Stellar Bladewas a massive success for Shift Up and Sony Interactive Entertainment on the PlayStation 5. The gaming community immediately fell in love with Eve and all the other characters introduced in the game and expects to see more content in the foreseeable future regardless of what it may be.

The Gaming Community Has Mixed Opinions About the Latest Stellar Blade Summer Update
The developers atShift Uptook a massive gamble by stepping out of their comfort zone and developing a video game for the current console generation rather than sticking to their roots and developing mobile games.
It is safe to assume that Soulslike games likeElden Ringand Soulslike adjacent projects likeStellar Bladeare carrying the game industryafter becoming a critical success in the Japanese market.
The gaming community was captivated by the unique appearances and the game’s ambitious and futuristic nature, and the developers knew how to appeal to them by pairing it with an intense combat system reminiscent of the iconic Soulslike genre.
Suits and other cosmetic items are being added post-launch and fans expect to see more cool armor sets rather than daring outfits for Eve.
Despite the fierce competition,the game received the highest-user scoreon Metacritic which is an impressive feat. Fans were pleased to see the developers adding new content, however, it is no longer the kind of content they are interested in.

The developers are doing everything they can to please the gaming community by releasing new cosmetic items.

The gaming community is challenging the developers at Shift Up to go crazy with new content beyond their wildest dreams. Players are after something never before seen and there is a small window of opportunity for Shift Up to elevate the genre through quality content.
Creativity is the lifeblood of game development and there should be no shortage of new ideas. Perhaps the developers could benefit from the suggestions of the gaming community and integrate them for future expansions and potentially a sequel.
Cosmetic items are not the best form of free post-launch content, however, the developers made them with effort. Hopefully, Shift Up will listen to the feedback and meet their expectations halfway.
