Alright, let’s dive into this. So, um, yeah, remember that game, Stellar Blade? It kind of just rocked everyone’s world last year, right? Shift Up, the brains behind it, seem to be on a roll. They’re pushing out a PC version now. Oh, and there’s, like, a Complete Edition too.
I’m not totally sure how this happened, but PlayStation’s YouTube let slip a trailer. Oops! Then it vanished. Poof. But, thank goodness for the internet’s detective work, right? Some fans snagged it and chucked it on Reddit. So, the scoop is—Circle June 11 on your calendar. That’s the big PC release. Also, get this, the Complete Edition is dropping on both PS5 and PC the same day. Wild.
What’s in this Complete Edition, you ask? Well, it’s stuffed with goodies: the full game, some fancy Planet Diving Suit for Eve, Fluffy Bear Pack—yes, you heard that right—drone cosmetics, and extra bits from Nikke and Nier: Automata. And hey, if you’re all about preordering stuff, you get these Classic Round Glasses, Ear Armor (what even?), and another Planet Diving Suit, this time in White. Fashion statement, I guess?
Now, I wish I could tell you how much coin you’ll have to drop for this, but, you know how these things go. The trailer was early, so details are still foggy like my brain on a Monday morning. But soon, surely.
Can we just take a sec to recall how the game did last year? Critics seemed to love it; Metacritic’s got it sitting pretty at an 81 from like 134 reviews. It even nabbed some limelight during award shows. That PS Blog’s Game of the Year thing gave it a Platinum for Best New Character. Fancy.
Saleswise, Stellar Blade didn’t just do okay. It crushed. So much so, the Shift Up folks got a 5 million won bonus each. That’s about $3,400 if you’re wondering. Oh, and a PS5 Pro on top of that. Not too shabby, huh?
