Stellar Blade Sequel Confirmed by Developer

If you're a fan of action-packed games, you might already know about Stellar Blade—a visually stunning title published by PlayStation that drew praise upon its release in April 2024. Combining elements from *NieR: Automata* and *Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice*, it quickly found a niche among gamers who appreciated its blend of intense combat and exploration.

Recently, developer Shift Up confirmed that a fully-fledged sequel to Stellar Blade is on the horizon. The news surfaced in a financial report shared today, where the studio outlined its future plans through a detailed roadmap. Among the projects listed, the Stellar Blade sequel is marked to arrive next, with additional releases scheduled before 2027.

In the meantime, Stellar Blade fans can look forward to a platform expansion, which hints at the game’s upcoming PC version launching on June 11, 2025. This expansion follows recent discussions between Shift Up and Sony regarding a PC region lock issue that temporarily affected Stellar Blade's availability on platforms like Steam.

While Stellar Blade received critical acclaim for its combat mechanics, IGN noted that the game struggled with underdeveloped storytelling and repetitive side quests. Despite these shortcomings, the game's core mechanics shone brightly, offering a rewarding experience for those who delved into its world.

Before the sequel hits, Shift Up is also teasing another project titled Project Witches. Details remain scarce, but the game promises to bring a fresh take to the action RPG genre when it eventually launches.
