Stellar Blade Digital Deluxe Edition Bonuses
While all pre-orders ofStellar Bladewill receive the Planet Diving Suit costume for EVE, as well as a pair of earrings and glasses, the Digital Deluxe edition nets players more in exchange for its higher price tag.

The Digital Deluxe Edition even has cosmetic items for supporting characters.EVE’s companions Adam and Lilywill be able to don the Stargazer Wear outfits, and the team’s drone will gain the Stargazer Pack.
