Stellar Blade’s Christmas-themed update adds a new mini-game and costumes
Shift Up has announced plans to launch a Christmas-themed update for Stellar Blade this week.
Arriving on December 17, the event will update Xion with holiday scenery, while introducing Christmas costumes and a new mini-game.
“A colorful Christmas tree brightens Xion, transforming the once cold city square into a cozy, festive space with warm lights and decorations,” according to Stellar Blade technical director DongKi Lee.
“In the camp, the seasonal BGM ‘Dawn (Winter)’ and ‘Take me away’ create a relaxing atmosphere. These romantic tunes will enhance your holiday relaxation by melting away battle tension,” he told the PlayStation Blog.
“A new mini-game has arrived in Xion, offering a break from survival struggles. Enjoy the gameplay and earn rewards upon completion.”
There’s a new Santa Dress for Eve, an I’m No Santa costume for Adam, a Santa Girl hairstyle, and accessories including Snow Crystal Glasses, Wreath Earrings, and Sleigh Ear Cuffs. There’s a Rudolph Pack cosmetic for the Drone too.
The update will also add a new On/Off feature for the game’s seasonal events and Nier Automata DLC content.
A Stellar Blade update released last month added a photo mode to the PS5 game.
Shift Up recently said it’s considering releasing Stellar Blade for PC in 2025, and that it expects the PC version to outsell the PS5 one.
Earlier this year the South Korean company confirmed it was exploring the possibility of developing a Stellar Blade sequel.
