Stellar Blade's Stellar Year

by Hazel Feb 23,2025

Shift Up, the developer behind Stellar Blade, has announced record-breaking financial results for 2024. Stellar Blade generated $43 million in royalties, and the upcoming PC release is projected to surpass PlayStation 5 sales.

Game World Observer reported Shift Up's 2024 financial report, showcasing a 30.4% year-over-year revenue increase, reaching $151.4 million. A significant portion, $43.2 million, stemmed directly from Stellar Blade royalties.

The company anticipates continued success, predicting stronger PC sales than the console version, particularly within the Asian gaming market. While a Stellar Blade sequel remains under consideration, Shift Up will unveil its new title, Project Witches, in the first half of 2025.

Project Witches, revealed in 2024 shortly after Stellar Blade's PS5 launch, preempts any immediate sequel development. However, Shift Up has confirmed its interest in expanding the Stellar Blade franchise.

Stellar Blade, a fast-paced action RPG, puts players in the role of Eve, fighting to reclaim Earth from mysterious invaders. Despite receiving a 7/10 rating from IGN, citing shortcomings in character development, narrative, and RPG mechanics, the game achieved significant popularity, quickly selling over one million copies. The review praised the core action gameplay but noted areas needing improvement.
