Sooner Than We Think?
During Shift Up's IPO press conference on June 25, CFO Ahn Jae-woo expressed the company's interest in a PC version of Stellar Blade. He noted that it could be an excellent opportunity to further monetize the IP, especially considering the current distribution landscape of the PS5 and the shift of AAA game consumers to PCs. This insight was reported by GameMeca and translated by Game8.
CEO Kim Hyung-Tae further elaborated that while they are actively reviewing a PC version, they are unable to disclose a tentative release date due to contractual obligations. This aligns with the company’s public filings, which mention considerations for both a PC release and a sequel for the successful IP.
Kim also shared the company's vision behind Stellar Blade, aiming to create a high-value IP that would build a global fanbase. He emphasized avoiding elements like microtransactions that could detract from the brand's integrity, with plans to communicate this commitment clearly to fans.
Future Updates and Collaborations Are Imminent!
Stellar Blade's roadmap for updates and DLC is packed with exciting content. Fans can look forward to a Photo Mode in August, new costumes by October, and a major collaboration to be unveiled later in the year.
Regarding the collaboration with Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, Kim expressed optimism about creating synergistic opportunities between the IPs, promising positive results soon.
