Stellar Blade fans waiting patiently for more content can be moderately excited, with a new free update available now for the game that gives protagonist EVE a chance at some summer sun and relaxation. 1q5r3u
The new “SUMMER” update adds two new outfits for EVE along with some new interactions in the Great Desert Oasis that will apparently only be around for a limited time. It’s the Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball of free content updates, basically, and the wait continues for more meaningful gameplay additions to the game.
Along with the added outfits, you’ll be able to buy a new accessory from Clyde’s shop at the Oasis, and listen to some limited-time BGM in that same area. There have also been some assorted bug fixes included. And no, the promised Photo Mode isn’t part of this update, which might be for the better.
We gave Stellar Blade a huge 9/10 in our review, with Harry saying, “Stellar Blade recalls the classic era of character-action games in truly inspired fashion. It might struggle to deliver on its core narrative, and its platforming is often more frustrating than it isn’t, but neither of those things are enough to bring down a thoroughly enjoyable action experience. It wears its inspirations on its sleeve, but manages to build on them in engaging fashion with a deliciously layered combat system and gorgeous presentation to boot.”
