Day 1 without question, shift up have earned my trust.
Yes sir!!!!!! Goty right here I'm still in shock with this reveal
The outfits and mods are about to go ballistic I love it
loved Stellar Blade, got the platinum and was my personal GotY, the melee combat looks great, this will be a day one for me.
Looks fantastic and looks like a massive improvement over the first game.
Holy ***** that looks absolutely breathtaking!
This looks SO sick! Day one for sure!
Easily the best looking game shown off.
DAY ZERO!!!!
I’ll be there day one. One of my favorite games this generation, and I thoroughly enjoyed my platinum.
@get2sammyb Well yeah you get a review copy
Damn that looked so vastly different from the 1st game. Genuinely insane and gorgeous, I need it noww
Can't wait! Hopefully it isn't more than a couple of years away!
Shift Up are absolutely cooking! This looks amazing!
Yep no hesitation - guaranteed day 1 buy. First game was excellent
The visual glow-up from the first, already excellently looking game, is absolutely massive. Day one purchase, no question!
does she only fight in hand to hand combat sure looked that way?
That looked really promising. Even though just a snippet, voice acting and direction seemed much improved, and the whole presentation had some heavy Ghost in the Shell vibes in all the best ways.
Why did they make her look so much like a teenager?
Ok this looks MUCH better then the first game.
@SystemAddict that meme needs context to work
@Oram77 see SpayeR74
Great trailer and my favourite with the REV trailer. That combat looks already so satisfying. And the jiggles are still there which is delightful too. Let's go!!!
Where’s my girl eve
The moment the trailer showed that cake, i know it's a new Stellar Blade 😁
Interesting that they choose hand to hand combat after the first game focus on hack & slash.
I'll get it day one, just hope it's 2027 or at the latest, early '28.
Give me this game… NOW!!!
@Gamer83 Early in development. Few years yet I reckon.
So they have gone from Eve to Evie?
Just take my money now. Looks freaking awesome!
I don’t know man, this looks so much like all the Gen AI videos to my eye. Also I don’t want to play a Girl looking 14 years old…
@Greifchen yah I’ll be honest wanted eve 2.0
The only good announcement of the show! Let's go Shift Up!
That is definitely not the SB2 I was expecting...
The fact that not even a platform or release year has been announced says it all.
And naming the game Stellar BLADE even though you only fight with your fists—well, that’s certainly a choice.
Amazing looking game, loved Stellar Blade
Resetera already grumbling about the looks of the main character and that she is 'too conventionally attractive' and 'looks like a 14 year old' lol I mean how desperate are they when they're onto the ad hominems already.
And must be great if those loons are upset with it.
@KawakiisaFraud They showed a triangle button prompt so at least we can expect PS5/6 will get the game.
@1970sGamer You shouldn't care so much about what Neogaf rejects thinks.
Definitely interested. Shift Up proved their worth with the first one for sure. Not sure I’m wild about the move to more melee focused combat though as I’ve always preferred shooters over brawlers. And it looks a little at first glance like they’ve dialed back the overt sexiness of the first game. Regardless, I’m definitely picking it up but depending on when it’s coming out and what else is releasing around it, I may hold off for a bit. But again this was just a first glance so we’ll see what the deal is as we see more of the game revealed.
