PlayStation's newest action-adventure game, Stellar Blade, launched on April 26 to a warm reception from critics. Many have praised Stellar Blade's story, combat system, and more, but some fans feel misled by unexpected outfit censorship. The developers released a day one patch, significantly changing multiple in-game outfits and more, much to the dismay of those who purchased the game. As a result, believers in the game have begun a campaign to #FreeStellarBlade.



Stellar Blade adds outfit censorship in the day-one patch

On April 21, the official Stellar Blade account on 'X' released a statement regarding the game's censorship status. The day-one patch refuted that claim despite the studio alleging that all countries will receive the same uncensored version. Players quickly noticed the censorship of various outfits, including the bunny outfit, that looked noticeably different in the Stellar Blade trailers.

Anyone who preloaded the game on day one of release would have seen the version that ShiftUp presumably intended to release. Unfortunately, for currently unclear reasons, outfits like the one above now appear slightly altered. Additionally, the update addressed offensive graffiti found in-game.

Players have since taken to social media with the hashtag #FreeStellarBlade, and a petition exists for those who want the changes reverted. The petition has garnered over 6,000 signatures, and the game's director has commented on the outrage.

Stellar Blade’s wide selection of outfits has players seeking to unlock them all. While the Bunny outfit has emerged as an early favorite, the Black Pearl Nano Suit is gaining steam. This guide explains how you can unlock this outfit and add it to your collection.



How do I unlock the Black Pearl Nano Suit?

Those looking to unlock the Black Pearl Nano Suit must acquire all 49 collectible cans in the game. These cans of various beverages become more prominent once you have met with Adam and Lily and reached Xion. 



As you navigate through the somewhat desolate city, you will stumble across various vending machines. Some of these dispense drinks which you can acquire by interacting with the machine. After it doesn't work the usual way, Eve will kick it and a beverage will fall out. These are your key to the Black Pearl Nano Suit.






Where can I find cans in Stellar Blade?

























Vending machines containing cans exist in almost every significant area in the game. For example, we found several in Xion and another shortly after in the Wastelands. 



Although we don't have a complete list of the locations yet, your best and easiest place to begin is in Xion. From there, you will be able to identify each machine and add another can to your collection. The best part is you can fast travel to revisit areas you may have missed.



Here is a list of the canned drinks we have found so far. Remember, you need all 49 to receive the Black Pearl Nano Suit:




The Machinetta Caramel Macchiato



Behemoth Red



The Machinetta Americano



Mountain Sparkle Mont Blanc



GrainT Corn




Players have enjoyed watching Eve pose with each can, and it all works toward unlocking this highly sought-after outfit. We will update this article with precise locations, so be sure to check back for more details.

FaZe Clan is "rebooting" with another round of layoffs and updates to its esports teams. The command line terminal-themed video announcement included lists of all members being kept and cut by the organization.



This news from FaZe follows plummeting stock prices, multiple rounds of layoffs, and recent exits from VALORANT and Rocket League esports. The "reboot" seems to be part of an attempt to turn things around under new ownership.



Who made the cut at FaZe Clan?

Stellar Blade is gathering a lot of attention; Is it the blade, the combat animations, the inspiration model, or the different outfits for protagonist Eve? If you're here for the latter, keep reading, because we captured all the styles they showed on the different trailers, and summed some others that were leaked in the last days.



The Stellar Blade bunny outfit is becoming a community favorite



How many Stellar Blade outfits will be available?



During an early interview with PushSquare, the developers made clear that Stellar Blade will feature 30 different outfits at launch, with many accessories like earrings, glasses or different hairstyles to add some customization. 



The number of outfits later increased to 34 with the announcement on April 25, that Stellar Blade will launch with New Game+. The developers have also shared outfits released in the future would all be free, with the exception of crossover content with other franchises. 






All Stellar Blade outfits for EVE



Many game reviewers were able to share media captured via review copies of the game pre-launch, including additional Stellar Blade outfits and their descriptions. This was made the case for Wciśnij Start, who introduced some fresh new suits.  Here's the updated list of all the Stellar Blade outfits. If you thought the Stellar Blade Skin Suit would standalone in grabbing attention, you will be happily surprised.

Fans have already discovered their new favorite outfit, the Bunny costume, following the success of the Skin Suit. While it may not be as revealing as that one, it certainly boasts a playful charm. Allegedly, the suit has been recently patched to make it less revealing, though no changes have been implemented as of yet.

