Stellar Blade developers teased upcoming news on social media. Stellar Blade is one of the most unique new titles for the PlayStation 5, offering a fleshed out action experience comparable to games like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and putting its own stylish spin on parry-based combat. The game has quickly gained a dedicated following that eagerly looks forward to hearing what else developer Shift Up may announce.

It appears that fans of Shift Up will have plenty to enjoy in the future, as Stellar Blade's developer has already staffed up for its next game. The upcoming title is described as an AAA action RPG featuring monsters in an "urban sci-fi setting," which sounds similar enough to Stellar Blade and has fans wondering whether a sequel is already in development. The game is stated as multi-platform, however, which would be an interesting choice for a sequel considering the initial release's console exclusivity. It is clear that Shift Up has gained momentum since its release, though.

Stellar Blade provides players with a fun and challenging New Game Plus.

Stellar Blade's social media account posted a close-up image of a Naytiba statue, with the caption "Get ready for next week." What fans should be getting ready for is unknown, but based on the success of Stellar Blade, plenty are guessing it's DLC or a sequel announcement. Based on the image in the post, it is possible that the team is considering selling statues of the Naytiba, which could both capitalize on the popularity of figurines and nod to how the game's monsters were first designed as clay models that were then scanned into the game. Some fans have been asking for figures, and have replied to the post with excitement over the idea.

In speculation over what may be coming next for Stellar Blade, some fans have responded to the teaser post requesting additional features to be patched in. Stellar Blade launched without a photo mode, and fans have been asking for the feature even before the game's release. Others would like to have a boss rush mode added to the game, which lines up with the overall reception of the game, as many have said that the bosses are the best part of the game.

Other possibilities for the announcement may be a PC port. Based on Shift Up's upcoming title and the way Sony has been expanding into the PC space, going multi-platform could bring in more fans for Stellar Blade the same way it did for Helldivers 2. If the news is about some sort of expansion, however, gamers are hoping Stellar Blade takes notes from God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla and its free DLC expansion approach. Regardless of what comes next for Stellar Blade, fans are excited.
