Summary
SomeStellar Bladeplayers have recently pointed out that the game missed out on having a Halloween event during October. WhileStellar Bladehad a very popular Summer event, the same did not happen during the spookiest month of the year, disappointing some hardcore fans of the popular action game.
Released in April,Stellar Bladeis among the most popular games launched in 2024. The PS5-exclusive character action title sold over a million copies, and received positive reviews from critics, achieving an average of 82 on OpenCritic. The game was so successful thatStellar Blade’s developer Shift Up raised $320 millionon the South Korean stock market during its initial public offering (IPO). To continue this success,Stellar Bladehas been releasing updates, but fans are disappointed that an important opportunity was missed this month.
Now, October is nearing its end, and gamers such as Hidden_Poster_169 have recently posted on social media asking for a Halloween event that would be similar toStellar Blade’s popular Summer event.Stellar Blade’s Summer event was originally released back in July, and it included new outfits and an Oasis. During October, players were expecting something in a similar vein, and Hidden_Poster_169 had ideas for the event, which included spooky decorations at Xion, as well as new outfits for Eve like a witch or nurse Halloween costume.
Stellar Blade Fans Want a Halloween Event
In the comments of Hidden_Poster_169’s post, some gamers argued thatStellar Bladeis not a live service game and that constant updates should not be expected. However, a Halloween event could likely have excited the player base. Soon after the Summer update,Stellar Bladereceived a huge player count boost, for example.
Fortunately,Stellar Bladehas not been forgotten by Shift Up. Earlier this week,Stellar Bladereceived a new update, which prepared the Korean game for the upcoming PlayStation 5 Pro, allowing for even better graphics and higher resolutions.
A few weeks ago, Shift Up also revealed aStellar BladeandNier: Automatacollaboration. This DLC will likely add more quests, characters, and cosmetics such as outfits to the game. Due to the probable inclusion of a new location, which was shown in the DLC’s trailer, it’s also possible that more story content will be added toStellar Blade, something that players have been asking about for a while. TheNier: AutomataDLC still does not have a release date, but it’s expected to be released sometime before the end of 2024.