Stellar Blade’s skill tree is one of its most unique features. Players can build out their abilities, attacks, and more using it, but the useful Double Jump doesn't arrive until later in the game. This guide explains how you can get the double jump in Stellar Blade and how to use it.



How do I get the Double Jump in Stellar Blade?







The Double Jump ability arrives a decent way through the game after rescuing Lilly from her crashed pod. Eve travels with Adam and Lily to Xion, humanity's last surviving city. This part of the game offers a much-needed break from combat. 



However, after setting out on a few more missions and returning. Lily will adjust your Exo suit during the Light of Hope questline. After doing so, Eve instantly gains the Double Jump ability.






How do I perform a double jump?




here’s the stellar blade double jump pic.twitter.com/mgt03FK0Kp— Gene Park (@GenePark) April 26, 2024




Thankfully, the Double Jump is one of the easier abilities to master in Stellar Blade. All you have to do is press the 'X' button twice in rapid succession. If done correctly, Eve will jump once followed by another flip to complete the animation.



This skill is useful during your Stellar Blade journey. During our experience, a single jump with a dash sometimes isn't enough to get over those wide gaps or wall-running sequences. The Double Jump makes it much easier to navigate the tough terrain, ensuring you won't have to return back to a camp.

However, while useful for platforming, you won't rely on the Double Jump much in combat. It's not practical to use in that setting and can occasionally hinder your ability to fight enemies, especially the big boss battles.

After this chat, go southeast and eliminate the Corruptor boss. Once that's done, there should be a box nearby. Go up to it and open it to collect the Design Pattern item for Eve's bunny suit.

Stellar Blade bunny outfit censorship



The bunny outfit was censored to a certain extent as a result of the Day 1 patch. If you updated your game to version 1.01, then the nano suit became less revealing.

The Bulletin Board is your best friend if you want to help out the citizens of Xion by doing side quests to earn a bit of Gold and some other rewards. Of course, you're helpless if one of the requests is automatically refused. That's what happens with the Secret Request in Stellar Blade.






The short answer is, no, you cannot accept the Secret Request listing from Stellar Blade's Bulletin Board. It is enticing with its 5,000 Gold prize, but alas, it is scripted and there's nothing you can do. And no one knows why other than to potentially show EVE's lawful side.



How to unlock Secret Request in Stellar Blade



(Screenshot via esports.gg)



More Stellar Blade requests appear on the Bulletin Board as you progress through the game, or complete other requests listed first. The latter is how you'll come across the Secret Request listing in Stellar Blade:




Access the Bulletin Board



Accept the Missing Wife request



Complete the Missing Wife request



Return to the Bulletin Board



Accept Secret Request



Be denied and deal with it




No matter how many times you smash the X button while selecting the request, nothing will happen. It's just one of those small moments used to enhance the main character and the world she finds herself in.






Why does EVE refuse Secret Request in Stellar Blade?



(Screenshot via esports.gg)



EVE goes with her gut-feeling for this one. She has a discussion with herself regarding the overclocking of the requester's brain that is mentioned in the listing. EVE calls it intense, and boom, Secret Request in Stellar Blade is outright refused.



(Screenshot via esports.gg)



After [In Progress] goes away during EVE's comments, a big [Refused] tag sits next to the Secret Request listing. Whoever made the request doesn't want the Orcal to know and asks EVE to not get caught. Since EVE is of the law, she doesn't feel right accepting it.

Stellar Blade isn't all about slashing up Naytiba. You can enjoy some leisure activities, like collecting items, or even fishing. It isn't available right away, but once you get it, it can be a hassle trying to get used to fishing in Stellar Blade.






Let us guide you through unlocking it, casting the line, and catching enough to fish to get the Lonely Fisherman trophy.



How to unlock fishing in Stellar Blade

It isn't particular hard to unlock fishing in Stellar Blade. The toughest aspect of it is time. You have to play the game for a handful of hours, until you complete enough main story missions to reach the Great Desert.



(Screenshot via esports.gg)



Once you, Adam, and Lily travel to the Great Desert location, you can meet Clyde. Just head over to the small lake to the east of where your crew lands. Talk to Clyde, who isn't up for much a conversation. After, you can grab the fishing pole off to the side and take part in the minigame.



(Screenshot via esports.gg)



This begins the Looking Glass mission. You just have to successfully catch one fish, then Clyde will finally talk to you. Chat with him to learn his story, then you can truly begin fishing all around Stellar Blade after Looking Glass is completed and you've earned rewards, such as bate and Gold.

