Shift Up, the developer behind the immensely popular Stellar Blade, has hinted at a potential PC release! Executives recently revealed their intentions to explore a PC version, eyeing it as a lucrative avenue for further monetization of this successful IP. This follows the company's observation of the shifting gaming landscape, with a growing AAA player base migrating from consoles to PCs.
While a firm release date remains unannounced due to contractual obligations, the company's public filings confirm active consideration of a PC port and even a potential sequel. CEO Kim Hyung-Tae emphasized their commitment to fostering a strong brand identity and cultivating a dedicated fanbase, avoiding potentially detrimental practices like aggressive microtransactions.
Beyond the PC port, exciting updates and collaborations are on the horizon. A detailed roadmap includes a highly anticipated Photo Mode in August, new costumes in October, and a major, yet-to-be-announced collaboration later this year. The successful collaboration with Goddess of Victory: NIKKE hints at more synergistic partnerships to come.
Stellar Blade's remarkable success is undeniable, with approximately one million copies sold globally within just two months of its release. Its PS5 exclusivity propelled it to the top of sales charts in numerous markets, including the US and UK, and garnered a remarkable 9.2/10 Metacritic score, earning "Universal Acclaim." This phenomenal reception further fuels anticipation for the potential PC release and future content.
