NieR: Automata greatly influenced the development of Stellar Blade, - says the game's director

Among the games that were shown at State of Play, Stellar Blade by Shift Up stood out. Probably, many people noticed that the game looks like NieR: Automata - and it is not without reason.

Here's What We Know

In an interview with Famitsu, the studio's CEO and director, Kim Hyung Tae, said that the well-known PlatinumGames game was a significant source of inspiration for his project. Tae expressed his desire to create a game similar to NieR: Automata, emphasising its influence on his creative vision.

Other projects that have also influenced the development of Stellar Blade to varying degrees include Bayonetta, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Ty's fascination with God of War, which offered a huge game world without being a fully open world, likely influenced Stellar Blade's semi-open world design.

Where To Play

Stellar Balde will be available on PlayStation 5 upon release.

When We Can Expect It

The game is scheduled for release on 26 April.
