Next month, gamers will be able to inhabit the sexy badass Eve in Stellar Blade on PlayStation 5. However, players who want to be too explicit with a particular Stellar Blade costume will inadvertently unlock a hard mode that will make their experience much more challenging.
The reason the masses know about this clothing item is due to the fact that some people were able to access a demo for the game that was pulled after just an hour. Players were able to wear the “Skin Suit,” which has some consequences, according to Automaton Media (via Kotaku).
The suit’s description states, “Skin suits are outfits specially crafted by Mother Sphere. It covers the body of the Airborne Squad Member and deploys on its own, or expands and contracts depending on the situation. In other words, it’s like a living skin. (Shield is disabled when you put on this Skin Suit.)” That means players will be more vulnerable wearing the Skin Suit than any other skin in Stellar Blade.

Developer Shift Up has made it crystal clear: if you want to be horny, be prepared for your adventure to get way harder. This mechanic is quite similar to the self-destruct ability in Nier: Automata, a title Stellar Blade carries as an influence. In that adventure, you could blow up the lead character’s 2B outfit and leave her in underwear with one health point. Hopefully, Stellar Blade will be like its inspiration in another way: leaving gamers with a sense of existential dread after experiencing its stellar plot.
Stellar Blade will release on PlayStation 5 on Apr. 26, 2024. If you’re interested in more Stellar Blade content, here are all the pre-order bonuses and editions for the upcoming game.
