SHIFT UP published its Q4 2025 earnings report, revealing some interesting details about development of the Stellar Blade sequel. According to SHIFT UP, development of the Stellar Blade sequel is progressing in a structured manner, and the team is reviewing plans to share more details within 2026.
Further, SHIFT UP is “reviewing platform expansion beyond PS5 and PC to broaden audience reach” for the original Stellar Blade game. SHIFT UP wants to introduce the game to new players and build anticipation to the “next phase of the Stellar Blade franchise.”
SHIFT UP plans to release the Stellar Blade sequel and the new Project Spirits action RPG by 2027. The two games are part of an IP expansion plan for SHIFT UP, which includes Goddess of Victory: NIKKE and the “platform expansion” for Stellar Blade.
Stellar Blade is available now for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. The game quickly surpassed 3 million copies sold, just five days after the release of the PC version on June 11. To celebrate, SHIFT UP gifted Nintendo Switch 2 units to approximately 300 employees, causing speculation regarding a potential Switch 2 version of Stellar Blade. SHIFT UP has not officially confirmed a Switch 2 version, however.
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.
