After a long wait, the day has arrived: Stellar Blade is now available for PlayStation 5. The company’s new hack & slash Shift Up It was a long time coming, but you can enjoy it right now. But you should keep something in mind: The company has already launched a “Day One Patch”, which means that some things have already been added and changed for this title. And here we will tell you all the additions of this update.
Stellar Blade’s first patch includes New Game+ and a bit of censorship
That’s right, if you already purchased Stellar Blade on PS5 and update your game to the latest version, this patch will be downloaded and will update various aspects of the experience and user experience. @KvltPersonality in Twitter compiled some of the most interesting changes. One of the first things we can notice is that enemies and bosses will now splash much less blood towards us. Eve when they are defeated, which is very evident when we take a look at the comparison of this image. It’s not such a radical change, but it’s true that Eve is much less bloodstained after the update.
Other changes brought by the first Stellar Blade patch include a bit of “censorship” on two of Eve’s revealing outfits. These now show a little less of the attractive protagonist’s skin when equipped. Some fans are already complaining about this, but the truth is that it’s a very minimal change and Eve still looks good in both outfits, so it’s not a very serious problem.
But the most important part of this entire update is the inclusion of New Game+, which will allow players to replay the main story with all the items and improvements they obtained in the previous game. This is an excellent addition and is being very well received by those fans who want to play Stellar Blade again and again.
But the most scandalous change contained in this patch was the update of one of the environment textures. On one of the walls of the first version of Stellar Blade, we can see graffiti that says “Hard” (Hard in English) next to a sign that has the lyrics R (Which indicates that there is the store run by the character Roxanne) Many American players pointed out that this combination of words is often used in reference to a word that has offensive connotations towards African-American people in the country. Although this was surely an accident on Shift Up’s part, it was quite unfortunate and that’s why they decided to remove it almost immediately. The graffiti now says «Crime» (Crime in English).
Luckily, all of these changes are minor and do not affect the game experience. Except for New Game+, since this is an important addition for many players. It should be noted that Stellar Blade is receiving very positive reviews everywhere (Including here on ANMO Sugoi) and is being praised for its combat, its mechanics, its difficulty, its world and its graphics. If you’re interested, you won’t want to miss it. It is available starting today, exclusively on PlayStation 5.
