Stellar Blade's Physics Amped Up for Quivering Melee

Stellar Blade's latest update introduces several exciting features, including permanent access to the popular Summer Event and enhanced visual effects. Developer Shift Up highlights "visual improvements to conflicts involving Eve's body," a change that's generated considerable fan discussion.

The update enhances the game's physics engine, resulting in more pronounced movement, particularly noticeable in Eve's character model. This includes more pronounced animation in her chest area. Other improvements include quality-of-life updates, map enhancements with new marker pins, and the addition of an "Ammo Package" item for instant ammo replenishment.

The updated physics also affect how gear interacts with wind effects, creating a more realistic and dynamic visual experience. One player described the improved visuals as "real-time CG." While the changes to Eve's character model have been the focus of much online commentary, the overall impact of the updated physics engine extends beyond a single character element.

The increased animation is most prominent in specific areas of Eve's character model. A more comprehensive application of realistic physics would likely result in similar movement in other areas, such as her hair.

The update represents a significant visual upgrade for Stellar Blade, enhancing both character animation and environmental detail.
