They’d be one in the same in every lexicon on the planet if it were humanly possible. Outside of the very slick gameplay, other information revealed in the trailer includes that Stellar Blade will be a PlayStation 5 console exclusive and that we should expect it to release next year in 2023. All in all, I like what I’m seeing and I’m excited to get my hands on it. I’m getting a bit of Nier, a bit of Bayonetta, and even a bit of Dark Souls. The gameplay and visuals are giving me likenesses on all fronts.


Stellar Blade‘s new story trailer covers how the protagonist Eve (who is definitely still called Eve, not Blade, as she might be mistaken for Wesley Snipes) and her besties head to Earth and meet Adam, who takes them to mankind’s last remaining city on Earth, Xion (Me, somebody whose only book they’ve read is the Bible: I’m getting major Bible vibes from this). The game once called Project EVE is now known as Stellar Blade, with the PlayStation Blog explaining the title as, “a combination of ‘Stellar,’ which signifies stars in Latin, and ‘Blade,’ which defines Eve’s existence.” Not gonna lie folks, this one went right over my head. Thankfully, today’s PlayStation State of Play, in conjunction with the Tokyo Game Show, shed a new light on Project EVE with a new story trailer, a new release window, and a whole new name in Stellar Blade. Just speedy smash-y gameplay with an anime-esque protagonist.
