Stellar Blade might be the hot game right now, but we already got a better version of it more than half a year ago.
According to Neowiz, the Lies of P DLC is scheduled to be released in the second half of 2024, and is being developed in-house.
Great news.
If anyone is still deliberating picking this game up, I highly recommend it.
Stellar Blade for PlayStation 5 was the highest selling title last week, moving an additional 13,033 retail copies. It was followed by Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Switch, which moved an additional 9,652 units.
I love how Ring Fit Adventure pops it's head back in the top 10 telling us that people ate too much during golden week!

Edge Magazine's latest issue is out now and they have shared reviews on some of the recent games including Stellar Blade.
Yeah. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and read what they have to say, but it's suspicious in the face of other recent indies that've been praised.
Anyone else playing Stellar Blade and made it to the Great Desert?
I felt the story barely had us do anything here but there are a lot of side quests taking us back and the framerate is kind of all over the place. Curious if anyone else is noticing the same?
It's the only blemish so far in what's surprisingly become my current GOTY.
I don't see how can the framerate be all over place? It's litteraly one of the most stable games released, unless maybe you have it on Balanced mode, put it on Resolution or Framerate mode.
And yes the Great Desert is almost exclusively just a gorgeous big zone for side quests and fun.
Yeah that's what's surprising me - the rest of the game even on Balanced feels like a solid 60fps (and my display is 120hz VRR).
But even on Prioritize Performance it feels like it struggles in certain spots only in the Great Desert. The Buried Ruins section felt like the roughest area but another one was more into the desert near a statue with scaffolding wrapped around (and a dozen or so enemies including the tentacles).
All the side quests I had there are done now so I may only return now to fish again. But framerate aside I agree - it's one of the more beautiful gaming deserts and this game's side quests have been way more nice and varied than I thought they'd be.
I have to say i haven't explored the Great Desert 100% maybe just 40%, i plan on exploring everything there on NG+ so i don't know how Buried Ruins feel yet and also i'm running the game unpatched so maybe that's it i don't know but for me the Great Desert is perfect framerate wise if it's not on Balanced mode.
I absolutely agree man, the game is much more than i thought it would be in terms of content, exploration, collectables, secrets and side quests. Classic video game stuff! None of the modern BS. It's my GOTY as well so far.
From what i remember the 2 open world hubs only have 1 story mission each. The gun missons. Most of the open world sections are for side missions, upgrades, cans,costumes, etc. Still fun to run around and discover some wierd puzzles there.
I feel like there are some fps dips but not all over the place.
And for people who don't do enough of the side missions...know that you will be locked out of a section of the game if you don't do enough. Fill that lily bar to 100%.
Stellar Blade a 6? That score is blasphemy. Score should be a 9, no lower than an 8. It's GOTY.
so the 10 they gave to Last of Us, LBP and Bayonetta also were rigged? or only if you don't agree with it?
Such a good game! I’ve put about 55 hours into it. I don’t regret buying a PS5 to play it.
Stellar blade is currently higher than lies of p on metacritic with 40 more reviews. No shade on Lies of P but just pointing that out.
But i don't even know why compare them? Because both are souls type games?
Then you can just reuse this article all the time and say Elden Ring is "whatever new souls game" but good for every new souls game.
Stellar blade hate articles must be rolling with clicks...
I mean… it’s like saying we have a better NieR with Devil May Cry. Yea, there’s some similarities, but Lies is really hardcore in the sense of emulating a FromSoft game almost perfectly, where Stellar has some Souls-like elements, but I’d say it’s closer to Sekiro than say a Dark Souls game. This almost feels click-baitey
What if, and hear me out, they’re both really good? Mind blowing, I know.
Oh geez...this is why journos suck...they can't even see differences between games.
Stellar blade is nothing like lies of P. Didn't these guys give stellar a bad score? Geez they really hate it. Stop the hate! Lol
It's kinda bizarre what gaming journalism has become
