Leaked Sony Trailer Unveils Stellar Blade PC Release, New Features, Boss Fight, and 25 Outfits

The PC version of Stellar Blade is set to launch on Steam on June 11, accompanied by a suite of PC-specific features, as revealed by a trailer that was inadvertently published by Sony on the PlayStation YouTube channel before being taken down. The internet, however, managed to capture and share the trailer, which is expected to be officially released soon.

The trailer also unveiled the Stellar Blade Complete Edition, which includes the base game and all the DLC released to date for both PS5 and PC. This news follows over a year after the game's successful launch on PS5 in April 2024.

Stellar Blade on PC will boast features such as AI upscaling with Nvidia DLSS 4 and AMD FSR 3, an unlocked framerate, Japanese and Chinese voiceover options, ultrawide display support, higher resolution environment textures, and DualSense support for haptic feedback and trigger effects.

Additionally, the trailer showcased a new boss battle against Mann, Leader of the Sentinels, and introduced 25 new costumes, which are expected to be available on PS5 as well. At the trailer's end, Eve is seen letting go of a memory stick, a scene not present in the base game, sparking speculation about a new ending or additional DLC.

The trailer confirms the Stellar Blade Complete Edition's release on both PC and PS5. Stellar Blade, developed by Korean studio Shift Up, was a significant success, generating $43 million in royalties in its last financial year. The PC version is anticipated to surpass the sales of the PS5 version, which sold over 1 million copies within two months. Shift Up is also considering developing another game in the franchise.

In Stellar Blade, players assume the role of Eve, fighting against unknown invaders to reclaim Earth in a fast-paced action role-playing game. The game received a 7/10 from IGN, praised for its action elements but critiqued for its characters, story, and some RPG mechanics. Despite these critiques, it quickly sold a million copies, indicating strong player interest.

"Stellar Blade excels in the core aspects of an action game, but its characters, story, and certain RPG mechanics hold it back from reaching the pinnacle of the genre," according to our review.
