Shift Up Aiming to Release Stellar Blade for PC in 2025 - News

by William D'Angelo , posted on 03 December 2024 / 2,012 Views

Shift Up in its latest earnings report Q&A stated its goal is to release Stellar Blade for PC sometime in 2025.

"We're aiming for a 2025 release," said the developer when asked about a PC version of Stellar Blade.

"Given recent trends like Steam’s growing presence in the AAA games market and the global success of Black Myth: Wukong, we are expecting the PC version to perform even better than the console version."

The developer revealed sales for the PS5 version of Stellar Blade "have remained steady even as the initial surge has calmed."

Stellar Blade released for the PS5 in April.

Thanks, Gematsu.

Playing this right now, it's so fucking good.

Alas, the PC version isn't going to sell more than the PS5 version. That's a silly assumption.

They aren't anywhere close to being in the same position as black myth wukong. that game's success was the result of long pent up demand for a AAA quality chinese-made chinese ip from chinese gamer. the entire country had their eyes ont eh game from start to finish. Even later chinese soulslikes aren't likely to see the same level of success.

These exclusive deals are ridiculous, here I am with my Acorn A5000 and nothing is ever released for it anymore.

Jokes above aside, I sorta doubt it will come to other consoles as it was published by Sony for the PS5 platform. This is a Death Stranding sorta deal, where Sony publishes the PlayStation version, while the developer is free to seek out another publishing partner for a PC version - but I am sure isn't allowed to do other console versions.

Death Stranding just released for Xbox Series, but only after Kojima Productions fully bought out the IP from Sony.

Kojima buying the ip from sony likely isn't true or the media has misunderstood something. As far as I can tell kojima always had ownership of the world and characters but the rights to the games belong to sony and it's no coincidence that the xbox port is 5 years after to the day. Not only is the trademark for death stranding still registered to sony in every region but kojima's been posting images where the copyright not only still mentions sony but it's been updated to 2024.

Kojima Productions themselves announced that alongside the Xbox port. You are probably right, in that maybe they had control over the world/characters but not game publishing, etc (the movie deal with A24 was obviously done before this). I don't think it matters how you slice it though: before now, Sony was at least making some decisions on how Death Stranding could be used, and now Kojima fully owns it. Sometimes registrars take a while to show different ownership, especially in media matters.
