  • Santa Dress (Eve)

Xion is transformed into a winter wonderland, adorned with warm lights and festive decorations. The Last Gulp and Eve's camp share the festive spirit, complete with seasonal BGM ("Dawn (Winter)" and "Take me away"). A new mini-game, involving a holiday-themed drone, offers special rewards for skilled shots.

Control Your Festive Fun!

This update introduces an option to enable or disable seasonal events, including the Nier:Automata DLC. Navigate to Settings > Gameplay > Seasonal Event Content and choose:

  • Auto: Automatically toggles seasonal content based on the current season.
  • Disable: Deactivates seasonal content regardless of the season.
  • Enable: Activates seasonal content regardless of the season.

Note: Changing this setting requires a game restart.

Mixed Reception:

Following the December 16th announcement, the update received mostly positive feedback, with many players creatively dubbing Eve "Christmas Eve." However, some expressed concern about the frequency of event updates in a single-player game with a relatively short playtime (around 30 hours). The need to restart the game to fully experience the seasonal content was also a point of contention. Unlike games with multiplayer or high replayability, Stellar Blade's shorter length necessitates a restart to fully enjoy these limited-time additions.
