Stellar Blade Update Unleashed, But Fans Demand One Unfulfilled Promise Now

Throughout this year, Shift Up’s Stellar Blade has continued to dazzle players with its stunning visuals, breathtaking soundtrack, and satisfying gameplay, not to mention the consistent stream of updates that makes the whole package feel like a gift that keeps on giving.

Yet, in spite of all the hype surrounding Stellar Blade, its new collaboration with Nier: Automata, and updates, a few players remain focused on a more pressing matter: the game’s PC release, which remains bereft of a firm release date.

People Want Shift Up to Confirm Stellar Blade’s PC Release Date

From the moment it dropped onto PlayStation’s store shelves, Stellar Blade wowed players with its blend of fast-paced combat and an emotionally charged narrative inspired by NieR: Automata.

While it’s debatable just how successful Shift Up was on the story side, the game’s combat and soundtrack—along with EVE and her character design, of course—remain its most celebrated aspects.

Let’s not forget how these guys managed to pull off one of 2024 most-requested collabs with its Stellar Blade x NieR: Automata DLC, letting players adorn EVE with iconic costumes like 2 B’s dress or A2’s outfit, all while introducing Emil as a merchant within the game’s world.

This update is packed with exciting stuff, from a well-crafted photo mode that might make one waste hours of their time to four completely new outfits for EVE. However, while many are excited about the new content, a few are still fixated on the lingering question we mentioned above: When will the game launch on PC?

The constant barrage of such requests makes sense, too, considering the sizable demand for a PC port of this title.

Rumors do suggest that its PC release date could finally be unveiled at The Game Awards this year, but as of now, it remains up in the air as nothing more than speculation. While Shift Up has confirmed a PC launch will undoubtedly happen in 2025, what people seem to crave more is an exact timeline, a hunger that’s only growing as time goes on.

At the end of the day, and whatever the case may be, one thing is for sure: Stellar Blade will most certainly be a massive hit the moment it arrives on PC, perhaps even surpassing what it managed to accomplish on the PlayStation 5.
