Stellar Blade's latest update introduces several new features to the acclaimed PS5-exclusive game, with developer Shift Up focusing on enhancing "visual improvements of conflicts between EVE's body."
Stellar Blade Enhances Realism
“Visual Improvements” on Eve and More
(c) Stellar Blade on Twitter (X) The Stellar Blade team at Shift Up has rolled out an exciting update for their much-loved PS5-exclusive action game. Key updates include making the previously time-limited Stellar Blade Summer Event a permanent fixture, which players can now toggle on or off at their convenience. The update also brings quality-of-life enhancements, new map markers, and the introduction of the "Ammo Package" item, which allows players to restock their maximum ammo instantly. However, the update that has caught the most attention is the enhanced physics, particularly the visual improvements on Eve's character model.
As highlighted by the Stellar Blade team in their update post, Eve's appearance now features more realistic physics, with a noticeable increase in movement dynamics. The "before" GIF shows less movement, while the "after" GIF demonstrates a more pronounced and realistic effect, akin to the energy of a galloping horse at the Kentucky Derby.
Shift Up has always been bold in showcasing Eve's physique, even offering a skinsuit costume that accentuates her form. This recent update pushes the boundaries of visual realism further, not just with Eve's body but also with the game's environmental interactions. Fans on social media have noted that the updated physics also affect how gear moves in the wind, with one fan commenting that it "looks like real-time CG."
While the update primarily focuses on Eve's enhanced physics, as seen in our GIFs, it's worth noting that a fully realistic approach would also see her bangs moving in sync with her movements.
