#Stellar Blade’s sequel is gathering steam, and it looks as if the devs took heed of the PC numbers – Destructoid

It goes with out saying that Stellar Blade was a large hit, each on console and on PC. Regardless of its momentary PS5 limbo, the sport crushed it when it launched on Steam, and it seems the devs have taken word and are aiming for a “multiplatform” day one launch.

Or so one might collect from a latest job posting by ShiftUp, the event studio behind Stellar Blade itself. The itemizing, first posted on Nov. 21, particulars Stellar Blade‘s sequel and the obligations varied roles would have. Stellar Blade‘s sequel (unnamed as of but) is described as “AAA-grade multiplatform motion sport,” that’s “focusing on launch on varied platforms together with consoles and PC.”

The itemizing additional highlights that the sport spent a 12 months as a PS5 unique, topping 200,000 concurrent gamers as soon as it lastly launched on PC.

The above was translated from Korean utilizing DeepL, and from what I might collect, it’s a powerful indication that Stellar Blade 2, or regardless of the sequel known as, goes to launch concurrently on the PS5 and PC. It may very well be a timed unique once more, however I fail to grasp why that may be if the studio itself is highlighting the sport’s stellar (pun supposed) efficiency on PC.

What’s extra, the half that outlines “varied platforms together with consoles” plural tells me the sport might, God keen, launch on Xbox in addition to PS5 and PC. Sony has been steering in direction of multiplatformity for some time now, and although it’s possible going to maintain its greatest hits as exclusives for console-selling functions, I might see the likes of Stellar Blade 2 launch on Microsoft’s platform.

In any case, the latter has been pushing strongly towards a unified gaming market the place platform exclusivity is a factor of the previous, and has introduced quite a few of its personal video games to the PS5. Stellar Blade 2 might comply with Helldivers 2 and department out into Xbox. Time will solely inform, however the itemizing above does encourage hope.

Take note, that is what I’ve derived from the itemizing. It might very effectively be that “multiplatform” means one thing fully completely different to ShiftUp than it does to me. Both method, the unique Stellar Blade got here out on PC ultimately, and if something’s sure, it’s that its sequel, which continues the “trendy motion” of the earlier sport, goes to do the identical.