How to fish in Stellar Blade





















Once you have the fishing pole, you can find a fishing spot to cast. From there, if a fish bites, you've got to perfect the minigame to reel it in and catch it. Here is the order of controls you need to know to fish properly in Stellar Blade:




Hold Down on the D-Pad and select the fishing rod from the equipment wheel 



Press Down on the D-Pad to to equip the fishing rod

With the review embargo lifted on Stellar Blade, media website IGN came across graffiti in-game that when looked at next to each other appeared to read the phrase "Hard R". The term itself, while maybe harmless to the world at large, is considered a racist slur in particular in North America.  Sony quickly addressed the issue, calling it "unintentional" and announcing it would be patched. 




"The placement of two graphics near each other in Stellar Blade resulted in an unintentional objectionable phrase. Shift Up had no intention of creating offensive artwork and will be replacing the graffiti for the Day 1 patch."

What was the "Hard R" graffiti about in Stellar Blade?



Image Source: IGN | Sony claims the racist graffiti in Stellar Blade was "unintentional"



Stellar Blade has a character who runs a shop as an information broker in-game. This character, called Roxanne, runs the "R Shop". The R Shop sign has a large R with the word shop written underneath it. Right next to it is graffiti that says the word "Hard". Unfortunately for the developers it visually came across as a "Hard R", which evokes a references to a racial slur, particularly in North America. Reviewers pointed out this unintentionally racist graffiti on Twitter, prompting backlash towards the game.

<p>EA FC 24 is finally here and the first Team of the Week (TOTW 1) of the season is coming. We'll know all of the players featured in the TOTW before the game releases for Early Access on September 22, 2023 but here's our best guess on who will feature in the first TOTW of the new game. </p>



<p>Team of the Week is getting some significant changes in EA FC 24, with the biggest of them being the inclusion of the top five women's leagues in Europe for selection. Will any of those players make our selection? </p>



<h2 id="h-ea-fc-totw-1-prediction">EA FC TOTW 1 Prediction</h2>



<h4><strong>Goalkeeper: Lukas Hradecky (Bayer Leverkusen)</strong></h4>



<p>Leverkusen may have drawn 2-2 against Bayern in the Bundesliga on the weekend but Lukas Hradecky is almost single-handedly responsible for that. He had nine shots on target against him from Bayern, making seven saves, salvaging a point for the team. </p>

<h4><strong>Defender: Andrew Robertson (Liverpool)</strong></h4>



<p>The Reds had to do it the difficult way against Wolves at Molineux on the weekend. Jurgen Klopp's team came from behind to win and thanks in no small part to Andy Robertson's goal. </p>



<p>Scottish fullback Robertson darted forward on one of his now effectively patent runs into opposition territory to slam the Reds into the lead and basically win them all three points against Gary O'Neil's side.</p>



<h4><strong>Defender: Wendie Renard (Lyon Women)</strong></h4>



<p>Lyon enjoyed a dominant win away against Le Havre in Division 1 Feminine last weekend. Wendie Renard more than played her part in securing the win. She pounced on a Vanessa Gilles header to nod the ball into the back of the net to score Lyon's second of their four against Le Havre.</p>

(Olympique Lyon, 3); Porträt, Einzelbild, photo via Steffen Prößdorf.</figcaption></figure>



<h4><strong>Defender: Sakina Karchaoui (PSG Feminine)</strong></h4>



<p>PSG travelled to Bordeaux last weekend for their season opener in D1 Feminine and they got off ot the perfect start. Three goals in three minutes dismantled Bordeaux. Sakina Karchaoui got that spell started from the penalty spot, with the fullback showing calmness from 12 yards for her side. </p>



<h4><strong>Midfielder: Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig)</strong></h4>



<p>A goal and an assist in RB Leipzig's 3-0 win over Augsburg on September 16, Simons has enjoyed a fantastic start to his loan spell at Die Rotten Bullen. He earns a rightful spot in TOTW 1 to celebrate his impact in the Bundesliga.</p>



<h4><strong>Midfielder: Bernardo Silva (Manchester City) </strong></h4>



<p>Bernardo Silva helped Manchester City to a comeback win against West Ham at the London Stadium this weekend. His goal gave them the lead with less than 15 minutes to play and then his assist for the enigmatic Erling Haaland put the game to bed. More than deserving of a spot in TOTW 1. </p>

