Everything We Know About Stellar Blade
Stellar Blade Story Plot
Stellar Blade takes place on a post-apocalyptic Earth, where humanity is driven off-planet by monsters known as the Naytiba. The surviving humans, in hopes of reclaiming their planet, deploy Airborne squads to combat and investigate.
Players will take control of EVE, one of the members of the 7th Airborne squad. She will undertake the dangerous and almost impossible task of cleansing the world of the monsters by taking down their leader, the Elder Naytiba.
On her journey, she will meet friendly accomplices from other squads, or remnants of humanity hidden within the Earth. Her most important ally will be Lily, who will act as her engineer to help maintain EVE’s gear and upgrade equipment to combat the hostile creatures that have overrun the planet.
Stellar Blade Gameplay
Stellar Blade is an intensive 3rd person action RPG bearing stylish gameplay similar to Devil May Cry, NieR Automata, and Code Vein. EVE can perform ruthless melee attacks, slicing and dicing monsters left and right, or EVEn shooting them from a range. She will have access to multiple special flashy moves that look similar to Devil May Cry Vergil’s Judgement Cut End, where she slices across the entire battlefield and attacks foes from all angles. She can also dodge with perfect timing, as well as parry enemies just as they strike.
Aside from the combat, Stellar Blade will have tons of quests that will require EVE to explore the available open world of Earth overrun by the Naytiba.
