During Shift Up's IPO press conference on June 25th, CFO Ahn Jae-woo revealed the company's interest in a PC version of Stellar Blade, citing it as a significant monetization opportunity. This decision considers the current PS5 market saturation and the growing shift of AAA game players towards PC platforms.
Shift Up's CEO, Kim Hyung-Tae, confirmed the PC version is under review, although a release date remains unconfirmed due to contractual obligations. This aligns with the company's public filings indicating plans for a PC release and a potential sequel. Kim emphasized the company's focus on building a high-value IP and cultivating a global fanbase, avoiding potentially harmful microtransactions.
Future Updates and Collaborations on the Way!
Beyond the PC port, Stellar Blade has a packed update schedule. This includes a highly anticipated Photo Mode in August, new costumes in October, and a major collaboration later this year. The collaboration with Goddess of Victory: NIKKE is currently under review, with the expectation of positive synergy between the two IPs.
