Single-player sickos rejoice, PlayStation 5 gets another non live-service game in the form of a Stellar Blade sequel, dropping “before 2027”

In line with a latest Shift Up investor relations presentation, Stellar Blade will probably 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 sport launched in 2024 is getting some extra love (yeah I mentioned it).

This investor relations presentation incorporates a bunch of fascinating info value combing over in case you’re within the well being of the corporate. However for this story we’re involved in slide 19, which shows a timeline of kinds for “IP growth on its approach with excessive visibility”.

On this graph, we will see Stellar Blade represented by its personal part exhibiting that the Stellar Blade IP will probably be getting a “platform growth”, in addition to a bar labelled “sequel”. After this bar is a mysterious entry titled “Undertaking 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 sport, frankly. I rememeber when Undertaking 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 War Ragnarok, I recall being like “Hey, this Undertaking 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 besides.

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 will probably be canon… Tell us how you’re feeling beneath!
