The trailer sets the stage for a main character that may be a bit more inexperienced than her predecessor, as Eve\u2019s in-ear assistant excitedly claims that this is their \u201cfirst mission.\u201d No release date was provided for Stellar Blade: BLOOD RAIN however, SHIFT UP will share more details in the future.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-perfmatters-preload=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"Youtube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\" fetchpriority=\"high\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SGF 2026 trailer captures the exciting and intense third-person action that defined the original Stellar Blade, while also introducing some new mechanics. Unlike her predecessor, who almost exclusively used a sword, this game\u2019s Eve uses what looks like mechanical fists that can change shape and even become different weapons. Stellar Blade: BLOOD RAIN will also seemingly see the return of the original game\u2019s horrific Naytibas as well as other cybernetic foes to combat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stellar Blade: BLOOD RAIN not only looks to maintain the originals high fidelity environments and character aesthetic, but to enhance them in bigger and better ways\u2014debuting a world that was more detailed, more elaborate and even more mysterious. Evoking imagery from Blade Runner and Ghost In The Shell, SHIFT UP hopes to create a world that is even more ambitious and more exciting than the original.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The original Stellar Blade launched on April 24th, 2024 exclusively for the PlayStation 5 until it was ported to PC in 2025. It received <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metacritic.com\/game\/stellar-blade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">critical acclaim<\/a> for its dynamic action gameplay and engaging storytelling. However, the game\u2019s quality was overshadowed somewhat by online discourse revolving around the protagonist\u2019s visual design. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a genuinely shocking reveal during SGF 2026, Shift Up and Sony Interactive Entertainment debuted the exciting new&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":718124,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,61],"class_list":["post-718123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=718123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718123\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/718124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=718123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=718123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=718123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
