Shift Up will self-publish Stellar Blade 2

While Stellar Blade began life as a PlayStation exclusive IP, the studio at Shift Up has been working towards making the game multiplatform for quite some time. Now for the sequel, Shift Up has confirmed plans to self-publish, rather than renew its deal with Sony. 

As part of an earnings report this month, Shift Up confirmed that development on the next Stellar Blade game has begun and that moving forward, the studio will “transition to a first-party service model”.

The aim of this transition is to get to a point where Shift Up can ship its future games across multiple platforms at launch. That should mean that Stellar Blade 2 lands on PC on day-one, and the sequel may end up appearing on Xbox and Nintendo Switch consoles as well.

KitGuru Says: Did any of you play Stellar Blade when it landed on PS5 or PC? Do you think the sequel should be a day-one game on Steam?
