Stellar Blade is not a short game, but once you finish, you may want to head right back in given how good the New Game+ mode is.
Shift Up, the developer behind Stellar Blade, has released a new update, bringing the game to version 1.006.
Shift Up's recent release, Stellar Blade, proves that not all PlayStation exclusives need huge sales figures to be successful.
That impossible to say without knowing each companies individual expectations. For example Arrowhead clearly had a set expectation for Helldivers 2 but the results were far beyond their expectations. Another exclusive for KT (Rise of the Ronin) became their best seller of all time. Was this their expectations? Who knows but I doubt it.
Stellar Blade did very well for a new IP that happened to be exclusive. Did i expect it to do this well? Not sure but what's more important is Shift Up's expectations.
It seems the Stellar Blade roadmap has been leaked via an internal presentation. It mentions Photo Mode coming in August and more.
The problem with NG+ in general is that most time they arent worth doing. Nothing is really added but new difficulty. This games seems to do it right for replayability which is needed these day in games. You dont have to make a game longer story wise and dlc. Do what these guys did.
