What a Stellar Blade rug can show

Stellar Blade is a game of places as much as fights: a ruined city swallowed by green, the last human settlement glowing with lanterns, and a desert of half-buried towers under a white sun. Those landscapes are what make the best Stellar Blade rugs, along with smaller details fans love, the little drone that floats at EVE's shoulder and the soda cans hidden all over the world. Our rugs are printed into short velvet, so neon, rust and sand come out with depth, and they go in the washing machine.

Its ruined, overgrown cities and sleek sci-fi look give the game strong designs for a gaming room.

The game

Stellar Blade was developed by the South Korean studio Shift Up, led by artist and director Kim Hyung-tae, and released by Sony for PlayStation 5 on April 26, 2024, with a PC version following in June 2025. It follows EVE, a soldier of the 7th Airborne Squad, sent down from humanity's colony in space to take Earth back from the Naytiba, monstrous creatures that overran the planet. Its combat is built around precise parries, dodges and counters, closer to a character-action game than an open-world one, and players praised its speed, its bosses and its soundtrack.

The descent

The game opens with the squad's drop to Earth: pods falling through the atmosphere, a beach turned into a battlefield and a squad lost almost at once. It's a striking image, small capsules streaking toward a burning shoreline under a dark sky, and it makes a dramatic, cinematic rug for a setup. For fans of space-to-Earth stories, our space rugs have more.

Eidos 7

EVE's first city is Eidos 7, a modern metropolis left to rot: collapsed highways, flooded subways, vines climbing glass towers and abandoned cars rusting in the streets. Its mix of concrete grey and fresh green is one of the game's most memorable looks, the beauty of a city that nature is quietly reclaiming. An Eidos 7 design suits a modern living room as well as a game room, because it reads as post-apocalyptic landscape art more than as a game scene.

Xion, the last city

Xion is the heart of the game: the last human city on Earth, a crowded settlement of stalls, lanterns, cables and hand-painted signs, led by the elder Orcal. It's where EVE rests, takes side quests, buys gear and listens to the city's music. At night, with warm lanterns glowing over its streets, Xion is the coziest place in a dangerous world.

A Xion night-market design, warm lights and crowded rooftops, is the most inviting Stellar Blade rug, perfect for a reading corner or a bedroom with soft lighting. It suits fans of cyberpunk and Asian street-market aesthetics as much as players.

The wastes

Beyond the cities lie vast deserts: dunes of white sand, half-buried skyscrapers, ancient machines and storms that blot out the sun. The open Wasteland and the Great Desert are where EVE travels farthest. A desert design, a lone figure walking toward a buried tower under a bleached sky, is a calm, minimal rug in sand, bone and pale blue, beautiful in a light, sparse room.

The drone

EVE never travels alone: a small drone floats at her shoulder, scanning the area, lighting dark corridors and, as it's upgraded, firing in battle. It's built and improved by Lily, the engineer who joins EVE and her ally Adam. A drone design, the little machine hovering on a dark background with its light on, is a sweet, understated rug, and a great choice for a desk area where a full scene would be too busy.

Collectible cans

Hidden all over the world are soda cans, each with its own label design, and collecting all of them is one of the game's favorite side quests. They've become a small fan obsession. A can-collection design, rows of colorful labels on a white or black ground, is a fun, graphic rug that reads like a pop-art print, and it makes a playful rug for a kitchen, a snack corner or a room with a real drinks fridge.

Camps and vending machines

Every camp in the game, a place to rest, save, change outfits and shop, has a vending machine glowing in the dark. For players, finding a camp after a hard fight is pure relief, like a bonfire or a safe room in other games. A camp design, a vending machine and a bedroll under a ruined overpass, captures the quiet moments of the game, a gentle rug for a bedroom.

