Stellar Blade Demo
The Stellar Blade demo includes content up to the game’s first boss in the first section. Save data from the demo transfers into the full game. This means that players may carry over their progress and continue EVE’s journey from where they left off.
The demo supports Korean, English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Latin Spanish voice overs. In addition, it supports Korean, English (US), French, Italian, German, Spanish, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Arabic, Turkish, Thai, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese text options. Moreover, the full game will support all of the language and text options as well.
Here’s what director Kim Hyung Tae previously said about the demo:
“The demo takes place from the very beginning of the game when Eve, a member of the 7th Airborne Squad is sent to Earth on a mission to reclaim the planet from the Naytiba, up to the first boss fight. This first stage will include the tutorial phase to help you familiarize yourself with basic combat features as you explore post-war Eidos 7, a human city now infested by the Naytiba, giving you an early grasp of gameplay mechanics that will serve you throughout the game’s story.”
“We also have a little surprise included for players who complete the first stage.
“From the smooth 60fps combat to the haptics, you’ll feel through the DualSense wireless controller, there are various charms of the game that you can only confidently appreciate through hands-on experience.
“For those who complete the demo stage, you can carry over your save data when the full game releases on April 26, starting from the last checkpoint. Please note that save data must be stored on your PS5 system.
Lastly, Stellar Blade launches on April 26, exclusively for PlayStation 5. Stellar Blade will be sold physically and digitally worldwide, thanks to PlayStation’s second-party agreement as publisher of the new action game.
