Shift Up, the developer behind the popular Stellar Blade, has unveiled its roadmap for upcoming updates and future plans. The game's success, with over a million copies sold, has fueled optimism and ambitious goals.

While recent updates have focused on performance improvements and quality-of-life enhancements, Shift Up has outlined several exciting additions:

Stellar Blade Update Roadmap:

• Photo Mode: Expected around August.
• New Skins: Planned for release after October.
• Major Collaboration: A significant collaboration is scheduled for late 2024. Speculation points towards a Nier collaboration, given the positive relationship between the game directors and Stellar Blade's clear inspiration from Nier: Automata.
• Sequel Confirmed: A sequel is in development.
• Paid DLC Under Consideration: The possibility of paid DLC is being explored.

Shift Up CFO Ahn Jae-woo also confirmed ongoing preparations for the PC release of Stellar Blade. He expressed satisfaction with the game's sales, citing the impressive milestone of over one million units sold, and referencing the sales trajectories of successful titles like Ghost of Tsushima and Detroit: Become Human as potential benchmarks.

While a sequel is confirmed, detailed information regarding its development and the paid DLC remains scarce. The developer is currently prioritizing the immediate updates outlined in the roadmap, suggesting further announcements may be some time away. However, the current roadmap offers plenty for fans to anticipate.
