Stellar Blade Director Kim Hyung Tae has announced upcoming post-launch content plans for the action-adventure game. Players can expect free updates, including a New Game+ mode and extra costumes to customize the protagonist, Eve. The game hasn’t even been released yet, but most people are okay with DLC being separate and planned before release as long as it’s free.

In a ruliweb article translated by Genki on X (formerly known as Twitter), Director Kim Hyung Tae has addressed concerns about potential microtransactions in Stellar Blade. He assures fans that the core game experience will not include hidden costs or surprises. He emphasized that Stellar Blade would not require any additional expenses beyond what anyone paid for the package.

“We want to make it clear at this point that Stellar Blade will not require any additional expenses that gamers are not aware of beyond what they paid for the package. The only exception is if we create collaboration costumes with another company’s IP, those may be sold for a fee. Also, there is no New Game+ in the launch version, so please look forward to it being updated very soon.”

This would only happen differently when there’s a collaboration with other companies to create special outfits. These unique costumes, made in partnership with other brands, might be sold. This opens up the possibility for exciting crossovers and themed outfits within the Stellar Blade universe.

While New Game+ won’t be available in the first version of Stellar Blade, Director Kim Hyung Tae has confirmed that the update, which includes this highly requested feature, will be released shortly after the game’s launch. New Game+ modes typically let players replay the game with some progress carrying over, offering added challenge and replay value.

The inclusion of extra free content after the game’s launch, such as costumes and New Game+ mode, aims to enhance the Stellar Blade gaming experience. Director Kim Hyung Tae’s focus on steering clear of imposing additional expenses shows a dedication to honoring the player’s commitment. This combination of added game elements and openness about finances will probably be well-received by fans anxiously anticipating the release of Stellar Blade.
