Stellar Blade is finally less than a month away from its release, and the developers are sharing more information about the game to keep the fans excited for the launch coming soon.

During a recent interview, SHIFT UP confirmed that Stellar Blade will only be about 20-25 hours long.

Why it matters: This playtime is on the shorter end. However, Stellar Blade is more of an action game than most big releases, so it still offers replayability for those looking to master the gameplay.

This information comes from the SHIFT UP CEO and general director. In his latest interview, he addressed various parts of the game, but translations might not be 100% accurate since the interview was not conducted in English originally.

When discussing the game length, the developers stated that Stellar Blade could be completed in around 20 hours.

If only the main story is played on easy mode, 20-25 hours.

However, it has been stated that if you want to complete the game in its entirety with all the side quests, it could offer around 30 to 35 hours of content, which is an excellent length for this genre.

Adding to the good news, he confirmed that there would be no microtransactions. With this trend becoming huge in recent years and gamers spending millions on cosmetics, fans will be glad to know that SHIFT UP is not following tradition from the get-go.

there are no additional business models. All items can be acquired through gameplay.

However, he hinted that the game may collaborate with other IPs in the near future, and paid purchases could be added for additional outfits.

Overall, Stellar Blade has everyone’s attention. The game’s recent demo was received surprisingly well, prompting many to buy the higher-end editions. SHIFT UP’s recent interviews have only added to this excitement.

With Stelar Blade weeks away from launch, it will be interesting to see how the game performs. There has been no shortage of controversy around this release, but SHIFT UP remains confident in its original vision.
