With Stellar Blade 2’s Reveal Near, Real-Life Eve Returned to Dev Shift Up
Korean model Shin Jae-eun, who was famously motion-captured as protagonist Eve in the original Stellar Blade in 2020, has returned to developer Shift Up’s Seoul studio. Her visit comes ahead of the highly anticipated reveal of Stellar Blade 2, which is expected to be announced later this year.
During her time at Shift Up, Jae-eun toured the studio’s performance capture facility, which has been upgraded with new camera technology while maintaining its original layout. She participated in fresh modeling sessions, trying on various outfits during the filming process. The new costumes captured during her visit have sparked fan speculation that they could be introduced to Stellar Blade as free cosmetic updates in the future.
The visit underscores the unique collaborative relationship between Shift Up and Jae-eun, which began with her likeness and motion capture work forming the foundation for the original game’s protagonist. Her appearance at the studio serves as a significant marketing moment for the anticipated sequel, generating fan interest and goodwill ahead of the game’s official reveal later this year.
