The game was initially announced way back in 2019, and went under the title of Project Eve.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Initially due to be released in 2023, its publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment delayed the game, but fortunately we no longer have an age to wait. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Read on for information on Stellar Blade\u2019s release date and gameplay details.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>When is the Stellar Blade release date?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stellar Blade will be <\/span><b>released on 26th April 2024<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This date was confirmed by Sony at January\u2019s PlayStation State of Play event. It has been a fairly long road for the game, but the release date is now in sight.<\/span><\/p> <h2><b>Can I pre-order Stellar Blade?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, <\/span><b>Stellar Blade is available for pre-order<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Digital copies can be purchased at PlayStation\u2019s official store and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.playstation.com\/en-gb\/games\/stellar-blade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If a physical version of the game is more your thing, then it can also be ordered at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Sony-Stellar-Blade-PS5\/dp\/B0CTR1BCB3?tag=radtim0b-21&amp;ascsubtag=radiotimes-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Amazon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.game.co.uk\/webapp\/wcs\/stores\/servlet\/Product2?msg=&amp;searchCount=1&amp;showResultsPage=true&amp;predictiveSearchURL=&amp;beginIndex=0&amp;langId=44&amp;productId=2938290&amp;sType=SimpleSearch&amp;pageSize=48&amp;resultCatEntryType=2&amp;pageView=image&amp;searchBtn=z&amp;searchTerm=Stellar+blade&amp;catalogId=10201&amp;DM_PersistentCookieCreated=true&amp;storeId=10151&amp;ddkey=http%3AAjaxCatalogSearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">GAME<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The game has an RRP price of \u00a369.99 in the UK. For collectors, there is also a Digital Deluxe Edition that will cost \u00a379.99. This comes with a bunch of extras such as cosmetic upgrades.<\/span><\/p>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvideo.io\/players\/gv.js\" data-license-key=\"f0cf5e3e9068d9a4affa36d5c8962eaf1a0662ba\"\/> <div style=\"width:50%;min-height:100vh;overflow:hidden;aspect-ratio:16\/9;position:relative;\"> <style><![CDATA[ .gvtext1, .gvtext2 { animation-duration: 5s; animation-iteration-count: infinite; animation-direction: alternate; width:100%; } .gvtext1 { animation-name: gvtext1; } .gvtext2 { animation-name: gvtext2; } @keyframes gvtext1 { 0% { opacity: 1 } 47% { opacity: 1 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @keyframes gvtext2 { 0% { opacity: 0 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 53% { opacity: 1 } 100% { opacity: 1 } } ]]><\/style> <div style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:smaller;position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;background:rgb(208, 208, 208);border-radius:30px;display:flex;text-align:center;align-items:center;\"> <div class=\"gvtext2\" style=\"position:absolute;\"> Green Video Post Element <br\/>Video ID: \"b5e2ff4e52aef139121f583f238b31cb776c12bb\" <br\/>Mix ID: \"\" <br\/>Player ID: \"Tw3-XowQ\" <\/div> <div class=\"gvtext1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"> If the player doesn't appear here within a few seconds, the Player ID or Licence Key (set via IM Green Video settings) might be invalid. <\/div> <\/div> <green-video embed-id=\"Tw3-XowQ\" content-id=\"b5e2ff4e52aef139121f583f238b31cb776c12bb\" mix-id=\"\"\/>\n<\/div> <h2><b>Which consoles and platforms can play Stellar Blade?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Stellar Blade will be a <\/span><b>PS5 exclusive<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> when it is released.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When the game was initially announced in 2019, it was scheduled to launch on both Xbox and PC, but PlayStation bought the publishing rights in 2022, which will be frustrating news for non-PS5 owners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The game is set to tap into the PS5\u2019s unique DualSense controller, though, utilising the haptic feedback and adaptive trigger functions, meaning combat in Stellar Blade has the potential to be quite unique.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Stellar Blade gameplay and story details<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Stellar Blade is a science fiction action adventure set in a post-apocalyptic future where Earth has been invaded by strange creatures called the Naytiba<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Subsequently, the remnants of humanity have fled to outer space \u2013 can you blame them? \u2013 and are living in a colony.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A squad journeys back to the decimated planet in an attempt to regain control, finding the former metropolis of Xion and the surrounding deserts ravaged by aliens. When the team is wiped out, the only remaining member of EVE is left to fight alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The third-person combat looks to be a cocktail of brutal melee, ranged attacks and over-the-top special manoeuvres across an array of violent encounters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Based on the footage available, Stellar Blade seems suited to fans of games such as Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Expect unforgiving combat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Is there a Stellar Blade trailer?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Yes<\/strong>, there is a trailer for Stellar Blade \u2013 and the game looks fantastic.
