THIS year has already been incredible for gaming, but the best is still to come.
With amazing games like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and Persona 3 Reload, it’s hard to believe the year can get any better.
Stellar Blade is an upcoming PlayStation-exclusive action adventure RPG with soulslike elements.
It will fully launch on April 26, 2024, but PS5 owners will be able to grab it almost a month early for free.
The game’s director, Kim Hyung-tae, said that the demo will take place right at the beginning of the game.
It’ll feature the soldier Eve, who’s being sent to Earth in order to reclaim the planet from the hostile Naytiba.
He revealed that the demo would take players all the way to the first boss fight, giving people a good look at the first part of the story.
“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.
“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.”
If you complete the demo, your save data will carry over to the full game if you decide to buy it, and you will also receive “a little surprise”, according to Kim.
The demo for Stellar Blade will launch on Friday, March 29, 2024, and will have a global release time, meaning that the launch time depends on your time zone.
Players on the West Coast of the US can play from 7am PT, while East Coast it’s 10am ET; in the UK, the demo launches at 2pm GMT.
The demo for Stellar Blade was accidentally released three weeks early, but was soon removed from the store.
Those who missed it then will soon have the chance to play it for free.
