Stellar Blade arrives only on PS5 April 26

The story of Eve’s journey

Stellar Blade follows the journey of Eve, a warrior who descends from an off-world Colony to defeat the Naytibas, humanity’s enemy that suddenly emerged on Earth. The Naytibas appear to be attacking the human race at the will of a higher entity composed of Alpha and an Elder, but no one really knows about their origin.

The protagonist, Eve, finds herself in a devastated world where she meets Adam, a survivor left on Earth, and Lily, a member of a previous airborne squad. Together they join forces in battle against the Naytibas. Along the way, Eve’s party works with the surviving citizens gathered in the last human city, Xion.

The interior of a cockpit. Eve stands between a sitting Lily and Adam.
We look out over a devastated landscape. In the foreground, debris litters a beach, spewing fire and smoke that obscures a ruined city in the far distance. Between, huge Naytibas sit.
Eve and Adam face each other in the foreground. Behind them is a short stairwell that leads up to a large circular contraption. Multiple leads and wires are plugged into it.
In rain-lashed city streets, Eve faces off against a Naytibas, a bright gold arc of lighting-like energy forming in the arc of the swing of her enemy’s weapon.

The world of Stellar Blade

Xion is connected to a semi-open world region called the Wasteland and the Great Desert, which harbor many secrets. You get to cross paths with many different people and go on adventures in these vast fields to fulfill Eve’s goals while also helping the citizens of Xion. One of the missions involves gathering Hyper Cells, which are a massive source of energy sustaining Xion. These cells lie dormant throughout the fields, and Eve retrieves these Hyper Cells to turn Xion back to its original glory. This leads her to meet more characters along the way.

Throughout her adventures, you will pick up items like Exospines or Gears as well as acquire SP EXP which unlocks powerful skills. You can also acquire various cosmetics, such as costumes, accessories, and hairstyles.

Players will hear a wide of variety of music while exploring in Stellar Blade. From relaxing tunes at the camp to music that captures the poignancy of a ruined city. Almost all the songs have choruses and vocals, which will immerse you into the world of Stellar Blade.

Eve stares out onto a wasteland, littered with destroyed vehicles and containers. Creatures skitter in the open area in front, while cranes can be spotted in the far distance.

Stellar Blade makes use of the DualSense controller’s haptics and adaptive triggers to immerse players.
