- You can use favorites feature on EVE’s equipment.
- New item “Ammo Package” is now available for purchase, which allows you to stock up on all ammunitions to max at once.
- Purchase confirmation pop-up will be shown when spending over 15,000 golds to prevent any unintentional spend.
- Visual improvements of conflicts between EVE’s body.

Shift Up and Sony were recently targeted by a lawsuit in the United States. The owner of StellarBlade.com, Griffith Chambers Mehaffey, has shared the following statement via his lawyer:
Mr. Mehaffey registered the stellarblade.com domain in 2006 and has used the STELLARBLADE name for his business for nearly 15 years. Given this long-standing and public use, it’s difficult to imagine that Shift Up and Sony were unaware of Mr. Mehaffey’s established rights before adopting their identical mark. We believe in fair competition, but when larger companies disregard the established rights of smaller businesses, it’s our responsibility to stand up and protect our brand. The defendants’ far superior resources have effectively monopolized online search results for STELLARBLADE, pushing Mr. Mehaffey’s long-established business into digital obscurity and threatening the livelihood he’s built over more than a decade.
So far, neither Shift Up nor Sony have commented on the lawsuit. Meanwhile, the Seoul-based studio is preparing DLCs and a PC port for Stellar Blade following a highly successful IPO (initial public offering).
