Blade Physics Update Enhances Realism

The latest Stellar Blade update introduces several new features to the PS5 exclusive title, including notable "visual improvements" to protagonist Eve's character model, courtesy of developer Shift Up.

Stellar Blade's Enhanced Physics

More Than Just "Visual Improvements"

(c) Stellar Blade on Twitter (X) Shift Up's recent patch includes the permanent addition of the previously limited-time Summer Event Update, offering players an optional toggle. Further enhancements encompass quality-of-life improvements, new map markers, a convenient "Ammo Package" item for instant ammo replenishment, and more. However, the most discussed change revolves around the updated physics engine and its impact on Eve's appearance.

The update noticeably increases the jiggle physics applied to Eve's chest area. A comparison of before-and-after GIFs clearly demonstrates the amplified bouncing effect.

While Shift Up has never shied away from showcasing Eve's physique (even including a skin-tight costume), this update pushes the visual presentation further. The enhanced physics also affect equipment movement in windy conditions, a detail praised by some players for its realistic, "real-time CG" appearance.

However, it appears the increased jiggle effect is primarily concentrated on Eve's chest, as illustrated in the provided GIFs.

A more comprehensive physics implementation might also incorporate realistic movement in her hair.
