Upcoming action-adventure game Stellar Blade will be distributed and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment as developer Shift Up enters a second-party partner agreement, according to Korean gaming outlet Game Chosun. Shift Up will be Sony’s first second-party partner in South Korea.
In Stellar Blade, Paratrooper Eve fights to reclaim the Earth for humanity after NA:tive, a strange race of creatures, ravaged much of the land. The remaining vestiges of the human race fled to a Colony in outer space to recoup and prepare for their most important mission. As Eve, players will slash their way through enemies with an enticing progression system that gives her more powerful combos and moves.
Stellar Blade and Sony Agreement
Worldwide audiences will be able to experience Stellar Blade on PlayStation 5 when it releases according to Game Chosun. As a second-party partner, Shift Up’s new title will be published by Sony and likely receive a major marketing push. A release date has not been announced, however.
