Level Infinite, Tencent’s global publishing brand, has announced that it will publish the new Project Spirits game by SHIFT UP. The publishing agreement between Level Infinite and SHIFT UP involves both publishing and joint development of Project Spirits, which is planned to release as a cross-platform title.
Project Spirits is a cross-platform game for PC, consoles, and mobile developed on Unreal Engine 5 with a co-development collaboration between SHIFT UP and Tencent’s affiliate, Yongxing Interactive. Previously, Level Infinite and SHIFT UP teamed up to release Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, which proved to be a very successful title worldwide.
SHIFT UP has also begun large-scale recruitment for development of the upcoming Stellar Blade sequel, which is described as a “AAA multi-platform action game” for consoles and PC in the company’s news release. The Stellar Blade sequel inherits the stylish combat and narrative-driven world of the original game, and SHIFT UP is hiring staff to bring its development plans to fruition.
SHIFT UP plans to release the Stellar Blade sequel and the new Project Spirits game by 2027. The two games are part of an IP expansion plan for SHIFT UP, which includes Goddess of Victory: NIKKE and “platform expansion” for Stellar Blade. Lastly, the Stellar Blade Complete Edition is also available featuring the digital game, Twin Expansion Pack featuring the NieR: Automata DLC and Goddess of Victory: NIKKE DLC, a Goddess of Victory: NIKKE CD-key for a Stellar Blade costume in the mobile game, Fluffy Bear Pack drone cosmetics, and Planet Diving Suit (Captain) for Eve.
