Top 5 predictions about photo mode & DLCs | Stellar Blade's Roadmap

[@matrxzeno4761]

Man I was not expecting a whole ass road map for this game. This is great.

[@unlistednaytiba]

Heck yea. me too. Hopefully in 2025, we'll get more details on Shift Up's further plans to maintain Stellar Blade

[@moisesalfaro3265]

They should be making tons of skins a game called the first descendant capitalizing on stellar blades inactivity selling bunny suits for like 50$

[@unlistednaytiba]

Yeah first descendant doing typical free-to-play stuff with moniziation, example: charging money to change the color of the outfit every time you change the color.

[@drumrocka]

Did this dude really just say “CHasm”? Bruh

[@unlistednaytiba]

haha. you right :)

[@mauricewatkins8968]

This is more than just a roadmap, it’s an EVOLUTION!

[@diegofranco7500]

I see what you Lily there!

[@unlistednaytiba]

Heck yea. Glad you saw that :) Appreciate having you here.

[@natsudragneel9561]

i wish DLC is about raven quest to find the truth about mother sphere

[@unlistednaytiba]

You're talking about after she's left for dead? or prequel type. Either would be cool, but if you're talking about after, that would be cool. I didn't think about that. We could see her get new arms and an exospine upgrade, then pursue her hatred/vengeance towards Mother Sphere.

[@tonysimon8060]

I would hope her story to be told via a prequel game instead of a DLC

[@thfreakinacage]

A prequel of some sort could be great, but I don't think Raven would work. We know Raven's fate and it wouldn't make a good ending for the player.

[@nathanielgarza9198]

I really wanted to see the Mann fight in that The moment they showed Mann I knew he would be a boss fight but it never happened 😢

[@hueco5002]

Eve needs a 2B skin. Yoko Taro would be proud.

[@unlistednaytiba]

Yes, it would be extremely epic and an iconic mashup

[@misberave]

it will happen

[@Vynne96-jg7er]

Stellar Blade x Nikke would be great

[@thepabs911]

If we don't get a 2B or A2, I will be shocked and saddened. Make it happen Shift Up!! 🤩

[@engirish1977]

Man if they gave Eve a killer smile for photo mode, that would make my day

[@unlistednaytiba]

Yea, they have got to put in the ability to toggle facial expressions.

[@yassinefarah2423]

it would make more sense if the DLC was actually about Adam, his story giving context to Mother Sphere's betrayal, the Final War and his encounter and relationship with Raven.

[@unlistednaytiba]

I feel like prequel content would be great because it would fill in a lot of the story that so much of the stellar blade community is curious about. The only hard thing about some parts of a prequel DLC would be thinking about who we would control during gameplay. If there is ADAM filled content, it may be challenging for Shift Up to design gameplay around him.

[@BeetleSkyGames]

They didn’t announce it as a collaboration but the Red Hood and Midsummer Alice outfits are named after characters from NIKKE.

[@unlistednaytiba]

Maybe they were and are able to do that with Stellar Blade too (the yellow tracksuit and the Top Flight outfit since they take reference from Kill Bill and Top Gun).

[@planetgodzilla473]

Wait theres a steller blade comic!?!? Thanks for dropping that info.

[@petermoreno333]

If there is where can we purchase?

[@Kurupt26]

​@@petermoreno333 Its a free online webcomic

[@MadBeastTitan]

Probably talking about that little digital comic that was released on the Playstation Twitter account before the game released

[@unlistednaytiba]

Yes, like @MadBeastTitan said, it's pretty short. I thought they were going to make it into a series, but unfortunately it seems like a one and done.

