Stellar Bladehas gone through changes since it was first announced back in April of 2019. Originally teased as Project Eve, the title was slated for launch on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but such a release would feel less relevant. In addition to the name change to Stellar Blade, the title has now become a PlayStation 5 exclusive and is scheduled to release on April 26, slightly over five years since the original announcement. Stellar Blade stars protagonist Eve, a warrior who hails from an off-world colony. She is humanity’s hope against the Naytibas, an alien threat that is being used by a higher entity to attack humanity. Eve is joined by survivors Adam and Lily as they battle against the Naytibas in the last human city, Xion. The newest gameplay trailer includes action that looks like it was influenced by NieR Automata and Bayonetta.

In helping the surviving remnants of humanity, Eve will be rewarded with the tools to unlock powerful skills that can aid her in battle and exploration, along with various cosmetic items such as costumes, accessories and hairstyles.
