PS5 Exclusive Stellar Blade Gets New Trailer and a New Release Date – State of Play 2024
Estimated reading time: 2 minutes
After missing its 2023 release window, developer Shift Up has shared a new trailer for its third-person action-adventure PlayStation 5 exclusive Stellar Blade, along with a new release date of April 26, 2024.
As part of today’s January 2024 State of Play presentation, Stellar Blade’s new trailer revealed impressive visuals alongside a ton of fast-paced slashy gameplay.
Stellar Blade was first announced all way back in 2019, then known under the codename Project Eve, and was initially announced for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The game would then appear two years later at a September 2021 State of Play presentation, where it was presented as a PS5 exclusive. Roughly a year later, Shift Up would share another trailer and a blog post, revealing the game’s official title and targeting a 2023 release window.
Shift Up previously revealed that Stellar Blade’s story will focus on a young woman as she fights off strange alien monsters called NA:tives who have invaded Earth. Its most recent trailer from two years ago gave us a look at the in-game location Xion, which is described as the “last remaining city on Earth.”
