Stellar Blade devs reveal plans for DLC and possible sequel SHIFT-UPKorean developer SHIFT-UP says it\u2019s considering a PC version of Stellar Blade, as well as a possible sequel to the highly acclaimed AAA title. The news of a possible Stellar Blade sequel comes from a public filing with the Korea Composite Stock Price Index in May 2024. In the filing, SHIFT-UP expressed interest in developing a PC version of the game, saying it wants to focus on developing its own unique IPs. That\u2019s not all; the company also revealed that they\u2019re currently working on a new IP called Project Witches, which they plan to launch in 2027. \u201cBeyond Stellar Blade, we are developing a new [intellectual property]-based game, Project Witches, for release in 2027 or later, and are considering a PC version of Stellar Blade and a sequel,\u201d the filing reads, as per Gematsu. \u201cWe believe that our ability to develop new [intellectual properties] that can be successful without relying on existing [intellectual properties] will enable us to grow sustainably compared to other game companies that are locked into existing [intellectual properties].\u201d Stellar Blade fans have even more to be excited about, as SHIFT-UP also mentioned the possibility of DLC for the game, including collaborations with other IPs. \u201cFor Stellar Blade, we have plans to introduce new gameplay elements, including downloadable content releases, a PC version, and new [intellectual property] collaborations,\u201d the statement reads. Interestingly, the filing also references titles like God of War and Final Fantasy as examples of franchises that have maintained longevity by releasing \u201chigh-quality sequels and maintaining a long-term monetization base,\u201d providing an argument for SHIFT-UP to make a sequel and create its own iconic series. SHIFT-UP\u2019s upcoming new IP, Project Witches, will feature crossplay across PC, consoles, and mobile devices. The filing describes Witches as a \u201cnext-generation mega subculture [intellectual property] that will surpass Goddess of Victory: NIKKE.\u201d Witches is an anime-style, AAA title with an urban, sci-fi setting. It\u2019s set to be another action RPG, and another original IP that SHIFT-UP hopes to debut in its ongoing plans to emerge as a major gaming powerhouse amongst the competition. Stellar Blade has proven to be a major hit with gamers, winning PlayStation\u2019s Players\u2019 Choice Poll for April 2024 and entering as a possible Game of the Year contender, marking a strong first impression for the studio\u2019s first-ever AAA offering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
