Stellar Blade director says there are no plans for DLC yet, but Shift Up is currently working on a Boss Challenge mode
Stellar blade will get a Boss Challenge mode in a future update.
That is according to Stellar blade‘s game director and Shift Up CEO Hyung-Tae Kim, who told the Korean outlet Nate (through GameRadar), that while there are currently no plans for downloadable content (DLC), the development team is currently planning a Boss Challenge mode.
The director didn’t provide more details or an estimated release date, but a Boss Challenge mode is something we’re already quite familiar with in other action role-playing games, like Sekiro: Shadows die twicewhere the player is tasked with taking on back-to-back boss battles in the special Boss Rush mode.
The idea of ββprotagonist EVE doing something similar could work quite well, given the game’s excellent collection of boss battles in the game’s story.
Stellar blade received a New Game Plus feature at launch, along with additional unlockable outfits for EVE in the game’s first patch, but in terms of more future updates, Kim said the team hasn’t decided anything yet, which the Boss Challenge could mean The mode being worked on now is the next big update for the action role-playing game.
The day one patch of the game also removed in-game environmental art that unintentionally alluded to racist comments. Sony quickly responded to the discovery, saying it was an “unintentionally offensive phrase” and that Shift Up “did not intend to create offensive artwork.”
Stellar blade is now available exclusively for PlayStation 5. Ny Breaking Gaming’s hardware editor Rhys Wood rated the game four and a half stars in his review, calling it “a hugely impressive game with slick, sublimely animated combat, breathtaking environmental design and one of the best soundtracks I’ve heard in years.”
