The developer behind Stellar Blade has officially confirmed that a sequel to the popular third-person action game is in development. Released by Shift Up exclusively for the PlayStation 5 in 2024, Stellar Blade quickly became a massive success, selling over a million units within its first two months.
The game’s rapid success made it Shift Up’s biggest hit to date, fueling the studio’s growth, including a successful Initial Public Offering (IPO) that raised approximately $320 million from investors. This financial boost appears to have paved the way for new projects, including a highly anticipated Stellar Blade sequel.
According to a recent company presentation (via Insider Gaming), Shift Up is currently working on multiple projects. Among them, a “platform expansion” and the Stellar Blade sequel are scheduled for release before 2027. This timeline suggests that fans can potentially expect Stellar Blade 2 as early as 2026.
Although specific plot details and gameplay features of the sequel remain under wraps, this confirmation reassures fans that the story and stunning visuals of the game will continue to evolve. Alongside the sequel, Shift Up is also developing a new action title codenamed “Project Witches,” indicating a busy and ambitious future for the studio.
With the sequel already progressing smoothly, Stellar Blade 2 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting upcoming titles for PlayStation fans and action RPG enthusiasts alike. Stay tuned for further updates as Shift Up prepares to expand the universe of Stellar Blade.
