Stellar Blade is just a few weeks away from release, and will be developer Shift Up's first major console project. However, before this PS5 exclusive is even out, the studio has begun hiring for its next game — and it looks like it'll also be hitting consoles.
On a new recruitment page on its website, Shift Up is advertising roles for its next game, which will be a triple-A, sci-fi action RPG. Built in Unreal Engine (presumably 5, but not stated), the various listings also mention monsters, "stylish action", and an urban setting, so it sounds like it won't be too far away from what's being done with Stellar Blade.
The game has a demo out now, and you can read what we think of it in our preview. Whether you end up liking Stellar Blade or not, it looks like Shift Up will be bringing us another stylised action RPG in the coming years.
Are you excited for what Shift Up is cooking after Stellar Blade? Let us know in the comments section below.

Stellar blade 2 confirmed
Was expecting a AAAA project, oh well
Maybe it's good to have trashy mobile games in order to finance proper passion projects.
There seem to be quite varied opinions on this game. The demo answered a few questions but it'll be interesting to see the reception from full reviews.
I tried the demo yesterday, I was already excited and got to admit, the demo blew me away.
The combat does take some getting used to, but once it clicks it’s insanely satisfying. A definite day one for me now. And if this means we’re going to get more games at this kind of quality, then I am in… tight suit or not!
Great seeing a dev that is mostly known for mobile games go all-in on console and do it well. Feels like it's usually the other way around.

If the demo for Stellar Blade was anything to go by I'll be very interested in this too.
@tameshiyaku It good to have a diverse set of gaming products. As long as you don't have shareholders demand you plow everything into the most profitable thing you do.
Good news. Loved what I played of the demo and cant wait for the full release.
This studio is on my watch list for anything else down the road.
That is very good news 🤩
Hope next project would as good as Stellar Blade! Look forward to hear their announcement!
This'll be the first game I actually go for the digital deluxe version, the demo was just that good.
@NieR_Dark lucky you, i WANTED to like it, but the combat was so bad and the music so cringy i wont shell out 80€ to support their cause.
@NieR_Dark I also really enjoyed the demo! I plan to pick this one up at the end of the month.
@pirlega That’s a shame! To be fair it took me a little longer than anticipated to get to grips with the combat, but once I got into the swing of it, things just seemed to flow really well for me. Beating the “boss rush” challenge almost flawlessly after it kicked me around for a good few attempts was genuinely satisfying, but I can definitely see why it wouldn’t be for some.
…and I really liked the music! But maybe I’m just easily pleased 😂
At least there’s no shortage of other new games for you atm!
@pirlega Nobody cares what you you do with your life savings, so just keep scrimping and saving and complaining on Push while the rest of us play the games we're interested in.
Maybe hiring for a NIKKE port?
I really want a console version of Nikke. Not a port but a complete game all it's own. It could really be the PvE overwatch experience we've been waiting for. It could be a cover heavy game, moving from defense to defense with each girl having unique load outs, skills and roles. I honestly do believe it has the potential to be something really fun.
@Czar_Khastik Most (usually self-proclaimed) AAAA games are garbage. Just give me a good game.
@NieR_Dark iman, you are such a nice guy. I don’t feel like trolling you. Any way, I don’t like the combat because I am ***** and if you like the Korean music, don’t worry it’s fine. It’s just not my jam.
@MrMagic dude, I spend more time hating on the latest ***** than actually playing because I have nothing to play with
@MrMagic btw thank you, I only found the demo because of your indications
Sequel underway maybe.
@pirlega You do you dude! How boring would games be if we all liked the same stuff!?
