The most reliable leaker of all time has done it again. Sony accidentally released the Stellar Blade demo ahead of time. And as you might have guessed, it's already being praised for certain...reasons.

Stellar Blade Demo Leaked

Stellar Blade is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by Shift Up and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game was first announced back in 2019 by Korean studio Shift Up and is scheduled to fully release for PlayStation 5 on April 26. But with so many people who have already gotten a glimpse of the game, they might as well release it now.

On March 8, Sony accidentally dropped the games' demo version on the PlayStation store, making it available to thousands of players. Although the game was removed immediately after that, many people have already seen it.

Small release blunders actually happen more often in the gaming industry than you might think. Although mistakes are natural and will always happen, you still wonder if the whole incident could just be part of a marketing strategy to get the title a little more media attention before release.

You can never be sure, but a slip-up like this from a corporation like Sony... seems a little sus, but I wouldn't blame them.
