Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer SHIFT UP will release a demo for action adventure game Stellar Blade for PlayStation 5 via PlayStation Store on March 29 at 7:00 a.m. PT / 10:00 a.m. ET, the companies announced.
The demo features a portion of the game’s first section—up to the first boss fight—and save data can be transferred to the full game when it launches.
Here are the details, via director Kim Hyung Tae on PlayStation Blog:
The demo takes place from the very beginning of the game when Eve, a member of the 7th Airborne Squad is sent to Earth on a mission to reclaim the planet from the Naytiba, up to the first boss fight. This first stage will include the tutorial phase to help you familiarize yourself with basic combat features as you explore post-war Eidos 7, a human city now infested by the Naytiba, giving you an early grasp of gameplay mechanics that will serve you throughout the game’s story.
We also have a little surprise included for players who complete the first stage.
From the smooth 60 frames per second combat to the haptics, you’ll feel through the DualSense wireless controller, there are various charms of the game that you can only confidently appreciate through hands-on experience.
For those who complete the demo stage, you can carry over your save data when the full game releases on April 26, starting from the last checkpoint. Please note that save data must be stored on your PlayStation 5 system.
The Stellar Blade demo will be available starting Friday, March 29 from 7:00 a.m. PT / 2:00 p.m. GMT.
Alongside the demo, the full game will feature the following language options:
- Voice-Overs: Korean, English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Latin Spanish.
