Shift Up's New Game, Stella Blade, Release Date and Information!

Shift Up's first console game, Stella Blade!

​

About a week ago, a demo version was registered on the Sony Store, whether it was a mistake or a marketing ploy is unknown, but...

​

Some users played the demo and uploaded videos to YouTube.

​

Watching the demo videos, it's clear why users were anticipating this game. It's a promising title.

​

It was a PS5 exclusive title, and they had package pre-orders from March 1st to April 24th, but...

The disc version, which came with special benefits, sold out in just one day, demonstrating Stella Blade's immense popularity.

After watching the gameplay videos on YouTube, I felt like I absolutely had to play it. It looks incredibly fun,

The action seems like a well-blended mix of elements from games like Sekiro, Devil May Cry, and Bayonetta. Familiar elements, but fresh!

Of course, the actual gameplay might be different.

​

The difficulty can be adjusted with Story Mode and Normal Mode, so even newer PlayStation users won't face a steep learning curve and can enjoy it casually. This is a positive aspect.

​

The graphics are clean and well-made, which should enhance the immersion!

As a PS5 exclusive, it's worth noting that they've fully utilized the DualSense's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers!

However, it's rated 18+, and the main character's design is reportedly based on Shin Jae-eun, so playing it when the whole family is around might be a bit awkward...^^..

​

Stella Blade's official release date is April 26, 2024, which is about a month away!

​

It's great to see a major Korean game, especially a console exclusive, being released. I hope it does well!
