Stellar Blade players will have to wait longer for the anticipated photo mode. Although the feature has been teased multiple times, suggesting an imminent release, a recent post by the developer, Shift Up, indicates that the feature is not yet ready. This delay is disappointing for players eager to explore the game's praised visuals, both in environments and character designs.
Despite the excitement generated by previous announcements, Shift Up's latest update on Stellar Blade's official Twitter account indicates that the photo mode will not be available as soon as expected. The developers urged players to enjoy the summer, sharing a photo of the protagonist, EVE, in a swimsuit. Previously, a roadmap update had scheduled the photo mode for August, with new skins planned for October. However, it seems the timeline might be adjusted, possibly releasing summer-themed skins first.
The photo mode is one of the most desired features among Stellar Blade fans since the game's launch. Despite the delay, fans seem more concerned about whether the new swimsuit skin will be censored, as previous skins were post-launch. There is no official release date for the skins or photo mode, leaving fans to speculate on how these elements will be implemented. Additionally, rumors of a PC port for Stellar Blade suggest that development focus may be shifting, which could affect the timing of other updates like the photo mode.
