The recent PlayStation-exclusive title, Stellar Blade, has managed to build a fan base around itself despite only being a few months old, and these players have now started pointing out how few things could have been done better in the game.
This includes how Shift Up, the studio responsible for creating the title, missed a huge opportunity to introduce a boss fight that has been resting in plain sight all this time.
Stellar Blade Fans Are Pointing Out What Could Have Been a Great Boss Fight
Being the action-adventure RPG it is, the game offers a lot of bosses throughout the playthrough to keep the player engaged. However, fans have started asking for more, especially after coming across what could have been the best boss fight in Stellar Blade.
A few minutes into the prologue, players come across what is arguably the largest creature in all of Stellar Blade, and they have started questioning why it was not presented as a boss fight instead, with some even listing it as a missed opportunity.
Why didn’t we ever fight that big one in the distance???

To allow Eve to fight fairly, it would essentially have been a great hurdle for the developers of the game to set up a boss arena and separate mechanics for this one single fight in the game, ultimately making more for it to be left for background aesthetics instead.
Is Shift Up a Genius for Setting up the Sequel for Stellar Blade Early?
Unfortunately, there is no official announcement or even a tease for a prequel or sequel to one of the best PlayStation-exclusive titles released in 2024. However, the first game has laid the perfect groundwork for a follow-up installment, setting the stage with plenty of mysteries yet to be solved and creatures yet to be fought.
Alternatively, fans can soon get to fight the hyped-up enemy in a future DLC, something which is only possible if developers make sure to note what players want to see in the game next and execute it perfectly.
Additionally, what the studio can do more is introduce the story of fan-favorite characters such as Raven in the DLC, which would fit right in with the main game and would make sure to provide more context to the main game, unlike Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree expansion.
