At the moment it is not clear why Shift Up decided to introduce these costumes but without modifying those already present in the game or why this novelty was omitted in the details reported on the PlayStation Blog. In any case, it should dampen the controversy of part of the community.
Meanwhile, Shif Up has confirmed that it is working on a second free update to Stellar Blade, which will introduce a photography mode and additional costumes for Eve .
