Per an article from GameMeca, Shift Up announced at a press conference that Stellar Blade has sold over a million copies. Additionally, an article from KHGames states that at the same press conference, a photo mode (August), new outfits (after October), and a large-scale collaboration (end of the year) were mentioned. It was also indicated that additional content in the form of DLC and a sequel were under consideration.
In Stellar Blade, the enemy called Naytiba makes humanity flee to an off-world colony. The protagonist, Eve, is a member of the seventh airborne squad; she’s trying to save the planet by defeating the elder Naytiba. Her companions are Adam from Earth as well as Lily.
Xion is a city built under the Wasteland by humanity’s last survivors. Eve is called Angel by the residents, being both feared and in awe by others, though many will come to trust her throughout the game. You can camp around the world to upgrade her capabilities and heal. Xion is connected to semi-open world areas called the Wasteland and the Great Desert, which encourage exploration. You can gather Hyper Cells; Eve finds these to restore Xion to its former state of glory.
Other items include Exospines and Gears, which are used to acquire SP EXP and new skills, as well as cosmetics like accessories, costumes, and hairstyles. Moreover, this adventure’s soundtrack will be almost entirely comprised of choruses and vocals.
Stellar Blade is available exclusively on PlayStation 5.
