Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer SHIFT UP will release a free update for Stellar Blade on May 24 that adds a new “Boss Challenge” mode, as well as new Nano Suits and quality-of-life updates, the companies announced.

Get the details below.

Boss Challenge
The Boss Challenge pits you against the 19 bosses from the base game. Hone your skills, outwit your enemies… and brutalize them.
Progression in the Boss Challenge requires battle data from bosses you’ve previously defeated. You can also fight bosses on Hard difficulty setting after you’ve seen the ending of the game.
To start the challenge, you can either load up and use your own gear you’ve been using or choose one of several presets. Choose the minimum preset for a true challenge, which is extremely understated, or the maximum preset, which has all of your skills and stats buffed up, if you want to taunt the boss with some spectacular combat.

After the challenge is over, your battle data is automatically analyzed. You’ll see metrics like battle time, number of perfect parries and dodges, consumable usage, and more. Test your skills and compare with your friends.
If you defeat all bosses in the Boss Challenge on Normal difficulty setting or higher, you’ll get to earn the Neurolink Suit for Eve. Hats off to your strength!

New Nano Suits added
Blood, blade… and beauty. Eve can be summarized in these three words. New Nano Suits have been added to bring out her beauty even more.
The two Nano Suits above, White Kunoichi and Black Kunoichi, will be available in this new update.
And check out the game yourself for more Nano Suits.

Quality-of-Life Improvements
If you switch to ranged attack mode and switch back while locked on to an enemy, you will automatically lock on to the enemy again.
Also, we’re adding an option to always show the compass in the HUD.

There is apparently a little surprise in the update. Maybe not the photo mode, but you never know.

Now that its horny honeymoon is over, how is the actual game besides the hot babe? I still havent bought it due to backlog, but I'm curious if its just horny bait with decent gameplay or does it genuinely have a great story like Nier Automata? I might wait for a few patches/features before buying it.

The combat in my opinion is super fun with fun boss battles but dont expect story telling be as good as Nier since Yoko Taro in my opinion is one of the best story teller in the industry.

I hope there's a discount soon. I've waited this long, might as well wait a little longer.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Sigh, the Boss Challenge requires you to have unlocked all the final bosses. So you need to have cleared the game twice and gotten the endings which have the different final bosses. LMAO and I was waiting on starting into NG+ because I wanted to play through NG+ with the Boss Challenge outfit

Oh right, Roxanne has a special gift for you........

It's the infamously censored outfits from the Day 1 patch, they re-released them, the madmen
