Stellar Blade Execs Looking to Release on PC --------------------------------------------

Sooner Than We Think?

During Shift Up's IPO press conference on June 25, CFO Ahn Jae-woo revealed that the company is actively exploring a PC version of Stellar Blade. He believes this move would be an excellent opportunity to further monetize the IP, especially considering the current PS5 distribution and the shifting consumer base towards PCs for AAA games. This insight was reported by GameMeca and translated by Game8.

Additionally, CEO Kim Hyung-Tae confirmed that the company is reviewing the PC version of Stellar Blade but could not provide a specific release timeline due to existing contractual obligations. This aligns with Shift Up's public filing, which mentions considerations for a PC release and a sequel to expand on the successful IP.

Kim emphasized that the development of Stellar Blade was driven by the goal of creating a high-value IP to build global branding and foster a dedicated fanbase. To maintain the integrity of the brand, they consciously avoided incorporating microtransactions, a decision they plan to communicate effectively to their fans.

Future Updates and Collaborations Are Imminent!

The excitement doesn't end with the potential PC release. Stellar Blade is set to receive several updates throughout the year, including the much-anticipated Photo Mode in August, new costumes in October, and a major collaboration to be announced later this year.

Regarding the recent collaboration announcement with Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, Kim expressed optimism about creating positive synergy between the IPs, promising fans that they will soon see the fruits of these efforts.

Sold About One Million Copies Worldwide!

Stellar Blade has emerged as one of the year's biggest surprises, selling approximately one million copies worldwide within just two months of its release. As a PS5 exclusive, it has topped sales charts in major markets like the US and UK, ranking first in sixty different stores since its launch in late April.
