In line with a latest Shift Up investor relations presentation, Stellar Blade can 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 the very best motion recreation launched in 2024 is getting some extra love (yeah I mentioned it).
This investor relations presentation incorporates a bunch of fascinating data price combing over when you’re within the well being of the corporate. However for this story we’re keen on slide 19, which shows a timeline of types for “IP enlargement on its method with excessive visibility”.
On this graph, we are able to see Stellar Blade represented by its personal part exhibiting that the Stellar Blade IP can be getting a “platform enlargement”, 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 Battle 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 12 months, however include a frankly supurb soundtrack as well.
It is secure to say I am excited for Stellar Blade’s sequel to return out, however what about you? Are you excited to seek out out what Eve’s been as much as? I ponder which ending can be canon… Tell us how you are feeling beneath!
