The latest Stellar Blade update introduces several new features to the PS5 exclusive, including noticeable "visual improvements" to character physics, as detailed by developer Shift Up.
Stellar Blade's Enhanced Physics
More Than Just Visual Tweaks
(c) Stellar Blade on Twitter (X) The update includes the permanent addition of the previously limited-time Summer Event, map improvements with new mark pins, a new "Ammo Package" item for instant ammo replenishment, and various quality-of-life enhancements. However, the most discussed change centers on the updated physics engine's impact on character visuals, specifically Eve's physique.
The update noticeably increases the animation of Eve's bust. A comparison of before-and-after GIFs clearly showcases this amplified jiggle effect.
While Shift Up has consistently emphasized Eve's design, this update pushes the visual presentation further. Social media feedback also notes improved physics affecting gear movement in windy conditions, praised by some as achieving a "real-time CG" look.
Interestingly, the increased jiggle effect seems primarily concentrated on Eve's chest, as shown in the provided GIFs.
A more comprehensive physics implementation might also include corresponding movement in her hair.
