That magical time of year is almost here, and it looks like Stellar Blade is getting into the holiday spirit! Who doesn’t love a good festive update that brings joy and excitement while we battle through virtual worlds?
Shift Up has just revealed some exciting news about their upcoming Christmas-themed update. Make a note because, on December 17, Xion will transform into a winter wonderland! Imagine cozying up in a city square with twinkling lights and decorations. What’s not to love?
You’ll get to vibe out with seasonal tunes like “Dawn (Winter)” and “Take Me Away,” making your gameplay as relaxing as sipping hot cocoa by the fire. I’m already picturing myself chilling out after those intense boss battles. Talk about therapy!
The best part? A brand new mini-game is making its debut! It’s the perfect breather from all those survival struggles we face. You’ll have fun playing it while racking up some sweet rewards upon completion. Who knew saving the world could come with perks?
If you’re into dressing up your characters, you will be exciting! Adorable costumes are coming our way: Eve gets a cute Santa Dress, Adam can rock an “I’m No Santa” outfit (classic), plus there’s a Santa Girl hairstyle to spice things up. Check this out: Snow Crystal Glasses and Wreath Earrings are also joining the accessory party, along with Sleigh Ear Cuffs! Oh my gosh, I need these for my wardrobe.
This update will also introduce an On/Off feature for seasonal events, which is super handy if you want to keep things festive or take a break from all that cheer when needed. Let’s not forget about the upcoming Nier Automata DLC content, which excites me!
If you missed it, last month, Stellar Blade got its own photo mode, too. It is a total game-changer for capturing those epic moments during gameplay.
Their plans don’t stop there; they’ve hinted at potentially bringing Stellar Blade to PC in 2025. Could this mean even more players joining us? Fingers crossed, they do it right since they expect this version to outsell its PS5 counterpart!
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m counting the days until this festive update drops. What character outfits are you most excited about? Let me know your thoughts below! Until then… happy gaming!
