Shift Up, the developer behind Stellar Blade, reported record-breaking financial success in 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 growth, predicting stronger PC sales than the console version, particularly within the Asian gaming market. While a Stellar Blade sequel remains under consideration, Shift Up plans to unveil its new title, Project Witches, in the first half of 2025.

Project Witches, initially revealed in 2024 following Stellar Blade's PS5 launch, preempts any immediate sequel development. However, Shift Up has confirmed exploration of future installments within the Stellar Blade franchise.

Stellar Blade, a fast-paced action RPG, puts players in the role of Eve, fighting unknown invaders to reclaim Earth. Despite receiving a 7/10 rating from IGN, citing shortcomings in character development, narrative, and RPG mechanics, the game achieved significant popularity, rapidly selling over a million copies. The review highlighted the game's strong action elements while noting areas needing improvement.