[@BeetleSkyGames]

Shift Up and Square Enix already did a NieR Automata collab in NIKKE so it’s possible they do it again for Stellar Blade

[@unlistednaytiba]

Heck yea... didn't know they already worked out something on their past game. Appreciate you sharing :)

[@bryanalonso7978]

Waiting and saving up tickets and gems for stellar blade collab tbh

[@deadnalive9166]

All I want from the Stellar Blade photo mode is letting me triangulate the light(like in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty) and allow it to be activated anytime( like in the middle of a cutscene ). For DLC, if they were to implement a roguelike or roguelite mode; I think it should be for a playable Tachy fighting waves of enemies in a Simulation(like in the motion comic)... this would give Tachy a more in depth background along w/ no affecting much of the story of the main game. I think Raven should be saved up for a sequel, where she starts weak and gradually gets fix back to her former glory while going through a character arc

[@unlistednaytiba]

I like your idea of playing as Tachy through the simulation training. Also, if we get Raven in a sequel, they could go the Bungie.- Halo 2 route (playing as John and Arbiter) where we would play as EVE and Raven. Seeing both their POV's in a sequel would be amazing.

[@KL-ed4fq]

It won't be a Sony collab because it would not carry over to the pc version. It's nier automata 100%

[@unlistednaytiba]

I think that's the heavy favorite :)

[@apathy2454]

I am DYING for the soundtrack release I wish they gave us a release date :(

[@unlistednaytiba]

Curious to see if they do a vinyl release like they did overseas with the preorder.

[@lHaloMasterl]

Well its gona be free on Spotify this summer, more then enough ;)

[@gideonemberson3350]

Ive been searching for anyone else that wants these features but i havent been able to find anyone Feature 1 - the option to remove the pony tail completely (cause some hair styles look better without the pony tail) Feature 2 - the option to change the colour of her blade (her customes would looked alot better with a sword matching its colour) Am i the only one this bothers?

[@unlistednaytiba]

Great points. My response for your points: #1 - I think they could easily give that option, but not sure if they would. Kim Hyung Tae jokingly said if EVE didn't have her long hair the game would have came out a year earlier (basically saying so much effort went into getting her hair to move and flow the right way). So with all that effort they put into her hair and ponytail, they might want to leave it in. Also, EVE"s ponytail has seemed to become one of her iconic components that make up her look. #2 - That would be really cool. I love the red hue we get when she does her burst attacks, so seeing other colors would be great too.

[@mhcass2]

I like the idea of a narrative dlc that picks up after the secret ending and sets up the sequel. Maybe take a trip back to the nest were Eve and Lily discover that Raven is missing. Also, it'd be interesting/disturbing if Raven has a lair/shrine dedicated to the Elder. They could also try to find out who accessed the orbit elevator 173 days before they did. I really don't want a prequel narrative driven dlc for Tachy or Raven. I'd feel like that would be a waste of time. Just give us a flashback, audiolog, or legacy to take care of it.

[@unlistednaytiba]

Great idea of exploring the nest and perhaps uncovering some of the "mysteries" of the game such as who accessed the orbit elevator.

[@zackfair6791]

I think a Raven prequel DLC might work. Could be some interesting combat and story there. Tachy on the other hand would 100% be a waste of time since she didn't do anything before the events of this game.

[@mhcass2]

@@zackfair6791 They could do a Tachy dlc....Mother Sphere secures the alpha core in space and reverse engineers it into a synthetic core (Mother Core). She makes Tachy 2.0 (for emotional damage), which allows us to finally see how angels are created. We play as new Tachy and go through training which allows us to experience what life on the Colony is actually like. Tachy is then selected for synthetic core infusion and promoted to squad leader, with their mission to set up a Colony beachhead on Earth. In the secret ending/ending, we find out that the essence of the original Tachy is somehow affected Tachy 2.0.

[@zackfair6791]

@@mhcass2 No thanks. Training sessions at the colony sounds incredibly boring.

[@mhcass2]

@@zackfair6791 Not if it's a brief tutorial that ends with Naytiba-Eve boss fight. Kinda mimicking the motion comic, with the rest of the dlc taking place on Earth.

