The Stellar Blade Hype Train continues with a PC release targeting 2025

Stellar Blade has arrived exclusively on PlayStation 5 near the beginning of this yearbut a PC port is now becoming less theoretical. Shift Up, the South Korean studio behind the sci-fi action game, recently told investors that it aims to bring the game to PC sometime in 2025.

The news came in response to a question for the investor following Shift Up’s latest earnings report. The studio identified Valve’s Steam storefront as an important piece of the AAA game market and pointed to the recent success of Black Myth: Wukong, which has exploded onto the platform as Chinese and other players have turned it into its biggest single-player release from Steam history. .

Shift Up even suggested that the financial performance of Stellar Blade, which as of June had sold over 1 million copies on PS5 alone, could ultimately end up being better on PC than on console.

While a PC port of Stellar Blade will bring it to millions of new players and also make Soulslike a breeding ground for all kinds of fascinating mods, Shift Up also continues to invest in the current version of consoles. Announced earlier this year, a crossover DLC with Nier: Automata arrives on November 20 alongside additional outfits for main character Eve.

The game will also get a full-fledged photo mode at that time, which I’m sure it will they also give some fascinating results. The free update will no doubt contain other new features, including new settings options and combat changes.

While Stellar Blade might not be a clear GOTY contender for many, it’s a very stylish action game with some nice visuals and neat, old-school charm. It’s a promising debut project for Shift Up that punches well above its weight. In addition to the PC port next year, a sequel is already being considered.
