Based on a latest Shift Up investor relations presentation, Stellar Blade can be getting a sequel “earlier than 2027”. One assumes that most likely means 2026. No matter the way it’s framed, it is fantastic information, because it means the most effective motion recreation launched in 2024 is getting some extra love (yeah I mentioned it).
This investor relations presentation incorporates a bunch of attention-grabbing info value combing over should you’re within the well being of the corporate. However for this story we’re fascinated with slide 19, which shows a timeline of kinds for “IP enlargement on its method with excessive visibility”.
On this graph, we are able to see Stellar Blade represented by its personal part exhibiting that the Stellar Blade IP can be getting a “platform enlargement”, in addition to a bar labelled “sequel”. After this bar is a mysterious entry titled “Undertaking Witches”, which seems to be a brand new IP Shift Up is engaged on. All earlier than 2027, so it seems just like the continued success of Nikke and Stellar Blade’s stellar efficiency is conserving the developer busy.
It could not have occurred to a greater recreation, frankly. I rememeber when Undertaking Eve was first proven off throughout a Sony State of Play again in 2022, and whereas everybody was being boring and cheering about God of War Ragnarok, I recall being like “Hey, this Undertaking Eve factor seems cool, I am keen to listen to extra”. Little did I do know it would not solely be a shock hit final 12 months, however include a frankly supurb soundtrack besides.
It is protected to say I am excited for Stellar Blade’s sequel to come back out, however what about you? Are you excited to search out out what Eve’s been as much as? I’m wondering which ending can be canon… Tell us how you’re feeling beneath!
