Stellar Blade is a 2024 action-adventure and hack and slash video game developed by Shift Up and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Players take control of the protagonist, Eve, as she embarks on a mission to save humanity from a relentless war against monstrous creatures in a distant future. Throughout her journey, Eve is joined by her squad and other survivors as they fight to reclaim Earth.
Shift Up, a Korean studio founded by Kim Hyung Tae, first teased the game in 2019 under the working title Project Eve. By 2021, it was announced as a PlayStation 5 exclusive, to be published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. In 2022, the game was officially named Stellar Blade.
After being delayed from its original 2023 release, Stellar Blade was launched for the PlayStation 5 on April 26, 2024. The game received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its visuals and combat, though some criticism was aimed at the story. By June, the game had sold over 1 million units. A Windows version is scheduled to release in 2025.
