Stellar Blade is one of the standout titles for PlayStation 5 this year, showcasing stunning art direction and a challenging, diverse combat system. An exciting update is set to arrive just in time for the festive season, bringing a splash of holiday cheer to the realm of Xion, with the rollout scheduled for tomorrow, December 17.
PlayStation announced the details in a recent blog post, outlining the various additions coming to the game. Players will first notice a refreshed aesthetic in their camps, crafted to provide a more soothing environment that helps alleviate the tensions of combat. Additionally, a new minigame will be included for players to enjoy.
Fashion enthusiasts will be pleased to see both Eve and Adam donning new outfits—the Santa Dress for Eve and the I’m No Santa costume for Adam. There are also fresh accessories to try out, such as the Santa Girl hairstyle, Snow Crystal Glasses, Wreath Earrings, and Sleigh Ear Cuffs.
Moreover, players can enhance their Drones with a whimsical Rudolph Cosmetic pack, combining cuteness with a hint of danger. Xion will be transformed with festive decorations, featuring wreaths, garlands, candy canes, and Christmas trees throughout.
For those who might prefer to opt-out of the holiday festivities, Stellar Blade includes a handy feature that allows players to toggle seasonal content on or off as they please. This toggle can also be applied to any downloadable content. The update is expected to go live tomorrow, though the exact timing is still unspecified. Typically, your PlayStation console will automatically download and install updates, but if you don’t see the new features after a few hours, consider checking for the update manually.
