2024 action game Stellar Blade sauntered into 2025 as one of the most popular PlayStation games ever, but Rebecca Hanssen – who provided the English voice of its protagonist, the sultry soldier Eve – had no idea it would have this much staying power.
Hanssen tells GamesRadar+ during the Golden Joystick Awards 2025 that Stellar Blade’s ongoing success is “surreal.” One week before its launch on Steam this year, for example, the game from developer Shift Up managed to reach the number-three Top Sellers spot, behind the immovable Counter-Strike 2 and Elden Ring Nightreign.
“I don’t think – in fact, I know that – when I was recording it, I had no idea how big it was going to become,” Hanssen says of the game. “It’s totally wowed me and continues to.”
The post-apocalyptic action game is the embodiment of PS2 cool, with its own hack-and-slash style carried out by android soldiers – and it helps that these assassins are supernaturally beautiful, so that loyal fans have something to really worship.
