South Korean Shift Up’s game (their name is in big letters, but that’s just stylization…) will be published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

The game was previously known as Project Eve but was eventually renamed Stellar Blade. Its director, Kim Hyung Tae, wrote on the PlayStation Blog: “It is our second encounter since the PlayStation Showcase back in September 2021. I am beyond ecstatic to reveal the official name for our game, previously called Project EVE, and share a new trailer unveiling new characters and their roles in this story. And I present the official title that encompasses Eve’s stylish action and her long and winding adventure…

Stellar Blade’s meaning: the title combines “Stellar,” which signifies stars in Latin, and “Blade,” which defines Eve’s existence. Where the point of that blade will lead you to, that’s entirely up to you. Humankind’s last remaining city on Earth, Xion: Eve and her comrades land on the surface to reclaim the extinct Earth and cross paths with a survivor named Adam. Adam then leads Eve to the last surviving city, Xion, where she meets the elder of the town, Orcal and is told many stories. To serve her mission to save Earth, Eve develops close relationships with the key members of Xion and contributes to rebuilding the city.

On a mission to save Earth from the NA:tive, Eve is also faced with helping out the citizens of Xion. Whether you will help the survivors or not depends purely on your decision as the player. Stellar Blade introduces action combat that requires deflecting and evading the NA: tives’ attack at a precise timing that will also connect to combos and unique skills. Throughout the game, you will arm yourself with unique Beta Skills, and intense Burst Skills, which I promise will be pleasing to the eye. Brace yourselves… Bosses’ strengths differ entirely from the standard NA:tives, offering a challenging and strategic combat encounter. All these actions will allow you to immerse yourself into the story further and understand Eve’s emotions. Get ready to embark on a journey with our powerful protagonist, Eve! Thank you for your continued support and interest.”

Stellar Blade is scheduled for release by Sony Interactive Entertainment for PlayStation 5 in 2023. Based on the images and video, it’s no wonder it looks promising.
