Controversy and marketing campaign decisions aside, Stellar Blade’s first big-budget game from Korea’s Shift-Up was a very solid proposition, with a great combat system and a fluid, attractive design. But with no replayability, you’d think it would be hard to sustain that initial impact for long. As it turns out, it just needed a little push to bring it back to popularity.
Stellar Blade’s Summer Update offers no new game modes (or the promised photo mode), but it does offer a new location for the current hot climate and new outfits for Eve. These small additions have served to increase the current player base by up to 40.14% these days.
Eve’s new swimming costumes don’t offer anything more than a new look for the character, but it seems the studio knows its audience very well and has given them just what they asked for.
Stellar Blade Summer Update Patch Notes
- A small, limited-time summer holiday zone has been added to the Great Desert Oasis. Give EVE a little break.
- Limited time summer background music in the Great Desert Oasis. You can still listen to previous Oasis soundtracks at the base camp.
- New object interaction with the deckchair.
- Added two new outfits and a new accessory, which can be obtained from Clyde’s shop in the Oasis.
- Fixed issue with hair colour change not being applied in the Boss Challenge preset.
- Other bugs have been fixed.
Have you played Stellar Blade? Will you be returning with the summer update?
