Stellar Blade Physics Update Makes it Jigglier

Stellar Blade's latest update introduces several new features, most notably "visual improvements to the interaction of EVE's body," according to developer Shift Up.

Stellar Blade's Enhanced Physics

EVE's Updated Appearance and Other Enhancements

(c) Stellar Blade on Twitter (X) The popular PS5 exclusive action game, Stellar Blade, recently received an update. Highlights include making the previously limited-time Summer Event a permanent, toggleable feature. Additional improvements encompass quality-of-life enhancements, new map markers, and the introduction of an "Ammo Package" item for instant ammo replenishment. However, the most discussed change centers on the updated physics engine's impact on EVE's visual representation.

As the Stellar Blade team announced, EVE's physique now exhibits more pronounced movement. The difference between the "before" and "after" is striking, with the updated version showcasing significantly increased animation.

Shift Up has consistently emphasized EVE's design, even including costumes that alter her appearance. The recent update pushes this further, affecting not only EVE but also the way equipment interacts with wind effects, a detail praised by fans for its realistic, "real-time CG" look.

Interestingly, the increased animation seems most noticeable in specific areas of EVE's model, as shown in the provided GIFs.

A more comprehensive physics simulation might also include realistic hair movement to match the body's animation.
