Stellar Blade's latest update introduces several new features to the PS5 exclusive title, including what developer Shift Up describes as “visual improvements to the depiction of EVE’s body.”
Stellar Blade's Enhanced Physics
EVE and More Get a Visual Overhaul
(c) Stellar Blade on Twitter (X) Shift Up's recent update for its popular PS5 action game includes several changes. The previously limited-time Stellar Blade Summer Event is now a permanent addition, togglable at will. Other improvements include quality-of-life enhancements, new map markers, and a handy “Ammo Package” item for instant ammo replenishment. However, the most discussed change among fans centers on the updated physics engine and its impact on EVE's appearance.
As the Stellar Blade team highlighted, EVE's physique now exhibits significantly more movement. A comparison of before-and-after GIFs clearly demonstrates the increased bounce and dynamism.
Shift Up has consistently emphasized EVE's design, even including a skinsuit that alters her appearance. This update, however, pushes the visual presentation further, affecting not only EVE but also equipment interactions with wind effects. One fan praised the enhanced realism, describing it as “real-time CG.”
Interestingly, the increased jiggle effect appears most pronounced on EVE's chest area, as shown in the provided GIFs.
For a truly realistic physics simulation, one might expect her hair to also react to the movement.
