Shift Up Eyes Wider Release for Stellar Blade

In its recent quarterly earnings release and Q&A, Shift Up wrote that it is ‘actively exploring further platform expansion’ for the original Stellar Blade while developing the sequel. The company plans to self-publish the next title rather than partner with Sony Interactive Entertainment, citing a goal to maximize the sequel’s global release and enable distribution across multiple formats.

The filing did not name specific platforms or give a timeline for ports of the first game. The document described the effort as exploratory, indicating discussions or internal planning rather than a firm commitment. No technical details, platform partners or regional plans were provided.

Stellar Blade launched on PlayStation 5 and PC. The game drew attention for its combat and production values. Shift Up reiterated that development of the sequel is ongoing and did not provide a release date or sales figures.

The company did not disclose whether self-publishing will affect features, multiplayer options or post-launch support.
