In accordance with a current Shift Up investor relations presentation, Stellar Blade will likely be getting a sequel “earlier than 2027”. One assumes that in all probability means 2026. No matter the way it’s framed, it is great information, because it means one of the best motion recreation launched in 2024 is getting some extra love (yeah I mentioned it).
This investor relations presentation comprises a bunch of fascinating data value combing over for those who’re within the well being of the corporate. However for this story we’re occupied with slide 19, which shows a timeline of types for “IP growth on its method with excessive visibility”.
On this graph, we will see Stellar Blade represented by its personal part displaying that the Stellar Blade IP will likely be getting a “platform growth”, in addition to a bar labelled “sequel”. After this bar is a mysterious entry titled “Venture Witches”, which appears to be like to be a brand new IP Shift Up is engaged on. All earlier than 2027, so it appears to be like just like the continued success of Nikke and Stellar Blade’s stellar efficiency is retaining the developer busy.
It could not have occurred to a greater recreation, frankly. I rememeber when Venture Eve was first proven off throughout a Sony State of Play again in 2022, and whereas everybody was being boring and cheering about God of Conflict Ragnarok, I recall being like “Hey, this Venture Eve factor appears to be like cool, I am keen to listen to extra”. Little did I do know it would not solely be a shock hit final yr, however include a frankly supurb soundtrack besides.
It is protected to say I am excited for Stellar Blade’s sequel to come back out, however what about you? Are you excited to search out out what Eve’s been as much as? I ponder which ending will likely be canon… Tell us how you are feeling under!
