Stellar Blade's latest update introduces several new features to the popular PS5-exclusive game, with developer Shift Up focusing on "visual improvements of conflicts between EVE's body."

Stellar Blade Gets Bouncier

“Visual Improvements” on Eve, Among Other Things

(c) Stellar Blade on Twitter (X) The team at Shift Up has rolled out an exciting update for the highly acclaimed PS5-exclusive action game, Stellar Blade. This update transforms the previously time-limited Stellar Blade Summer Event into a permanent feature, which players can now toggle on or off at their convenience. Alongside this, the update brings a host of quality-of-life enhancements, including new map markers, the introduction of the "Ammo Package" item for instant ammo restocking, and more. However, the update that has captured the most attention from the community is the enhancement to the game's physics, specifically affecting Eve's appearance.

As detailed by the Stellar Blade team in their latest post, Eve's physical attributes have been updated to be more dynamic. The "before" GIF shows less movement, while the "after" GIF vividly demonstrates a more pronounced and realistic bounce, likened humorously to the energy of a galloping horse at the Kentucky Derby.

Shift Up has always been bold about showcasing Eve's physique, even offering a skinsuit costume for those who appreciate the detail. This recent update, however, elevates the visual experience, extending beyond just Eve's body. Fans on social media have pointed out that the new physics engine also enhances the realism of gear movement in windy conditions, with one fan describing it as resembling "real-time CG."

While Eve's chest area has seen the most noticeable changes, as our own GIFs illustrate, the update's impact on other aspects like her hair could further enhance realism. If the physics were applied comprehensively, we might see her bangs bouncing in sync with her movements.
