It’s your mission to reclaim Earth in the new action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. Are you up for the fight?

[TL;DR] The future of humanity hangs in the balance in Stellar Blade, an all-new, story-driven, action-adventure game for PlayStation®5. 

Ravaged by creatures called the Naytiba, Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of the decimated human race has fled to a Colony in outer space.

It’s your mission to rescue humanity as EVE, a member of the 7th Airborne Squad, on a mission to save Earth. Tackle enemy forces one by one in razor-sharp action sequences and discover an enthralling narrative in this brand-new game. 

Sounds pretty cool already, right? Saddle up, adventurers, we’re about to get into some of the coolest features of this game.

Meet EVE

EVE hails from the off-world Colony where the human race has taken shelter in a post-apocalyptic hellscape. Her unit, the 7th Airborne Squad, is set to begin its operation to reclaim Earth from the Naytiba but their arrival doesn’t go as planned. A surprise ferocious attack leaves the unit decimated.

With the odds firmly against her survival, EVE is saved by a scavenger named Adam, who guides her into Xion, the last remaining city on Earth. Aided by Adam – and later an engineer named Lily – EVE vows to continue her mission: the complete elimination of the Naytiba.

Referred to as “Angel” by Xion’s surviving residents, EVE explores the treacherous territory, uncovering more of its surprises with almost every step. As she does, it becomes apparent that she faces much more than a battle against a formidable enemy force, her values and everything she has held true to this point are about to be questioned.

Visual Experience

Stellar Blade isn't just a game—it's a visual feast. Become immersed in this highly-detailed post-apocalyptic world that blends beauty and horror for a truly unique gaming experience.

Step into the world of Xion, the only remains of human civilization, now home to scattered survivors in need of EVE’s help. As you navigate through the city's streets, alleys, and piazzas, you'll encounter a mix of rusty relics and malfunctioning machines. But watch your back, danger lurks around every corner, whether you're roaming the city streets or venturing into the unforgiving wilderness beyond.

In Stellar Blade, you’ve got full control. Choose to battle through this semi-open world on your way to EVE’s next objective or go off grid to tackle side quests, scavenge items, and uncover more of the intriguing secrets behind Earth’s downfall.

Razor-Sharp Action

Okay, you get it, the graphics are good, but what about the gameplay? 

Stellar Blade provides a fresh take on third-person combat, allowing you to develop EVE’s fighting skills, think on your feet, and outwit the Naytiba in battle. Armed with EVE’s one-handed blade, the Blood Edge, you’ll encounter a variety of fight modes. 

Master basic attacks quickly and skillfully to survive in this harsh wasteland. Once you’ve got those down, you’ll move to more detailed fight sequences, allowing you to utilize EVE’s skills, create custom attacks, and defeat enemies big and small.

Stellar Blade delivers on all levels. Cruise this detailed world and get ready for lightning-fast combat. You’ll slice and dice a path through the remnants of Earth and face epic boss encounters that will challenge your skills. It's not just about button-mashing; strategy and skill are your best friends here. 

Sounds pretty epic, right?
