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 shared that the company is actively exploring a PC version of Stellar Blade. He believes this move would be an excellent way to further monetize the IP, especially considering the current distribution of PS5 consoles and the shift of AAA game consumers towards PCs. This insight was reported by GameMeca and translated by Game8.
Additionally, CEO Kim Hyung-Tae confirmed that the company is reviewing the possibility of a PC release for Stellar Blade. However, due to contractual obligations, he couldn't provide a specific timeline. This aligns with the company's public filings, which mention considerations for both a PC release and a sequel to the successful IP.
Kim emphasized that the goal behind creating Stellar Blade was to build a high-value IP that would help establish a global fanbase. To achieve this, they deliberately avoided microtransactions to protect the brand's integrity, aiming to communicate this commitment clearly to their fans.
Future Updates and Collaborations Are Imminent!
Stellar Blade's roadmap includes several exciting updates throughout the year. Fans can look forward to a Photo Mode in August, new costumes in October, and a major collaboration to be announced later this year.
Regarding the collaboration with Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, Kim expressed optimism about creating positive synergy between the IPs, promising good results in the near future.
