Stellar Blade 2 developer Shift Up to self-publish, targeting multi-platform release

Shift Up, the developer behind the hit game Stellar Blade, has announced it will self-publish the sequel, Stellar Blade 2. This marks a shift from the first game, which was published by Sony and was a PlayStation exclusive. The move aims to allow Shift Up to control marketing strategies and more directly communicate the game's unique identity to players, potentially emphasizing aspects like character appeal. The sequel is expected to launch on multiple platforms, including PC and possibly other consoles, unlike its predecessor. AI
