Stellar Blade’s Game Length Expect to Be Around 25 Hours; 30-50 Hours for Full Completion

Stellar Blade has been having quite the news blowout ever since its release date was announced at last month’s State of Play event, and though much of the game still remains a mystery, we now have a firm idea of just how long it’ll take to beat.

Speaking to Korean outlet RULIWEB, Shift Up’s CEO said this about the campaign’s length.

“Question: I understand that the reason for the release being slightly later than originally expected was that volume issues were pointed out during Sony’s inspection process. I’m curious what content was added to improve this, and to what extent the total play time is guaranteed.

CEO Kim Hyeong-tae: It is not that defects were discovered during the inspection process, but the release was delayed due to the polishing process. Playtime is expected to be about 25 hours for the main story and 30 to 50 hours if you include all the collection elements.”

Aside from Stellar Blade’s campaign length, developer Shift Up spoke to Famitsu (via Gematsu) and a trove of gameplay details was shared:

  • Linear game mixed with semi-open world areas
  • Inspired by NieR: Automata
  • Combos, parries and evasion play a big role in combat
  • Gameplay requires you to carefully asses enemy movements
  • Difficulty can be adjusted
  • Boss battles are a key element
  • Each boss has a unique attack pattern
  • Includes long range weapons
  • Help restore the city of ‘Zion’ and its residents
  • Receive side quests from NPCs in town
  • Will have fishing!
  • Eve has 20-30 costumes
  • Adam and Lily also have costumes
  • There will be rare costumes
  • Collect costume material and designs in-game
  • Costumes can also be purchased in towns
  • Inspired by Battle Angel Alita and Blade Runner
  • Inspired by other games such as Sekiro, Bayonetta, God of War and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

It sounds like players can expect plenty, not only from the campaign but also from whatever side content it’ll have at release, which thankfully isn’t far off, as Stellar Blade will be available exclusively for the PS5 on April 26.
