Stellar Blade is peppered with unexpected but cute tone shifts

Shift Up’s much-anticipated action game Stellar Blade released today, with many players worldwide rushing to enjoy playing the full version of sexy heroine Eve’s debut adventure. While many are praising the game’s fast and fluid action gameplay and character customization options, a charming break in the dystopian game’s otherwise serious tone has caught the eye of some players. 

Post translation: Stellar Blade has a fundamentally serious tone throughout but when she picks up a can of juice she suddenly becomes silly, which makes me laugh. 

As well as kicking Naytiba ass in a very sexy and stylish way, Eve can get canned drinks from the various vending machines you come across or even find them lying around. Beverages range from energy drinks to beer and even an iced caramel macchiato. As X user ikazombie shows in their video clip above, Eve strikes various poses whenever she picks up a can. Depending on your opinion it’s either cute, cool or silly.  

Stellar Blade has a whole slew of collectables to keep trophy hunters busy- including exospines, memory sticks and even a Solid Snake-like preoccupation with finding boxes. Collecting cans is necessary to pop the silver Can Collector trophy and some of them are harder to find than others. 

Stellar Blade was released today for PS5.
