Stellar Blade 2 Confirmed as a Multiplatform Release Across Various Consoles and PC
Shift Up has officially confirmed that Stellar Blade 2 will be a multiplatform title, marking a major strategic expansion for the franchise beyond its original PlayStation 5 and PC footprint. The confirmation arrives through a newly posted job listing on the developer’s official website, which outlines the studio’s hiring needs as development accelerates. The listing clearly states that the sequel is being built for “various consoles and PC”, signaling a notable departure from the platform exclusivity of the first game.
The job listing, available on Shift Up’s official site, provides limited but meaningful insights into the sequel’s goals. According to the description, Stellar Blade 2 will “inherit the stylish action and narrative driven world” of the first entry while delivering an “evolved action gameplay experience.” This aligns directly with Shift Up’s previous comments from September, when the studio confirmed the sequel had officially entered active development. Coverage from Genki on X further amplified the news, highlighting the multiplatform confirmation captured in the listing and sparking immediate traction across the community.

It’s no surprise that Shift Up is rapidly moving forward with Stellar Blade 2, given the franchise’s breakout global success. The first Stellar Blade, the studio’s debut console and PC title, resonated strongly with players thanks to its distinctive protagonist, stylish combat system, and polished soundtrack. It became the fastest selling Korean game on Steam and drove nearly 60 percent of Shift Up’s revenue in Q2, making the sequel an obvious next step in the company’s broader strategic growth.
Despite its success, Stellar Blade wasn’t without critiques, particularly around its narrative depth. While the story served its purpose in supporting the action focused gameplay, many players and reviewers noted opportunities to expand and enrich the worldbuilding and thematic layers. With Stellar Blade 2 now confirmed to be both multiplatform and more ambitious in design, expectations are high that Shift Up will sharpen the storytelling alongside the combat systems to deliver a more cohesive and memorable experience.
The expansion to multiple platforms is also poised to significantly broaden the franchise’s global reach. With Stellar Blade 2 targeting launch across “various consoles” and PC, Shift Up appears increasingly prepared to position the brand as a triple A action franchise capable of competing directly with major global players in the genre.
As development continues to scale, more details will undoubtedly emerge about the sequel’s feature set, platform specifics, and launch timing. For now, this confirmation represents a clear shift in Shift Up’s long term strategy as it evolves Stellar Blade into a cornerstone franchise with broader market penetration.
