Stellar Blade is just around the corner, with the eagerly-anticipated action game arriving exclusively on PS5 on 26th April. If the wait is proving too much to bear, we've been given a glimpse at some of the game's fearsome Naytiba, which will serve as climactic boss encounters in the game.
While we only see the outlines of several disturbingly shaped monstrosities, we get the impression that the real deal will be nightmare fuel worth of the term. A quote from Shift Up game director Kim Hyung Tae at the start of the video seems incredibly apt: "When creatures don't conform to the human form, they elicit discomfort due to fundamental differences in appearance."
In other Stellar Blade news, Hyung Tae recently emphasised the importance of single-player video games with an ending having a "very important value" in the industry. Shift Up also recently employed a famous Korean cheerleader to cosplay as Stellar Blade protagonist Eve.
What do you think of the Naytiba? Are we in for a truly sci-fi surprise? Let us know in the comments section below.

Really excited for this one!
Yeah imo those are some cool looking monster designs and apparently they were made out of clay first and then scanned into the game.
I enjoyed the demo, so will be picking it up at some point. I don't need to see anymore of the game however.
@MrMagic ...that's the coolest thing I've heard about this game. Like Doom. Neat.
@LikelySatan Yeah it is on the playstation blog now. They hired someone famous from Korean cinema to design the monsters for them out of clay and then scanned them in.
He's worked on some Korean movies like The Host. I've never seen it but I checked rotten tomatoes and it has a 93% score from critics.
@MrMagic The Host is a fantastic film.
@Yorozayu you're the only one here saying that creeps are into the game, sooooo...
@Yorozayu Most of the comments I've seen are pretty much the opposite of that. Ie- "Woke libs will take my pretty girl game, and won't even appreciate __all the things you just said__ because ladies can't be pretty in games anymore (chugs Draino)," and your comment here is the closest I've seen to anyone commenting on her Gamer Dude design. It's such a strange situation, with a ton of people yelling at each other over what they think someone might've said about their toy.
@Yorozayu eh, no one is saying women can't be pretty in games. I was saying what you are saying. That a ton of people are yelling about "woke libs" taking their game away. And that a lot of people are saying there's a huge reaction against her design, and I am not seeing that reaction at all. My apologies, but I am really not sure how you got any of that from my comment when I was saying the exact opposite of what you perceived. We are reading the same book in different libraries. Like...did you notice the quotation marks?
@Yorozayu
There's been stupidity on both sides of the argument.