Parry, Burst and Tachy

Stellar Blade's combat rewards timing: perfect parries, dodges that slow time, Beta skills, Burst attacks and the transforming Tachy Mode, where EVE's power surges. The flash of a perfect parry, a bright line of light against a dark ground, is the essence of the game. An abstract parry design, blades of light crossing on black, is a bold, graphic rug that suits a modern setup and doesn't need any explanation to look good.

The Naytiba

The Naytiba are the monsters EVE fights, grotesque, biomechanical creatures of every size, from crawling grunts to towering Alpha and Elder Naytiba bosses. Their designs are unsettling and intricate. A Naytiba silhouette, a hulking shape against a red sky, suits a dark game room, but for shared spaces, the cities, the deserts, the drone and the cans are better choices.

A note on the content

Stellar Blade is rated M for Mature, with intense violence, gore and revealing costumes. For a room children use, choose the landscapes, the drone, the camps or the cans. Our designs focus on the world of the game rather than on EVE's costumes.

The soundtrack

Stellar Blade's soundtrack, full of vocal songs that drift through Xion's streets and swell over the deserts during long walks, was one of the most praised parts of the game, and many players keep listening to it long after the credits. A Xion rug in a music corner, beside a speaker, a turntable or a pair of good headphones on a stand, is a fitting way to bring that sound home. Pair it with warm, amber lighting and the room feels like a corner of the last city.

Photo mode

A photo mode added after launch turned many players into virtual photographers, framing the game's landscapes at sunset or under the stars. If you've taken a screenshot you love, of Xion at dusk, a desert storm or the ruins of Eidos 7, our custom rugs can print it in any size up to 5′11″ × 10′. Please only send images you're allowed to use.

Shift Up's style

Shift Up is also known for the mobile game Goddess of Victory: Nikke, and Kim Hyung-tae's art has a long following from earlier games. Stellar Blade's world blends Korean, cyberpunk and post-apocalyptic influences, with sharp, polished designs and a bold color palette. Fans who love that style may also enjoy our anime and manga rugs.

A shelf of action games

Stellar Blade often sits beside other stylish action games in fans' collections. If you also love NieR, which shares its mood of ruined cities and lonely heroes, or God of War and Final Fantasy, you'll find their pages too. For neon city designs, see our cyberpunk rugs.

Colors and rooms

Stellar Blade's palette moves from place to place: Eidos 7's concrete and green, Xion's warm lantern amber, the deserts' sand and white, and the electric blue and red of combat. A Xion design brings warmth to a dark room; a desert design brings light to a pale one; an abstract parry design suits a black-and-RGB setup.

Sizes and levels

The drone or a single can suits a 3.3 to 4.6 ft (100 to 140 cm) round rug. Xion, Eidos 7 or the desert suits a rectangle, 4×6 or 5×7 ft, where the landscape has room to breathe. Under a gaming chair, choose Standard in 3.3×5 or 4×6 ft: its 5 mm crushed velvet on a non-slip faux leather back stays put through the hardest boss and lets wheels roll freely. For a softer rug in a lounge, choose Premium, 7 mm plush velvet on a bamboo and cotton back. See our gaming rugs for more.

Gifts

A Stellar Blade rug is a great gift for a PS5 or PC action fan, a perfectionist who collected every can or a player who mastered every parry. If you aren't sure which design to choose, Xion at night or the drone are the safest. Every rug is printed to order in 1–3 business days and ships from Turkey; US delivery usually takes 2–5 business days after that.

Care

Machine wash on a gentle, cold cycle and let it air dry flat. Vacuum on a low setting between washes. The design is printed into the fibers, so Xion's lanterns stay bright, wash after wash.

A note on the game

Lily and Adam

EVE doesn't explore alone. Lily, a skilled engineer who upgrades EVE's drone and gear, and Adam, a scavenger and pilot who knows the wastes, become her closest companions. A rug of a workbench with Lily's tools and drone parts, or Adam's battered airship over the dunes, is a quieter, companion-focused design for players who loved the crew as much as the combat.
