The latest Stellar Blade update introduces several new features to the PS5 exclusive title, including what developer Shift Up describes as "visual improvements to the depiction of EVE's body."
Stellar Blade's Enhanced Physics
Updated Physics and EVE's Appearance
(c) Stellar Blade on Twitter (X) Shift Up's recent patch for Stellar Blade includes the permanent addition of the previously limited-time Summer Event Update, now togglable at will. Other improvements encompass quality-of-life enhancements, new map markers, a convenient "Ammo Package" item for instant ammo replenishment, and more. However, the most discussed change centers on the updated physics engine and its impact on EVE's character model.
As highlighted by the development team, the update noticeably increases the animation of EVE's bust. A comparison of before-and-after GIFs clearly demonstrates the enhanced jiggle physics.
While Shift Up has consistently presented EVE with a certain level of visual emphasis, this update undeniably amplifies the effect. This isn't limited solely to EVE; social media feedback indicates the new physics also affect equipment movement in windy conditions, with one player commenting on the "realistic CG" appearance.
However, the most pronounced effect of the updated physics seems to be concentrated on EVE's chest area, as shown in the provided GIFs.
A more realistic physics simulation might also include corresponding movement in her hair.