[@royconner8045]

I'd like the ability to change the color of the sword to match the current outfit. At the least, change the color of the hilt piece in her hair to something more neutral, like black.

[@unlistednaytiba]

@gideonemberson3350 also mentioned this. I agree, it would give some great color options to play off of EVE's outfits.

[@nothanksbro420]

Glad i found this Stellar Blade fan channel. Hope it grows with the DLC/expansion, PC port, and sequel 🔥

[@unlistednaytiba]

Appreciate your comment. Your feedback is appreciated. Glad to have you here.

[@freiearth6641]

I rather not have horizon get any inch closer to Stellar Blade. Please don't.

[@unlistednaytiba]

haha i see what you're saying. Horizon gets some hate from time to time.

[@tek87]

There should be a prequel DLC focusing on Lily and her friend. I'm pretty sure they're setting up for that.

[@unlistednaytiba]

Yes I see how a Lily and Iberis DLC would be cool - and it could incorporate the hacking code she made somehow

[@aresrivera9744]

Do you think Adam confirms the existence of Jesus in stellar blade ? He said that wine was the last gift God gave to humans . Which is quoting the last supper. It at the very least means Adam was a Christian

[@unlistednaytiba]

I caught that too - in Matrix 11 right? Yes, definitely because of all the crosses that exist in the game.

[@askmyAK]

Collaboration is going to be Sony exclusive charters. Most likely god of war but horizon on blood borne not out of the question. Ghost of Tsushima did a similar thing, would be very cool to see a blood borne inspired eve

[@unlistednaytiba]

Heck yea. Appreciate your comment. I didn't realize Ghost did a collab with sony first party games.

[@Bombman297]

My 3 favorite ps5 games, Spider man 2, Stellar Blade, and Resident Evil 4 remake

[@unlistednaytiba]

Really incredible games. I'm currently (and very slowly) playing RE4 remake. I've heard great things about that game.

[@MetalDragon5745]

We want emotes for Eve .

[@unlistednaytiba]

Oh year, didn't even think of that. EVE already does the full body-arms out stretch when she is idle, so could definitely have different emotes. That would be hella fun to see.

[@gideonemberson3350]

It would look cool taunting the enemies mid fight

[@lHaloMasterl]

More hairstyles!! More evrything! Pls :)

[@unlistednaytiba]

you right.

[@avgnfandon2]

Definitely shoulda gave a spoiler warning before you mentioned Lily😭

[@unlistednaytiba]

[@Valkyrion126]

If we get a Tifa no sports bra classic outfit for Eve I would die a happy man.

[@unlistednaytiba]

I think all of us will as well :)

[@jacks1678]

This game is so good. I hope the devs bet big in the sequel

[@unlistednaytiba]

Yes I agree. I'm hoping they can really expand with lots of additions for sequels and really open up this IP / universe

[@hjux-so3ls]

I like more DLC with the elevators especially district 3 on that particular space tower. Or more story on Tachy especially when she was in Matrix 11. Basically Raven either didn't or wasn't able to break Tachy so that be interesting.

[@unlistednaytiba]

Yes that would be a cool dynamic and POV shift to either do Tachy or Raven's POV on their dives to earth.

[@obimaul1]

Shifting up is quite common for me in stellar blade

[@unlistednaytiba]

haha you right :)

[@Dronetothetop]

So satisfactory video as always. Thank you for posting!

[@unlistednaytiba]

Heck yea. Appreciate your comment. Glad to have you here.

[@Anbec8]

I just want more Adam lore or interactions for the sequel. It seems a good universe to start the IP. Finished more "free" hopefully they continue carrying the momentum. Can't wait for more DLC

[@unlistednaytiba]

I'm feeling the same way :)

[@matokib.a.p6145]

The male gamers have eve the female gamers have adam...we need more Adam in the dlc

[@unlistednaytiba]

Hard to see that tho cause his essence is inside EVE now. Maybe a new dude will get created?

