A PC Release Sooner Than Expected?

During Shift Up's IPO press conference on June 25th, CFO Ahn Jae-woo revealed the company's intention to develop a PC version of Stellar Blade. He highlighted the potential for further monetization and the shift in the AAA gaming market towards PC dominance. While acknowledging the PS5's current market position, he emphasized the growing PC player base.

Shift Up's CEO, Kim Hyung-Tae, corroborated this, confirming the PC version is under review but refraining from providing a release date due to contractual obligations. This aligns with the company's public filings indicating plans for both a PC release and a potential sequel.

Kim also emphasized the company's focus on building a strong IP, avoiding potentially harmful microtransactions, and fostering a dedicated fanbase.

Future Updates and Collaborations on the Way!

Beyond the PC port, Shift Up has outlined a robust roadmap for Stellar Blade, including:

• August: Highly anticipated Photo Mode.
• October: New costumes.
• A major collaboration to be announced later in the year.

Regarding the recent collaboration with Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, Kim expressed optimism about creating positive synergy between the two IPs.

The game achieved #1 ranking in numerous PS5 exclusive charts across 60 different stores in major markets like the US and UK. Furthermore, it boasts a Metacritic score of 9.2, earning "Universal Acclaim" and setting a new high for PS5 exclusives.
