Stellar Blade’s day one update adds New Game Plus
25.04.2024 - 12:47 / videogameschronicle.com / Tom Ivan / Hyung-Tae Kim
Stellar Blade’s New Game Plus mode has been made available earlier than expected.
While developer Shift Up previously said it planned to make New Game Plus available after the game’s release on April 26, it’s available to download as part of the title’s day one update, according to GamesRadar.
“In New Game+, all your equipment, currency, items and records, character enhancements, drone upgrades, acquired skills, and owned SP that you have gained up until the previously completed game’s progress will transfer to the next game,” reads the in-game update prompt. “However, your game progress will reset and will not carry over.”
Publisher Sony recently confirmed that Stellar Blade’s day one patch also removes in-game graffiti that “unintentionally” references a racial slur.
Shift Up’s plans for Stellar Blade DLC include free costume bundles for protagonist Eve, which will add to the 30 outfits available in the base game.
The PS5 exclusive will be released on April 26. VGC’s Stellar Blade review called it “one of the most mechanically satisfying action games of the generation.”
We said: “For those who wished that God of War Ragnarok offered a bit more challenge or that Bayonetta had a bit more weight to its combat, this slick sci-fi slasher is the perfect tonic, offering both the perfect entry point into the Souls-like genre and a refreshing refinement of the well-worn character action formula.”
