Now that Rise of the Ronin is out, PlayStation can finally start marketing Stellar Blade more, starting with a free demo.
Weeks after the demo was leaked all over the internet, PlayStation is making the free trial of Shift Up's upcoming action-adventure game.
According to Sony, any progress made on the demo will carry over to your saved data if you purchase the full game and play it on your PlayStation 5 starting on April 26.
Stellar Blade has gone viral over the past few months for NSFW reasons, but the studio is aware of this. In fact, it's using the curvaceous figure of the heroine, Eve, to target certain audiences. The studio even sought a specific South Korean model to use as a physical reference for Eve's body structure.
While many have been quick to call out Stellar Blade for selling out, the earlier demo leak proved that the game has actual gameplay substance to back up its pretty face; its combat has been described as a more polished version of NieR: Automata.
