In accordance with a current Shift Up investor relations presentation, Stellar Blade will likely be getting a sequel “earlier than 2027”. One assumes that in all probability means 2026. No matter the way it’s framed, it is great information, because it means the most effective motion recreation launched in 2024 is getting some extra love (yeah I stated it).
This investor relations presentation accommodates a bunch of attention-grabbing data value combing over when you’re within the well being of the corporate. However for this story we’re fascinated about slide 19, which shows a timeline of kinds for “IP growth on its method with excessive visibility”.
On this graph, we will see Stellar Blade represented by its personal part displaying that the Stellar Blade IP will likely be getting a “platform growth”, 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 holding 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 in addition.
It is protected 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 likely be canon… Tell us how you’re feeling beneath!
