Stellar Bladewas released earlier this year to critical acclaim, receiving specific praise for its gameplay and visuals. As such, it’s no surprise that players of the game have wanted to explore these visuals more thoroughly with a dedicated photo mode.The news thatStellar Bladewould not feature a photo modewas a great disappointment to many fans upon the game’s launch, especially given the extent of how important the visuals ofStellar Bladeare.

As posted to Twitter by the officialStellar Bladeaccount, the post contains a photo ofStellar Bladeprotagonist posing amid the backdrop of a small oasis. The photo features no HUD elements and isn’t from any existing cutscene, leading fans to believe that the photo is a teaser of an upcoming photo mode. Following a presentation from developers Shift Up earlier this year,Stellar Bladewas confirmed to be receiving a photo mode in August, with new outfits coming soon after, so this small teaser lines up with that announcement if a photo mode is released in the coming weeks. This comes nearly four months after the initial release ofStellar Bladebut fans don’t seem to mind the wait now that the end is in sight.
A Photo Mode Is Set to Release in August for Stellar Blade
A photo mode forStellar Bladehas been highly requested by fans, predating the launch of the game itself, so to have one on the horizon is a big relief for fans. The news of a photo mode is hot off the heels of circling rumors regardingStellar Bladereceiving a PC port. CEO Kim Hyung-Tae has said on record that while a PC port is something Shift Up is interested in, a timeframe of this is uncertain due to their partnership with Sony, butrecent job openings at Shift Uphave led fans to believe that aStellar BladePC port is being worked on much sooner than thought.
It isn’t just a photo mode and a PC port in the works for Shift Up, as a sequel is also being considered forStellar Blade. This likely will not see light for a long time if it does happen, and some fans believethe game would better suit a prequel that dives into the rich lore ofStellar Blade. For those fans who have been waiting for the opportunity to take myriad photos of EVE, that moment looks to be just around the corner.
