Stellar Bladetook the world by storm earlier this year, selling over a million copies in two months, and now in celebration of its success, Shift Up is releasing free Holiday DLC. Available on December 17, you’ll get to explore holiday scenery around Xion including a Christmas tree lighting up the once desolate city square and festive decorations that adorn The Last Gulp. While walking around, Eve can be outfitted in a new Santa Dress, complete with special accessories for the Holiday season.
It’s not just Eve that’s getting into the festive spirit. Drone can be decked out in the Rudolph outfit complete a nose so bright that it can guide a sleigh, while Adam gets the I’m No Santa outfit. A new minigame is also coming to Stellar Blade, but the details are scarce at the moment, other than the ability to earn a prize for participating. Even if you want to just kick back and relax before saving the world, just as withthe Summer celebration DLC, in addition to the outfits, new background music has been added, giving you the chance to rest and relax to “Dawn (Winter)” and “Take Me Away.”

The Surprise Success Of Stellar Blade
Stellar Blade is the first game from developer Shift Up and it receivedrave reviews upon release, with the fast-paced Soulslike gameplay making it a standout. It’s even more impressive considering that the game was a PlayStaiton 5 exclusive. The deck was stacked against it, but Stellar Blade even won theHardcore Gamer Best New IP of 2024 Award, with special consideration given to the surprisingly-compelling lore and the groundwork that was laid for future installments. Though it was nominated in two categories at The Game Awards 2024, Best Action Game and Best Score and Music, it was shut out of both, losing toBlack Myth: Wukongand Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, respectively.
Given the success of their first game, it’s no shock that Shift Up has already begun publicly discussing a sequel. There’s no information about what it’ll be like, and the studio’s next project, with the potentially temporary name of Codename Witches, is still a few years away from release. Fans will have to be patient, but we’ll be getting more adventures starring Eve. Sony helped publish the original, which is why it’s exclusive to PlayStation 5, and there’s no word on if they’ll also fund a sequel or if it might eventually come out for the Xbox.
