In accordance with a current Shift Up investor relations presentation, Stellar Blade will probably 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 perfect motion sport launched in 2024 is getting some extra love (yeah I stated it).
This investor relations presentation incorporates a bunch of fascinating data price combing over when you’re within the well being of the corporate. However for this story we’re inquisitive about slide 19, which shows a timeline of kinds for “IP growth on its means with excessive visibility”.
On this graph, we are able to see Stellar Blade represented by its personal part displaying that the Stellar Blade IP will probably be getting a “platform growth”, in addition to a bar labelled “sequel”. After this bar is a mysterious entry titled “Undertaking Witches”, which appears to be a brand new IP Shift Up is engaged on. All earlier than 2027, so it appears just like the continued success of Nikke and Stellar Blade’s stellar efficiency is maintaining the developer busy.
It could not have occurred to a greater sport, 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 Battle Ragnarok, I recall being like “Hey, this Undertaking Eve factor appears cool, I am keen to listen to extra”. Little did I do know it would not solely be a shock hit final yr, however include a frankly supurb soundtrack in addition.
It is secure to say I am excited for Stellar Blade’s sequel to return out, however what about you? Are you excited to seek out out what Eve’s been as much as? I’m wondering which ending will probably be canon… Tell us how you are feeling beneath!
