The previous update launched on May 24, featuring the Boss Challenge mode. This mode puts the player against the 19 bosses from the boss game. Progression in the Boss Challenge requires battle data from bosses that the player previously defeated. Players can also fight bosses on the Hard difficulty setting after they’ve seen the game’s ending.
To start the challenge, Stellar Blade players may either load up and use their gear from their playthrough or choose one of several presets. Choosing the minimum preset presents a true challenge, and choosing the maximum preset gives the player more leeway to taunt their boss.
Once the challenge is over, battle data will be automatically analyzed. Players may see metrics like battle time, number of perfect parries and dodges, consumable usage, and more. These metrics may be used to compare the player’s performance with their friends.
Stellar Blade launched on April 26, 2023 worldwide, exclusively for PlayStation 5. A PC version is reportedly planned.
