- Shift Up has confirmed that the next Stellar Blade game has entered development.
- The studio is now actively mass-recruiting developers to work on the sequel.
- The original game was critically received and was a big commercial hit as well.
Stellar Blade was released last year to an immensely positive response from both the critics and the audience. It has been monumental for the Korean studios, and the studio is already starting work on the next installment.
Shift Up Entertainment has announced that it is conducting large-scale open recruitment as the next Stellar Blade game enters development. There are currently over 10 positions available for applicants.
Why it matters: Stellar Blade was a massive hit and a revolutionary title for Asian developers. The sequel aims to broaden the scope, and fans will be hoping for an even grander experience than before.
On its official website, Shift Up has revealed that the development of the next Stellar Blade is set to begin. The original Stellar Blade was a timed-exclusive for the PS5, but the new one will be multiplatform at launch.
Although the report doesn’t mention many details about the next entry, it does state that it’ll be a ‘AAA multiplatform action game aiming for release on various platforms, including consoles and PC’, clearly suggesting the new approach.
The studio further states that the game will inherit the original’s stylish action and narrative-driven style, but will be evolved in every way. It also doesn’t explicitly say that it’ll be a sequel, instead calling it the ‘next installment’
Nonetheless, the original Stellar Blade is still quite fresh and fun, and considering the formal development is only now beginning, the sequel could be years away, as the original took a total of 5 years to develop.
