Shift Up will self-publish Stellar Blade 2

Matthew Wilson 3 weeks ago Software & Gaming

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?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
