In November, Stellar Blade developer Shift Up formalized its partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainment by officially becoming a second party PlayStation partner, and unsurprisingly, its upcoming action RPG’s price is going to reflect that.
Since the launch of the PS5, games released under the PlayStation Studios umbrella for Sony’s current-gen machine have largely launched with a price tag of $70 instead of $60, which previously used to be the industry-wide standard (with a few exceptions, like Sackboy: A Big Adventure and the upcoming Helldivers 2). In a PlayStation Blog post, it’s been confirmed that Stellar Blade, too, will launch at a price of $70.
Meanwhile, in addition to the aforementioned $70 standard edition, Sony has also revealed a digital deluxe edition for the semi-open world action RPG. Priced at $80, on top of the base game itself, it will also include in-game cosmetics in the form of the Stargazer Suit, Half-Rim Glasses, and Quadruple Rectangle Earrings for Eve, Stargazer Wear for Adam, Stargazer Coat for Lily, and the Stargazer Pack for the Drone. Also included will be 2,000 SP EXP and 5,000 Gold in-game currency.
Pre-orders for the game are set to go live on February 7. Those who pre-order the game will also receive an early unlock for the Planet Diving Suit, Classic Round Glasses, and Ear Armor Earrings for Eve. These bonuses are also included with the digital deluxe edition.
Stellar Blade launches on April 26 for PS5.
