Stellar Blade: Blood Rain revealed at Summer Game Fest
At Summer Game Fest, Shift Up officially revealed Stellar Blade: Blood Rain, the sequel to Stellar Blade, with an unveiled trailer introducing new protagonist Evie. The trailer presents a darker sci-fi world and introduces gauntlet-led close-quarters combat that shifts the series toward more melee-focused action; Shift Up did not announce a release date. Shift Up positioned Evie as the new heroine for this entry, distinguishing Blood Rain’s tone and combat from the original game. The changes in protagonist, tone, and core mechanics signal a clear new direction for the franchise that could reshape player expectations for future Stellar Blade releases.

Omegalock9I’LL TAKE THEM ALL ON STELLAR BLADE IS GOATED
Domain Holder of Sex.Com for president 20288that lady is so boring looking
RKS4The new game is already showing to be made with AI so no I don't
Thor2I haven't even played those games but I saw that they gave her Hank Hill ass and it's making me wanna get into gamergate antics
after a while you begin to realize some folk are just performative when it comes to AI. Mihoyo and ShiftUP (Stellar Blade/NIKKE devs) are super transparent about their use of AI and people do not give a fuck. I see mutuals continue to play Mihoyo games and I'm like "y'all just don't care huh"
Ash91No ethical consumption under capitalism i get it but like man. New Stellar Blade got blatant AI assets but its okay! New ZZZ content made via AI but its okay! whatever, I'm replaying Undertale
xukii2This type of topics are always messy cause many people confuses Ai tools with GenAi. Sadly everyone is on this train including Capcom so if things keeps up might as well play old games until we die
ICERRR2Does anyone know Bluepoch's stand on AI? I deeply love Reverse:1999 and it would be a real shame if I had to drop it, so I really hope they don't use AI.
Twili2It’s tough to know where to draw the line sometimes, like I’m probably not gonna swear off MH or SF6 because capcom is using ai “efficiency tools”. But mihoyo and shiftup are so ridiculously blatant about image genAi that I’m not sure how anyone can support them and still pretend to be against it.
I didn't have $550,000 for a #SummerGameFest Trailer so I'm posting my Vampire SoulsVania game where your attacks cost life and drinking the blood of your enemies heals you here instead for free! #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame

streets is saying that a ton of that stellar blade 2 trailer and the promo shots are ai generated
🏳️🌈 Rye 🔜 Seattle 💚💙20The game that was basically nier automata fanfiction is artistically bankrupt and using the plagiarism machine to market it's sequel? Say it ain't so
therealWokeKong10Also images have just leaked of stellar blade fans reactions upon learning this info
Itinerant Professor Lifestyle Giant7That's the kind of slop the game's audience appreciates
Blank - 8-Bit PNGTuber4considering the main character has a face of a twelve year old I wouldn't be surprised
Daniel O'Connell3Considering how the game's director loves to post AI generated smut/cheesecake on his Twitter, that is the least bit surprising.
EZGames692To be fair they are androids.
Patrick Welsh2My initial thought was “this does not look like a trailer for a game that’s been in development for less than two years”
Widge2Definitely had the “the game will look nothing like that trailer” vibe from a few years ago.
