Not only did Stellar Blade start life as a game that would launch on other major platforms, it once went by a different name. Previously titled Project Eve, if you’re wondering why you’ve not heard about that game for a while, well, this is why. Project Eve became Stellar Blade in 2022 and witha release date locked in for May 20, 2025, now is the time to place your pre-order, especially since you’ll get some additional in-game items for doing so.
