The studio CEO behind Stellar Blade has already hinted at the sequel in a new interview. It depends on how well this game performs.
Shift Up, the developer behind Stellar Blade, has released a new update, bringing the game to version 1.006.
Shift Up's recent release, Stellar Blade, proves that not all PlayStation exclusives need huge sales figures to be successful.
That impossible to say without knowing each companies individual expectations. For example Arrowhead clearly had a set expectation for Helldivers 2 but the results were far beyond their expectations. Another exclusive for KT (Rise of the Ronin) became their best seller of all time. Was this their expectations? Who knows but I doubt it.
Stellar Blade did very well for a new IP that happened to be exclusive. Did i expect it to do this well? Not sure but what's more important is Shift Up's expectations.
It seems the Stellar Blade roadmap has been leaked via an internal presentation. It mentions Photo Mode coming in August and more.
This game is going to be a banger. The demo was good and I am sold. I'm getting a Nier: Automata, Devil May Cry, and Sekiro vibes. The parrying system and combos is near perfect.
The only thing I didn't like was the Scan>R2 pickup.
Combat is pretty slick.
That demo was incredible - preordered it today! Hoping they'll offer the digital deluxe edition as an upgrade for physical purchases.
Game is very fun, has clear inspirations yet feels unique, and performs pretty perfectly. Hits all the right marks for me.
the combat is absolutely fantastic, hope it does well :)
