Stellar Blade has been on many radars over the last couple of years, and in the lead-up to its launch, developer Shift Up and publisher Sony are continuing to release new details on the action game. Several more have now arrived with a new developer diary, shedding light on Stellar Blade’s world, combat, and more.

Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer SHIFT UP have released the second chapter in its developer diary series “The Journey” for action adventure game Stellar Blade.

These are even stronger abilities that require Burst Energy but unleash even more devastating (and impossibly stylish) attacks. Check out some of them below.

With a demo currently pulling in almost double the players of the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo, Stellar Blade is turning heads, and not just for the reason you’d think.

With Shift Up’s Stellar Blade out in two weeks, a new behind-the-scenes video is available discussing the various processes behind development.

Shift Up has a new trailer available for its upcoming action-adventure Stellar Blade, but it doesn’t highlight other cast members. Instead, it’s focused on the Naytiba, more specifically on the bosses of the species. Check them out below in all their shadowed glory.

Mixing style, action, and fearsome monsters is a familiar formula for success in action games. However, with its first PlayStation title, Stellar Blade, developer Shift Up is adding a lot of unique flair to the equation. A large point of this distinction comes from its creature design, which quickly became a focal element of the upcoming action-adventure experience.

The demo for Korean developer Shift Up’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade is out now – for real this time. The demo was accidentallypushed out early to the PlayStation Store a couple of weeks ago and quickly taken down, but players eager to give the game a spin can now do so without worry.

Alongside a new vignette trailer featuring Adam in Stellar Blade, Shift Up released another focusing on Lily. Like Eve, she’s a member of the Airborne Squad but in the fifth division and provides engineering support. She’s rescued from a drop pod by chance and quickly becomes friends with Eve and Adam.

However, the team will release a day one patch with “some updates.”

Stellar Blade launches in just a few short weeks on PS5. You may have already sampled the action adventure firsthand by way of the recently released demo in which Eve, a member of the 7th Airborne Squad, is sent to a desolated Earth on a mission to reclaim the planet from the mysterious, malevolent Naytiba and save humankind. If so, you’ll have had a taste of the game’s mechanics and combat, its story, and creature design. To dig in further, we sat down with Stellar Blade director Kim Hyung Tae (who is also founder of Stellar Blade development studio Shift Up)  and technical director Lee Dong Gi to learn more about the studio’s background, the game’s inspirations and more.

Stellar Blade’s director has made a solemn promise to their growing fanbase.

Stellar Blade has been generating a fair bit of positive buzz in the lead up to its release later this month, thanks in large part to its recently-released demo, and more new gameplay of the action-adventure game has now been shared, which continues to look promising.

Shift Up is gearing up to face the spotlight of the mainstream gaming market with the imminent launch of Stellar Blade, but though the upcoming PlayStation-backed action-adventure game certainly has plenty of eyes on it, the Korean studio is seemingly also already thinking about what comes next.

Following the intended launch of Stellar Blade’s free demo, Shift Up has released a new trailer for the hack-and-slash action adventure. It’s short but focuses on protagonist Eve, with ally Adam questioning what she’ll do after defeating the Alpha Naytiba. Long story short, she’s all about wiping out the Naytiba. Check it out below.

Stellar Blade has emerged as a popular upcoming title on the PlayStation 5. It may be because it is one of the few exclusives releasing on the platform this year. It may also be because of Sony’s advertising support. And it may be because of its upfront fan service content.

Shift Up’s demo for Stellar Blade, its upcoming hack-and-slash action RPG, is now available for PS5 players after accidentally going live earlier this month. Featuring the opening section, it sees players controlling Eve as she battles the Naytiba. The demo is roughly an hour long and outlines the basics of combat while featuring the first boss fight.

Shift Up’s free demo for Stellar Blade goes live on March 29th, but in the meantime, various publications like Game Informer received early access and showcased some fresh gameplay. If you’re one of the few who didn’t try the demo when it accidentally went live early, it showcases the initial portions of the game as Eve battles through various Naytiba.

Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer SHIFT UP will release a demo for action adventure game Stellar Blade via PlayStation Store on March 29 at 7:00 a.m. PT / 10:00 a.m. ET, the companies announced.

Greetings. This is Hyung Tae Kim, director of Stellar Blade. We are pleased to officially announce the upcoming free playable demo for Stellar Blade, coming March 29 to PlayStation 5.

With Helldivers 2 and Rise of the Ronin out of the way, next up in PlayStation Studios’ pipeline of upcoming game is Stellar Blade, and ahead of its launch a little more than a month from now, a slice of the game will soon become available to players courtesy of a demo.

Shift Up’s Stellar Blade isn’t out for another two months, but retail copies are apparently already stocked in Japan. Genki on Twitter got their hands on one and revealed the back specifying “more than 35 GB” of free space for installation.

Shift Up’s Stellar Blade is coming soon to PS5, and several new details are available following an impressive showing at the latest State of Play. The action-adventure RPG promises fast-paced action akin to NieR: Automata (which served as a “huge driving force” for the project), but for those who aren’t as skilled, there are options to make things easier.

With a fairly barren line-up of titles from Sony in the coming year, PS5 exclusives like Shift Up’s Stellar Blade will become essential. The action-adventure RPG has looked very impressive thus far, especially in the latest State of Play trailer, but what graphical options can players expect?

The United States’ Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has rated Shift Up’s Stellar Blade, and to no one’s surprise, it’s “M” for “Mature 17+” due to “Blood and Gore, Language, Suggestive Themes, and Violence.”

Stellar Blade just earned an unusual distinction prior to release.

The latest State of Play trailer for Shift Up’s Stellar Blade had several noteworthy elements, from the stylish combat and visuals to the various costumes for protagonist Eve. Those keen on cosmetic customization can take note as there seem to be dozens of choices.

Remember Stellar Blade? Announced in 2021 as Project Eve and re-revealed in 2022 with its new name, Korean developer Shift Up’s upcoming hack-and-slash title was slated for launch in 2023. If it weren’t obvious enough that it wasn’t going to launch this year, Sony has officially confirmed a delay to 2024.

Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer SHIFT UP have officially delayed action adventure game Stellar Blade from its previously planned 2023 release window to 2024. It will be available for PlayStation 5.

Korean studio Shift Up’s upcoming action title Stellar Blade has turned quite a few heads with each of its showings, and the fact that Sony has thrown its full weight behind it and marketed as a major upcoming PS5 exclusive has created its fair share of excitement as well. Now, that partnership has been cemented even further.
