Alright, so here’s the scoop, and bear with me because my brain zigzags like a squirrel on caffeine — don’t ask me why. Stellar Blade’s crashing onto Windows PC on June 11. Yup, that’s what a sneaky leaked trailer whispered to the internet on Monday. And for the love of digital pixels, of course, there’s a whole arsenal of PC-exclusive goodies and, surprise, surprise — Eve gets a wardrobe expansion.
So, tackling this one chaotic detail at a time: The PC version, right? It’s flaunting some seriously geeky stuff like AI upscaling, Nvidia DLSS 4, and AMD FSR 3, whatever those mean (sounds fancy, doesn’t it?). Plus, extra nitty-gritty like higher resolution environments, which, I suppose, means even the ants in the game will have crystal-clear personalities. And what’s that? Over 120 FPS with DLSS off? Seems over-the-top, but hey, who am I to judge gaming godliness? Oh, and the voices — Japanese and Chinese voiceovers? Sure, why not. More authenticity or something. Ultrawide support — think widescreen times infinity or whatever, and DualSense controller business. A new boss too, some dude — or robot? — named Mann. No clue who he is, but probably intimidating.
And Eve — ah, Eve — gets a jewelry box of 25 new costumes. Makes you wonder what virtual fashion trends we’re missing out on. I bet it’s a mix of sleek, slick, and downright eyebrow-raising. But fans probably have a sixth sense about this.
Anyway, back to the trailer (oh yeah, I’m still here) — it babbles about a complete edition that’s crammed with the base game, and some DLC jazz. Think Nier: Automata cosmetics, like some glam crossover ensemble. And preorder bling if you’re the eager type.
Currently, this infamous trailer’s running wild on Reddit, thanks to this user — r/Alekstra, I think. It’s been there for 20 hours, more or less, as I scribble this. Yet, Sony and the gang at Shift Up? Tight-lipped, not a peep about our leak. As for the PS5? No idea if it gets the same goodies as the PC version, but my gut says yes — probably (hopefully?).
And let’s circle back, once more for old time’s sake. Stellar Blade stole heartbeats when it hit PS5 back in the mystic year of April 2024. Critics, including whoever wrote our review, hailed it as “an impressive console adventure” that spells a promising future for Shift Up. So, yeah, high hopes for what’s next.
Anyway, this whole spilled beans mishmash left my mind doing cartwheels… where was I? Ah, forget it.