[@guillotine8061]

They gotta add more hair styles for eve and bayonettas outfit

[@unlistednaytiba]

Heck yea. Both incredible ideas.

[@PeterBerisha]

I think Trish's/Gloria's and Lady/Mary, and potentially Lucia's outfit from Devil May Cry 4/5 would work well on Eve!

[@unlistednaytiba]

Haven't played, but just Googled their looks. Trish and Mary would translate well :)

[@corrd3ll]

Man I already put 255 hrs into this game and got the platinum. I’m glad they still providing content, but I’m burnt out😅

It'll be a good comeback for ya when DLC drops :)

[@Mitsurugi-Ryu]

I would love to have a MG2 Raiden suit on Eve. The ribcage could easily be a reskin on the planet driving suit 2nd

[@rexrey1979]

I'm so looking forward to a sequel. I'm all for narrative DLC focused on Raven. Also, which ending do you consider canonical?

[@unlistednaytiba]

I feel like the Making New Memories (secret) ending where EVE is her new fusion/upgraded form is the one they could move forward with cause it shows EVE's humanity at leading the inhabitants of Xion into the future. Yea, like you said, also looking forward to sequel(s)

[@duannehaughton4893]

I am excited about a full Stellar Blade OST. I listen to the OST so often from KZbin or the mini one on Apple Music.

I wish there was a spoiler alert for this video. You showed all the main characters and talked about the story.

[@MaryGoesMax]

Great video! Oh the upcoming stuff is keeping me quite excited! :3 I'd love story DLC's of Raven and Tachy and maybe even Lily. But I'd be fine with some sort of flashbacks in the sequels. What I haven't heard anyone talk about is a DLC about Adam. It would be very interesting for me to experience his past long before everything went south. At the same time, we would get more knowledge about the creation of Mother Sphere and (especially) the main bosses! I was always curious about their background. 😊 I also think that savage Orcal (before he became 'the prophet') would surely be an interesting boss fight!

[@unlistednaytiba]

Good point about Adam and Orcal. A boss orcal when he was his original Alpha Naytiba form would be great.

[@elkren24]

Hi, thanks for the video, one of the best regarding the future of Stellar Blade. Not a simple "wild speculation", but some really "profound speculation". To think about a collaboration with NierAutomata is obvious and expected by many of us. For the DLC I would like to discover more of Tachy. Even if I find your idea great of telling the stories of the Airborne Squads 1-6. I hope only there will be less jumping then in the Äbyss Lavoire, that was annoying. More story, more exploring, more combat and less jumping would be perfect

[@unlistednaytiba]

Loving your comment. much appreciated. I see what you're saying about the platforming. It seems Abyss had a lot of it to mix up the gameplay - they also had the idea of not allowing EVE to use the blade to make players use the drone gun. But like you said, they'll for sure listen to fan feedback and see what they liked most out of gameplay.

[@victorjaimesdiaz4966]

Great video!, I think that a DLC involving Tachy with Eve or Raven is a no brainer for Shift Up!. It will deepen in the main story of the game and give even more relevance to these two beloved characters from their support and antagonist points of view. I also think that making Eve fight mother sphere is something more expected for a Sequel (Stellar Blade 2) maybe... only time will tell...

[@unlistednaytiba]

Just wanted to say, a lotta respect to you for rocking with these videos. Appreciate having you here on all of them. I agree - if we get DLC's it'll only deepen the impact of the main story.

[@razizzo3937]

Well we will see if they keep their promise cause they still lied at the end of the day

[@RamgelaZ]

I really hope they consider Blood Edge transforming to another type of weapon like for example a bladed whip or something I feel like they could really push boundaries with Eve’s signature weapon! Also I really hope the story gets much better 😅it has so much more potential imo

[@unlistednaytiba]

I can see this happening, but it might take a lot more development time than what they could produce in a DLC. I can see different different weapons coming into play in a sequel with Shift Up having more development time.

