The model Shin Jae-in, who lent her body to the main character of Stellar Blade, turned up at Shift Up’s offices recently — which naturally reignited speculation about a sequel in active development. She met with studio head Kim Hyun Tae and checked out the 3D scanning department; short visit, but enough to get people talking. Officially there’s no Stellar Blade 2 announcement, yet investor-facing financial reports (i.e., documents shown to stakeholders) point toward a 2027 window. It looks like the team is gearing up to recreate that game's distinct look using familiar production tools — e.g., mocap and photogrammetry — though whether that means a finished product in three years or just early-stage prep is anyone’s guess (I’m curious, mildly impatient, and a little skeptical).
