Stellar Blade: Blood Rain Dev Hints At Potential Day One Xbox Release

Stellar Blade: Blood Rain's Reveal Is Allegedly Riddled with Generative AI

Not like this. As a massive fan of Stellar Blade I take no pleasure in writing this, but it does appear that the reveal trailer for new game Blood Rain and its associated key art is riddled with generative AI. Fans have pointed to various examples, from the look of protagonist Evie through to some nonsensical architecture in the key art, but Chinese players have perhaps spotted the biggest telltale sign.

They say they just need time. It's been a weird week-or-so for Stellar Blade. A sequel to the highly popular PS5 and PC game was announced at the State of Play last week (called Stellar Blade: Blood Rain), and the developer hinted that it might be a multiplatform release.
