If you are part of the anxious team and have already purchased the digital version of Stellar Blade, the tip is to download the game in advance. The PlayStation Store allowed the people who pre-purchased the game to download the game and get everything ready for the global launch.
The only recommendation is that you do this well in advance. As the game is around 30 GB, downloading may take a few hours depending on your connection speed. So, if you want to enjoy this mix of action RPG and soulsborne from the first minutes, perhaps the ideal is to prepare the console now.
What is the story of Stellar Blade?
Stellar Blade takes place in a future in which the Earth has been entirely devastated, becoming home to creatures called Naytibas. Therefore, the few surviving humans isolated themselves in the Colony, a space station that is preparing to retake the planet.

That’s where heroine EVE comes in, a member of the 7th Air Squadron, the elite force sent to reconquer Earth. But, upon arriving here, she is attacked by a type of enemy much more powerful than she imagined. More than that, this massacre unfolding before her eyes is the starting point for revelations about what really happened to the world and humanity.
With gameplay that mixes action and soulsborne, the game impresses mainly with its visuals. The demo released by Shift Up at the end of March was highly praised by players, who highlighted both the graphics and the dynamism of the combat.
In our analysis of the game, we highlighted how Stellar Blade it mixes references and influences from films, anime and other games to create a great collage that, although it doesn’t work in many moments, manages to deliver an overall fun experience.
