Stellar Blade update

Shift Up has announced the free update for the PlayStation Blog Monday with details on the Nier: Automata collaboration and other new additions to the game. “Nier: Automata has significantly inspired Stellar Blade. The collaboration between director Kim Hyung Tae and director Yoko Taro, characterized by mutual respect and creativity, has led to this successful outcome,” the developer said.

“At the center of it all is Emil (voiced by Maii Kadowaki), the strange character from Nier:Automata. Emil’s Shop makes a surprise appearance in the world of Stellar Blade, where eleven different special collaboration items will be available. Items that weave together the best of both games, leading you into a more enriched world,” Shift up added.

Stellar Blade gets photo mode

As part of the new update, Stellar Blade also gets a much-requested photo mode. Players can select different poses for Eve and her friends in the mode. The patch also adds four new costumes and a new ‘Symbol of Legacy’ accessory, which changes the appearance and presentation of Tachy Mode when equipped.

Additionally, Stellar Blade will add lip sync support for more languages ​​(French, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese and Latin American Spanish).

There are also some minor gameplay additions, such as the ability to select a specific song to listen to during camps and a new character customization option “No Ponytail” in the “Ponytail Length” setting. Finally, automatic targeting and ballistic correction functions will be applied to the enemy’s insta-kill abilities during combat as part of the update, according to Shift Up.

Stellar Blade was released exclusively for the PS5 on April 26. In June, Shift Up confirmed that the game had sold over one million copies. The studio plans to release the game on PC sometime in the future. Stellar Blade follows the story of Eve, a super soldier sent to save planet Earth overrun by monsters.
