The future of humanity hangs in the balance in Stellar Blade, an action-adventure game exclusive to the PS5 that was developed by Shift Up, a Korean studio, and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Earth has been abandoned and strange creatures are ravaging what’s left, but EVE has been tasked with saving humankind and reclaiming the planet. Join EVE and her companions on this stunning journey with crisp details, vibrant colors, and 4K visuals provided by the X3100i gaming projector. Welcome to the BenQ Game Zone Series!

Reclaim Earth for Humankind

The Naytiba are the ravenous creatures who have taken over the planet, forcing what’s left of humanity off the planet to a space Colony to survive. As part of the 7^th Airborne Squad, EVE lands on Earth and is immediately thrown into chaos as her unit is decimated and a mysterious individual saves her, taking her to the city of Xion. As the start of the game is extremely fast-paced, having the right gaming equipment will enhance the experience and help you keep up with the action. With so many stunning details put into the game, using the X3100i with low input lag, crisp visuals, deep audio with BenQ CinematicSound technology, and the ability to project a screen up to 150in, your gaming experience will be unmatched.

With a difficulty level inspired by the Dark Souls games, you’ll have to focus on upgrading and managing weapons and supplies frequently. The game provides a thorough menu to manage all this, with multiple cache points to collect and upgrade items. In the image, you can see how everything is categorized and clearly labeled, making it easy to navigate and change your gear with ease. The menu is extremely bright with a dark background for rich contrast and a clear platform to sort through EVE’s suits. The vibrant colors seen here are thanks to the BenQ CinematicColor technology on the X3100i, making it easy to see every crisp detail of her suits and descriptions of the gear.

There are also clear rest points to restore HP and upgrade weapons and supplies. You’ll normally find these in areas before boss battles, but EVE can rest in other locations as well provided there is somewhere accessible for her to sit. Regardless of the area you’re in, the bright red vending machine will stand out on a gaming projector as you make your way through the game. With a larger screen and vibrant colors, there’s no more worrying about missing items, checkpoints, or vending machines as you explore new areas and complete various missions.

Despite the dark creatures that have ravaged the Earth, light shines through and brings subtle beauty to things you may have overlooked before. Use the stunning visuals from the X3100i to motivate your quest to save the planet and restore its former beauty.

The Post-Apocalyptic World

Armed with the Blood Edge blade, EVE battles with quick and strong combo attacks that do extensive damage to enemies. You’ll gain combo options and special attacks early on, including execution blows to enemies you sneak up on. Defensive stances are equally as important though, as enemies move swiftly and with blinding rage and you may need to block or parry their attack. Being able to see every movement your enemy makes is crucial to success in battle, so you’ll need crisp, detailed, 4K visuals that the X3100i gaming projector provides.

During battles, enemies move fast, so you’ll need to move faster. With an input lag as low as 4.16ms and a high refresh rate, you’ll be able to keep up with every movement and act quickly. These high-quality visuals also help you know when you’ve defeated an enemy, as the graphics and drops are just as fast as the battle. In the image to the right, we’ve captured one of the moments where the Naytiba has been defeated and is splattering goop everywhere, something that would be difficult to see clearly on a smaller screen or lower-quality image. The EXP you’ve gained pops up next to the enemy, and EVE will step back as she levels up. All of these minor details add to the immersion of the game, so don’t miss out on and be sure to enjoy every moment on a BenQ gaming projector.

Whether you decide to attack, defend, or dodge, don’t let the Naytiba have the upper hand in battle. Remember to stay aggressive, read your enemies, utilize combos frequently, use supplies as needed, and take advantage of the layout of the environment around you. A large screen, clear visuals, and deep audio are the best choices when it comes to creating an immersive and thrilling gaming experience. Slash your way to victory backed by the ultimate gaming projector from BenQ, the X3100i.

Go Beyond the Story

With a thrilling narrative full of mysteries and revelations, there’s little time to pause between critical story-changing moments following the main quest. Every battle is action-packed and moves quickly, with boss battles providing unique combat challenges to test your skills. However, don’t let these fast-paced battles and scenes take away from the incredible visual experience in this highly detailed post-apocalyptic world. From Xion, to the Wastelands, to the Great Desert and beyond, each area has stunning details that blend the beauty of the planet with the darkness of the destruction. With the BenQ CinematicColor technology, the contrast of the rusting relics and malfunctioning machines blends beautifully with the vibrant plant life and overgrowth.

Earth may seem like a dying planet for humanity, but there is life and beauty everywhere. Plant life continues to grow, winding through buildings, machines, and craters despite the destruction, and water sources remain plentiful. The sun still rises and sets on the land every day, casting the land in a warm hue that reflects off the water and nourishes the plants. EVE, who has never been to Earth before, often pauses and stares in wonder at how well things have survived despite everything she has been told. Experience this beauty through her eyes to the fullest and take in the warm hues of the sunset with a X3100i.

Everything EVE thought she knew has been brought into question, but she stays determined to help the surviving residents of Xion and bring humanity a better future. There are varying ways the game can end, depending on the choices made in crucial moments and the bonds developed with team members Adam and Lily, but regardless of how it ends every moment leading up to it is packed with cinematic cutscenes and action sequences. Designed to enhance these cinematic moments, the X3100i with its true-to-life colors and heart-pounding realism is the ultimate gaming projector to experience Stellar Blade to the fullest.
