Stellar Blade Has Creepy Way of Breaking the Fourth Wall
- Stellar Blade’s Eve breaks the Fourth Wall by staring back at players, adding a creepy but amusing element to the game.
- It’s possible that there are other undiscovered Easter eggs players still need to find.
The PlayStation 5 exclusive Stellar Blade breaks the Fourth Wall if players stare at Eve long enough by having her stare right back at them. Eve has dominated much of the discussion surrounding Stellar Blade since the game’s reveal. Her over-the-top outfits and incredible combat prowess have made her quite popular, though she has also found herself at the center of some of the game’s bigger controversies.
It’s no secret that Stellar Blade sexualizes Eve, with players able to dress her up in all kinds of incredibly-revealing outfits. There have been some accusations that Stellar Blade outfits have been censored post-launch, resulting in a fan petition demanding that the alleged changes be reversed. Besides this controversy, Stellar Blade has otherwise been very well-received by the community, earning high review scores and selling well.

Stellar Blade Fans Hijack Indie Game Post
Angry Stellar Blade fans hijack a PlayStation Twitter post that is attempting to promote an upcoming indie game.
As fans play through the game, they’ve started discovering secrets and Easter eggs hidden by the developers. One such Easter egg happens if players keep the camera trained on Eve for too long. As discovered by Reddit user pablo_honey1, if one keeps the camera stuck on Stellar Blade protagonist Eve, she will eventually stare right at it, directly at the player. Some have found this discovery amusing, while others find the way Eve breaks the Fourth Wall to be rather creepy, especially since her eyes seem to follow the camera, as shown in the video.
How Stellar Blade Breaks the Fourth Wall
Stellar Blade is full of collectibles to find and optional areas to explore, so there’s a decent chance that there are other secrets that the community still needs to discover. It will be interesting to see whatever else Stellar Blade has up its sleeve. And even if players have already found everything there is to find in the base game, there’s a chance that future DLC or updates could potentially add more Easter eggs to uncover.
As it stands, plans for Stellar Blade DLC remain mostly a mystery. Fans know that new outfits for Eve are on the way, but developer Shift Up hasn’t provided specifics. With Stellar Blade such a big sales success out of the gate though, one has to imagine that the developers will be looking to support the game with a combination of free updates and potential paid DLC, so it will be interesting to see what happens.
