Shift Up will become the publisher of “Stellar Blade 2” – a sequel announcement is already on the horizon.

Shift Up Reveals Details of the “Stellar Blade 2” Launch

South Korean company Shift Up clarified in its first‑quarter 2026 financial report how and when it will promote the sequel to the popular post‑apocalyptic action game *Stellar Blade*.

- Release Calendar

Earlier, Shift Up announced plans to release the continuation in 2027. The report now states that the game is slated for market entry by the end of 2026. Development is progressing on schedule and meets the studio’s internal quality standards.

- Publisher

Unlike the first part, which was published by Sony Interactive Entertainment (PlayStation), *Stellar Blade 2* will be released independently by Shift Up. This allows the company to develop marketing strategies that fully reflect the game's universe and more effectively attract players.

- Original Sales

Demand for the first installment remains steady thanks to sales promotions. Ahead of the sequel, the company plans to boost brand recognition through crossovers with other franchises.

- Other Shift Up Projects

The studio continues work on its debut title developed by Japanese team Unbound Games under the direction of renowned *Resident Evil* creator Shinji Mikami (*Dino Crisis* and *The Evil Within*). Shift Up will publish the game.

Thus, Shift Up is preparing to release the second volume of *Stellar Blade* in 2026, taking on the role of publisher and planning an active marketing campaign.