<h4><strong>Midfielder: Henrikh Mkitaryan (Inter)</strong></h4>



<p>Inter showed their dominance of the San Siro against their housemates AC on the weekend. Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkitaryan scored two of the FIVE goals that Inter came away with in their resounding derby day win. </p>



<h4><strong>Midfielder: Muhammed Kerem Aktürkoğlu (Galatasaray)</strong></h4>



<p>Galatasaray had to fight harder than expected to get past early Super Lig strugglers Samsunspor. Two goals from Muhammed Akturkoglu was enough to help them on their way to a 4-2 win. They are just about keeping pace with Fenerbahce at the top of the Turkish league.</p>



<h4><strong>Forward: Joao Felix (Barcelona)</strong></h4>



<p>You could pick any number of Barcelona players to fill this spot after their 5-0 thumping of Real Betis this past weekend. Joao Felix is the one we've gone with based on the pure electricity and energy that he has brought to the Barcelona team since joining in the summer. His goal against Betis shared that exact energy and puts him in our TOTW 1 prediction. </p>



<h4><strong>Forward: Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus)</strong></h4>



<p>Serbian Dusan Vlahovic had a tough time in his maiden Juventus campaign last season but if he can keep up with his early season pace this year, he'll have no trouble. A brace (two goals) against Lazio was enough to earn his side all three points at home. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.esports.gg/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Dusan_Vlahovic_Juventus_pre-match_2021-22-1024x576.webp" alt="Vlahovic could make TOTW 1. Photo via Getty Images." class="wp-image-297284"/><figcaption>Vlahovic could make TOTW 1. Photo via Getty Images.</figcaption></figure>



<h4><strong>Forward: Terem Moffi (Nice)</strong></h4>



<p>Not even Kylian Mbappe could stop Terem Moffi from getting his Nice side a historic win at Parc des Princes in Paris on Friday. Moffi scored twice to lead Nice to a 3-2 win over defending French Champions PSG. </p>



<h4>Reserve players: </h4>



<p><strong>Neto </strong>(GK, Bournemouth); <strong>Tarik Lamptey </strong>(DF, Brighton); <strong>Bernard </strong>(MF, Panathinaikos); <strong>Melissa Kossler</strong> (FW, Hoffenheim Frauen); <strong>Ewelina Kamczyk</strong> (MF, Fleury Feminine); <strong>Tim Kleindienst </strong>(FW, Heidenheim); <strong>Victor Gyokeres</strong> (FW, Sporting Club de Lisboa)</p>

EA FC 24 TOTW 1 Prediction: Renard, Robertson and Lewandowski could headline

<p>EA FC is the latest effort in the soccer simulation world from EA Sports. They have dropped the FIFA name and are going out on their own. People are wanting to get themselves the new title as easily as possible, leading to the question: Is EA FC 24 on Xbox Game Pass? </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.esports.gg/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/ea-sports-fc-early-access-ea-play-trial-e1689251547410-1024x576.webp" alt="EA FC will not come to Xbox Game Pass on release." class="wp-image-297412"/><figcaption>EA FC will not come to Xbox Game Pass on release.</figcaption></figure>



<p>EA and Xbox have a now-long standing partnership to include EA Play on Xbox Game Pass. This allows users with Xbox Game Pass to access a whole host of EA features through EA Play. </p>



[esports_link url="https://esports.gg/news/gaming/ea-fc-24-totw-1-prediction-renard-robertson-and-lewandowski-could-headline/"]



<p>EA Play Pro is the premium version of EA Play that costs $10 more per month to get access to. This version is not included in Xbox Game Pass but will get you access to for the full Early Access and then the full game on September 29, 2023. </p>



<h2 id="h-will-ea-fc-be-on-xbox-game-pass">Will EA FC be on Xbox Game Pass? </h2>



<p>Xbox Game Pass will allow you to play EA FC 24, but only for 10 hours. EA gives 10-hour trials of all of their premium releases to EA Play members. Game Pass including EA Play means that this will transfer over. </p>



[esports_link url="https://esports.gg/guides/gaming/will-ea-fc-24-have-crossplay/"]



<p>EA FC will also eventually come into EA Play too, but it won't be for a long time yet. When EA FC 24 comes to EA Play in mid 2024, it will then be available on Xbox Game Pass. </p>



<p>That will likely happen some time in the middle of 2024, with May-June being the most likely release window for the game on Game Pass. This means that players will have a long wait for the game if they are just wanting to play it through Xbox Game Pass. </p>
