Korean studios seem to be at their best in terms of game development since two major releases have made a notable name for themselves. Shift Up’s Stellar Blade has already sold a million copies, but the game’s success seems to be far from over.

Following this success, Shift Up is now hiring new developers. As shared by CindieStarLight on the Tech4Gamers forums, the job listings seem to confirm that a PC port and sequel/DLC are in the works.

Why it matters: Stellar Blade was an undisputed success, so Shift Up is looking to focus more on expanding it to pc and making new content.

Stellar Blade was released in April, and the game was praised for its combat and beautiful graphics. As such, Shift Up was always willing to return to the IP if it found enough success.

Not too long ago, the team hinted at work on a PC port. In fact, it has even been said that a sequel would arrive if the first game became a success. The studio is now looking to hire a developer for the role of Combat Designer – PC Development.

Shift Up is specifically looking for developers who are experienced with PC work. This more or less confirms what everyone had already thought: Stellar Blade will soon be getting a PC release.

Moreover, the second job listing suggests more work is being done to expand the series. The team intends to hire a Battle Designer-Monster Creation. The person picked for this role will work on various monster systems and moves.

This should mean that new content is being developed. Whether it ends up being for DLC or a brand new sequel, however, is up for debate.

All in all, Stellar Blade might turn into a massive IP over the next few years. Shift Up’s first attempt at a AAA production has earned it huge praise. The team has also succeded in terms of critical reviews, showing plenty of promise for the future.

For those who have yet to try Stellar Blade, the game still has a free demo available on the PS5. Since it launched a few months ago, it should also be going on sale soon.