[@johnsea212]

nice video😎 for a dlc i think Raven background story is the most appropriate,they can use the same naytiba enemies with maybe some discard during development or like you say a roguelike mode,maybe another new zone in the campaign or in the mother's sphere simulator pre-story with dialogue e cutscene with Tachy ,this can tell info on the friendship between Eve and Tachy

[@unlistednaytiba]

Really appreciate your feedback. all great points and ides :)

[@miharuminato]

Yeah! The DLC might added the storyline of the Angel from Airborne squad 6, The Blaze of Glory Fight!

[@unlistednaytiba]

Heck yea. Stories of different waves seems most plausible because they already have the EVE, Tachy, Raven body frame asset. They could just create stories of different waves and we could play as the angel from that wave.

[@misberave]

When they really take this long until August to make and release the photomode, we know its gonna be a great one. In the DLCs I hope they focus on gameplay elements more than just new suits because what besides photomode are the suits for if we cannot have sick gameplay in it? So hopefully they add new modes with hordes of monsters or something or as you said playable raven or tachy

[@unlistednaytiba]

Totally good points. I agree - seems like they are trying to make a quality photo mode.

[@StellarFade]

I would love to be able to play a DLC prequel story about Eve's life in the colony and her friendship with Tachy. Honestly anything to get more scenes of Tachy 😂

Totally agree. Tachy was such a cool character - must see more of her.

they should add story about Taky and Raven and also make them playable. also they should add options to switch weapon

[@unlistednaytiba]

Yes I heard about the idea of switching weapons - great idea. They could implement a "freezing" technique from Raven's cryo blade and a "firing" technique from Tachy's tachyon blade.

[@feleksdfsdf6271]

I want like to see collaboration with SNK. It would be nice to see Eve in Mai or B. Jenet costume.

You right. Didn't think of that - a Mai outfit would be awesome.

[@DOOMSDAY500]

I think fighting mother sphere should be part 2 of the game that’s way to much for a dlc 😂, a good dlc could be finding a new city/ village of survivors or maybe even naytibas who gained control and sanity like the old man. So much potential for dlcs in this huge world I doubt we’re the only survivors out there

[@unlistednaytiba]

Yes I agree. Finding another "Xion" would be incredible and bring in the ability for growth within the Stellar Blade Universe on Earth. It would be cool to see how another city developed and it would also create a new HUB area for EVE to navigate through.

You are right. I think this could come potentially in their October chunk of content they release cause they don't need to collaborate with a whole other studio/company.

[@hueco5002]

Honestly, I’d be comfy if they simply released the cut content at this point. Game definitely feels like there should have been another alpha (not orcal) and hyper cell (another levoire). Possibly even a third open world section / environment.

Perhaps in a director's cut? Do they do that for video games ever? Or just with movies?

[@Taikaru]

A crossover with Alita would be fantastic! Quadruply if it somehow coincided with the second movie's release :D But they never truly uncensored the game. Hoping the PC version will due to being free of Sony's corrupting influence. And I almost always prefer sequels to prequels because there is more room for plot twists and give the story more room to breathe.

[@unlistednaytiba]

I hear ya. I agree. Sequels are my preference too. Excited to see what is in store over the next few years from Shift Up.

[@xMysticxbutterfly]

is the dlc patched or paid ..... cause theres a dlc that was patched in ..

[@unlistednaytiba]

The outfit collaboration would be paid DLC cause Shift Up would need to license the IP they are working with and therefore want to recoup the cost (and make a little profit too...haha). And I think any narrative DLC they release could go either way. It's hard to tell. I think most people would be happy to pay a reasonable price for a narrative DLC, but some developers release narrative DLC's for no additional cost. Returnal Ascension DLC was free God of War Ragnarok Valhalla DLC was free Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores DLC was paid So, who knows if Stellar Blade narrative DLC is free or paid?
