Shift Up has officially confirmed the development of a full-fledged sequel to Stellar Blade. The PlayStation-exclusive action title debuted to favorable reviews in April 2024, drawing favorable comparisons to NieR: Automata and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice for its combat mechanics.
In their latest financial report published today, the Korean developer included a strategic roadmap revealing plans for the Stellar Blade sequel. This announcement came alongside other major projects scheduled for release before 2027.
The company's presentation slides outline an upcoming "platform expansion" for Stellar Blade, likely referring to the confirmed PC version launching June 11, 2025. This precedes the sequel's development cycle that will run alongside Shift Up's mysterious Project Witches - a newly announced multiplatform action RPG.
Earlier this week, Shift Up acknowledged ongoing discussions with Sony regarding unexplained regional restrictions that blocked Steam store page access in over 100 countries.
IGN's review praised Stellar Blade as "a visually stunning action game with brilliant combat fundamentals inspired by Sekiro's parry-heavy system, offset by some underdeveloped RPG elements." The critique noted its combat excellence helps compensate for weaker narrative execution and repetitive side quests that often involve backtracking through familiar environments with minimal new rewards or variations.
