A new Stellar Blade mod now available for download brings significant visual improvements by introducing ray-traced global illumination to the game.

The mod, developed by Atlas813 and now available for download from Nexus Mods, doesn't require any paid shared or third party assets so users don't need anything else other than ReShade to use it. Besides introducing RTGI with proper light bouncing and diffuse lights, the mod introduces ambient light correction, a sharpening effect that only sharpens close objects, among other features that introduce significant visual improvements as highlighted by the comparison screenshots below taken at 1080p resolution, max settings, and NVIDIA DLSS Quality.
