Get a Glimpse of Stellar Blade's Fearsome Naytiba Bosses on PS5 | Push Square
19.04.2024 - 05:33 / pushsquare.com
Stellar Blade is just around the corner, with the eagerly-anticipated action game arriving exclusively on PS5 on 26th April. If the wait is proving too much to bear, we've been given a glimpse at some of the game's fearsome Naytiba, which will serve as climactic boss encounters in the game.
While we only see the outlines of several disturbingly shaped monstrosities, we get the impression that the real deal will be nightmare fuel worth of the term. A quote from Shift Up game director Kim Hyung Tae at the start of the video seems incredibly apt: «When creatures don't conform to the human form, they elicit discomfort due to fundamental differences in appearance.»
In other Stellar Blade news, Hyung Tae recently emphasised the importance of single-player video games with an ending having a «very important value» in the industry. Shift Up also recently employed a famous Korean cheerleader to cosplay as Stellar Blade protagonist Eve.
Variety key to market health
Wait, what?
What do you think of the Naytiba? Are we in for a truly sci-fi surprise? Let us know in the comments section below.

With five years of experience as a freelance journalist and mercenary wordsmith, RPGs are his first great love, but strategy and tactics games are a close second, genres in which he is only too happy to specialize.
Really excited for this one!
Yeah imo those are some cool looking monster designs and apparently they were made out of clay first and then scanned into the game.
I enjoyed the demo, so will be picking it up at some point. I don't need to see anymore of the game however.
@MrMagic ...that's the coolest thing I've heard about this game. Like Doom. Neat.
@LikelySatan Yeah it is on the playstation blog now. They hired someone famous from Korean cinema to design the monsters for them out of clay and then scanned them in.
He's worked on some Korean movies like The Host. I've never seen it but I checked rotten tomatoes and it has a 93% score from critics.
@MrMagic The Host is a fantastic film.
This game is shipping up greatly for having a sex doll for a protagonist. Is that why so many creeps like the game? Does it really have nothing to do with the combat and gameplay or story? What a sad lot.
Bring on April 26th!
@Yorozayu you're the only one here saying that creeps are into the game, sooooo...
@LikelySatan I guess you’ve been missing all the comments from the lonely boys who are frothing at the gash at Eve’s character design.
They don’t even focus on the cool setting, how well it performs, the great gameplay or how the game is drawing inspiration from biblical mythology.

Stellar Blade Wanted Its Collectible Cans to Be Based on Real Brands Like Pepsi | Push Square

As you explore the PS5 console exclusive’s Naytiba-inhabited world, you’ll discover all sorts of tins, ranging from iced coffee to soda. All of these brands, however, are fictional – because Korean developer Shift Up wasn’t able to secure a partnership with a real-life manufacturer like Pepsi or Coca-Cola.

I Met My Favourite Korean Cheerleader Because of Eve and Stellar Blade | Push Square
As the only British baseball fan on Planet Earth, I had one simple mission when I first arrived in Taipei: to choose a local team to support. Taiwan is infatuated with America’s former favourite pastime, and it’s even dedicated a spot on its $1,000 note to a celebrating squad. After much deliberation, I settled on the Rakuten Monkeys for one rather simple, primitive reason: they’d just signed Korean cheerleader Lee Dahye.
