After losing the war against these beings, humanity ends up being expelled from their own planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here comes our protagonist, <strong>Eve<\/strong>. Her mission (and ours too) is to recover the Earth and completely eliminate the Naytibos. Luckily, EVE is not alone in this endeavor. Throughout her adventure, she will encounter other characters like <strong>Adam<\/strong>, a scavenger residing in <strong>Xion<\/strong>, the last standing human city on Earth.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, <strong>Tachy<\/strong> will be the first person we will encounter when starting Stellar Blade. She is a &#8220;decorated soldier recognized for her tactical brilliance and combat skills,&#8221; according to the official PlayStation blog.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we progress in the story, we will discover everything that surrounds this war and the arrival of the Naytibos. Then, Eve will have to make a <strong>decision<\/strong> that, in reality, will fall on us, the <strong>players<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Stellar Blade (previously Project EVE) - State of Play Sep 2022 Story Trailer | PS5 Games\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ayek3ZzWb1E?start=3&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Combat, one of the strong points of Stellar Blade&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although many may have noticed the beauty of the characters in Stellar Blade, the truth is that the game has much more to offer, such as its gameplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The combat is very satisfying and is based on the use of <strong>skills<\/strong>, which you can <strong>improve <\/strong>as you progress in the game. Stellar Blade allows us to choose between two levels of difficulty, one normal and another more focused on the story. This way, anyone who dares to try the game can do so without fear of getting stuck or finding it impossible to pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/stellar-blade-1-1-1024x576-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-279565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/stellar-blade-1-1-1024x576-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/stellar-blade-1-1-1024x576-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/stellar-blade-1-1-1024x576-1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/stellar-blade-1-1-1024x576-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/stellar-blade-1-1-1024x576-1-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/stellar-blade-1-1-1024x576-1-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/stellar-blade-1-1-1024x576-1-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/stellar-blade-1-1-1024x576-1-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/stellar-blade-1-1-1024x576-1-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/stellar-blade-1-1-1024x576-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who has created Stellar Blade?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The developer of Stellar Blade is <strong>SHIFT UP<\/strong>, a South Korean company whose parent company is Tencent. Founded in 2013, their first project was the mobile title <strong>Destiny&#8217;s Child<\/strong>, published in 2016 by Line Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we will see later on, this is not the first problem the company has had related to its &#8220;peculiar&#8221; way of representing female characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2019, SHIFT UP announced that they were immersed in two projects. One of them was <strong>Project NIKKE: Goddess of Victory<\/strong> and the other was <strong>Project Eve<\/strong>, which would end up being Stellar Blade. This last game is quite special for SHIFT UP because, in addition, it is <strong>the studio&#8217;s first triple A title<\/strong> developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/goddess-of-victory-1024x576-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-279566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/goddess-of-victory-1024x576-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/goddess-of-victory-1024x576-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/goddess-of-victory-1024x576-1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/goddess-of-victory-1024x576-1-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/goddess-of-victory-1024x576-1-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/goddess-of-victory-1024x576-1-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/goddess-of-victory-1024x576-1-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/goddess-of-victory-1024x576-1-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/goddess-of-victory-1024x576-1-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/goddess-of-victory-1024x576-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Controversy about Stellar Blade&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may have noticed something that is repeated in SHIFT UP games. Specifically, we are referring to their peculiar way of representing female characters. So much so that with <strong>Goddess of Victory<\/strong> they had to <strong>publicly apologize<\/strong> for their excessively explicit advertisements in Thailand. Stellar Blade has been no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the aspects of Stellar Blade that has caused the most controversy is the <strong>appearance <\/strong>of its protagonist, Eve. Since her design was revealed, many users have strongly criticized her <strong>hypersexualized <\/strong>aesthetic, sparking a debate about the representation of women in video games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Media outlets like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Grummz\/status\/1774061264777736417\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"IGN France\">IGN France<\/a><\/strong> talked about the aesthetics of Eve and claimed that it looked like a &#8220;<strong>sexual doll made by someone who has never seen a woman<\/strong>&#8220;. After receiving harsh criticism on social media, IGN France had to come forward and <strong>apologize<\/strong> for those statements.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"719\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/image-16.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-279567\" style=\"width:413px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/image-16.jpg 719w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/image-16-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/image-16-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 719px) 100vw, 719px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Hyung-Tae Kim, CEO of SHIFT UP, the controversy is quite foreign to him. In an interview with the Korean media Ruliweb, he stated that he understands that in the West, &#8220;game characters have to be <strong>realistic<\/strong>.&#8221; However, for him, &#8220;<strong>Stellar Blade is entertainment and a cultural product<\/strong>.&#8221; It is also worth noting that Hyung-Tae Kim himself has stated that the appearance of the protagonist is based on &#8220;<strong>his personal taste<\/strong>.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prices and availability of Stellar Blade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stellar Blade was released on April 26th and can be enjoyed on <strong>PlayStation 5<\/strong>. When purchasing it, you can choose between its physical edition or its digital version. The standard edition of Stellar Blade has a starting price of <strong>79.99 euros<\/strong>, both in physical and digital format. However, you can find it at a lower price from other retailers like Amazon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, you can also purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition of Stellar Blade, which includes the full game and accessories for Eve such as the astronomer suit, half-frame glasses, and experience and gold points. Its current price is <strong>89.99 euros.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the most indecisive there is a <strong>free demo<\/strong> that allows you to play the first few hours and dive into its combat mechanics.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"PlayStation App\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/00be5b32-9b62-11e6-869c-00163ed833e7\/1288856595\/playstation-app-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">PlayStation App<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/playstation-app.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/playstation-app.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PlayStation 5 celebrates the arrival of a new exclusive, Stellar Blade.
