live. They’ll get to take jobs from them and then explore the semi-open world wastelands in hunt of Naybitas enemies. The game also features a leveling system, where unlocking skills will improve Eve’s performance. As per the official blog post, you need to collect something called Exospins to do that.
Finally, Stellar Blade will also feature various costumes for Eve, which players can change into. Furthermore, we also see Eve briefly fighting Naybitas using her fists, possibly implying that there will be style changes later in the game. And, to top it all off, players can enjoy the experience while listening to beautiful in-game music.
