Shift Up’s community manager has confirmed on the game’s Discord server that a PC demo for Stellar Blade will be released on May 31st. This demo will let you try the game before purchasing it.
In Stellar Blade, you will play as Eve. Eve is on an important mission to save what’s left of Earth. As you explore the world, though, you won’t be alone. Eve will meet and team up with different characters who will help her on her journey. Together, you’ll face big challenges, fight dangerous enemies, and uncover the secrets of this broken world.
The game features fast-paced and exciting combat. That means you’ll be fighting quickly and smoothly, using cool attack combos that look awesome and feel powerful. As you progress, you’ll unlock new moves and improve your weapons, making Eve even stronger.
You’ll also go up against huge and powerful bosses that will truly test your skills. To beat them, you’ll need to use both your brain and your reflexes. You’ll have to think carefully about how to fight and be quick with your actions. Every boss battle will be a mix of strategy and fast action.
The world of Stellar Blade is a ruined version of Earth. It’s full of mystery and danger. As Eve, you’ll travel through these broken lands, uncover the story behind what happened, and fight to bring hope back to the world.
The PC version will come with an HD Texture Pack. Or at least that’s what Shift Up implies on its Steam store page. The devs claim that there will be a 4K option for the environment texture quality that will enrich it. Moreover, you can expect support for ultra-wide monitors.
Stellar Blade is powered by Unreal Engine 4, and it will have uncapped framerates on PC. The game will also support NVIDIA DLSS 4 and AMD FSR 3.0 from the get-go. However, there won’t be any new PC-only Ray Tracing effects.
In theory, the game will look a bit better than the PS5 version. That will be mainly due to the higher-quality textures, shadows and LODs. Still, you shouldn’t expect it to look miles beyond it. So, if you didn’t like its art style or graphics on PS5, you won’t like it either on PC.
It’s also worth noting that Stellar Blade will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. So, I’m curious to see whether the game will suffer from any stutters. My guess is that there will be some traversal stutters, especially with uncapped framerates. To be sure, though, we’ll have to wait one more day until we can test its PC demo.
Sony and Shift Up will release the full version of Stellar Blade on PC on June 11th.
Stay tuned for more!
