Stellar Blade Update Involves Summer Event, Favorite Equipment

Shift Up announced a new Stellar Blade update, with the latest patch adding Summer Event options, the ability to favorite some of EVE’s equipment and outfits, and other quality of life adjustments. Some visual adjustments appeared in this update too, with the developer citing more attention to characters’ physics.

The Summer Event at the Stellar Blade Great Desert Oasisarrived in the game via a July 2024 patch. This added a new activity and outfits. While the season is over, there is an option that allows you to turn the event on or off if you missed it. You can also hear the song “Don’t Forget Me” from it at your Camp. 

As for the quality of life adjustments, many are about making it easier to prepare EVE or go places. For example, you can favorite EVE outfits and equipment after the Stellar Blade update. You need to go into the menu to do so. It is also easier to keep track of places to go. The map lets you place pins. Two additions involve the in-game store. You’ll be warned when you’re about to spend a lot of money, for one. Another lets you reload ammo with an Ammo Package.

Here’s a transcript of the official Stellar Blade update announcement on social media, which included the rudimentary patch notes. It also included a brief video clip showing how EVE’s physics for her body and movements changed before and after this latest update. Shift Up’s developer account also shared that same video.
