Stellar Blade launched last year to a wave of success – receiving high praise across the board and selling a ton of copies to boot. With the PS5 exclusive set to arrive on PC next month, the team have already confirmed that a sequel is in works; currently planned to release some time in 2027.
As part of the company’s latest investor relations meeting, Stellar Blade creators SHIFT UP spoke on the ongoing success of their new IP, making note of its commercial and critical performance.
In discussing the future of the studio and its IPs, SHIFT UP revealed that beyond the impending ‘platform expansion’ to PC, Stellar Blade is set to receive a sequel as well.
Though little else was shared regarding their plans, the chart they released seems to indicate that they hope for the sequel to arrive by 2027 – a pretty fast turnaround for a game of its scale in today’s market.
Of course, this is just an early plan, with most video game projects encountering some level of setbacks throughout development.
Even so, while the team have previously spoken on the notion of a Stellar Blade sequel, this marks the first time that the company has officially committed to such a plan. Hopefully the expected success of the PC release helps to bolster development on the sequel further. We will have to wait and see.
