STELLAR BLADE’S HOLIDAY UPDATE: SANTA EVE, RUDOLPH DRONES, AND A WHOLE LOTTA CHEER!

Mark your calendars, Guardians—Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Shift Up are gifting us a free holiday update for Stellar Blade on December 17! Get ready to deck the halls, hum Jingle Bell Rock in your sleep, and bask in the festive glow of Xion’s holiday transformation.

This isn’t your average seasonal event—it’s a stellar one. Picture this: a stunning Christmas tree lighting up the heart of Xion, turning its typically cold streets into a cozy wonderland that even Rockefeller Center’s iconic tree would envy. Time to snap some in-game selfies, because this is the holiday aesthetic you didn’t know you needed.

Mini-Games, Festive Fashion, and More!

What’s a holiday celebration without some fun and rewards? Xion is rolling out a brand-new mini-game, designed to give you a well-deserved break from the whole “survive at all costs” routine. Play, relax, and reap the rewards—because what’s better than holiday cheer and loot?

Now let’s talk fashion. Eve’s new Santa Dress is here to steal hearts—and maybe cookies—everywhere. Festive, adorable, and guaranteed to spread holiday joy (and maybe a little intimidation in battle). But that’s not all—meet the Rudolph Pack for your Drone! With a glowing red nose and cute antlers, it’s the perfect companion to guide your sleigh—or just brighten up your next boss fight.

Set the Season Your Way

Not feeling the holiday vibes? No problem. The update includes an On/Off feature for seasonal events and even the NieR: Automata DLC. Whether you’re embracing the winter wonderland or sticking to business as usual, you can customize your experience to fit your mood.

Heartwarming Holidays in Xion

This update isn’t just about flashy costumes and fun games (though we’re here for it). The developers poured their hearts into creating a festive atmosphere that transforms Xion’s typically somber streets into a place of warmth and wonder. It’s the perfect excuse to pause, soak in the joy, and create lasting memories—even if your idea of holiday fun is stomping enemies with a festive drone in tow.

Get Ready to Sleigh the Holidays

Whether you’re here for the mini-games, the glowing Christmas tree, or just to see Eve rock the cutest Santa outfit ever, this update has something for everyone. Shift Up’s thoughtful touches make it clear: this is more than just another seasonal event—it’s a celebration of gratitude, joy, and the magic of the season.

So, what are you waiting for? Fire up Stellar Blade on December 17 and dive into the holiday festivities. Just don’t forget to equip your Rudolph Drone—it’s not the holidays without a little red-nosed cheer!
