‘Stellar Blade' Sequel Confirmed, Possibly Coming In 2026
Stellar Blade Stellar Blade was one of my favorite games of last year, a stellar (ha) action adventure title that did not deserve the culture war nonsense that surrounded it. Now, fans have some good news. After previously saying a sequel could be in the works, developer SHIFTUP has posted a slide in a recent investor document labelled 'IP expansion on its way with high visibility.' That includes parts of a graph that label 'platform expansion' and 'sequel' which appear to be placed in the 2026 section of the chart, which would be about two years or so after the first game. That's not exactly common in the gaming sphere these days. Stellar Blade The reason for this is that Stellar Blade was a big success for SHIFTUP, financially, critically and with fans. Specifically, Stellar Blade landed a solid 81 metascore among critics and a very high 9.2 among fans. Stellar Blade has consistently been updated with new features like a boss rush but mainly a slate of new costumes where dozens have been added to the game, acquired in various ways. I am not quite sure what 'platform expansion' is, though the best guess is that the game may release on other hardware like Xbox, when previously it was a PlayStation exclusive. There's also the question of the upcoming Switch 2 which would likely have the power to run a new game in 2026, and obviously that console is going to sell quite well. However, it's unclear what sort of deal may be in place with PlayStation, whether it was just for one game or any potential sequels. The document does not address that minus the 'platform expansion' bit.

I am still impressed it could be here as soon as 2026, albeit as we know with AAA games, that may end up delayed past whatever the first date or release window is announced. Hopefully we will get more information soon as we head toward the middle of the year, but for now, I suppose we'll just have to be content with this slide and some speculation.
