Shift Up, the Seoul-based studio behind the hotly anticipated Stellar Blade and popular gacha game Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, is already gearing up for its next big project: a cross-platform, next-gen urban sci-fi RPG.
The company’s recent job postings unveil plans for a game that promises to blend futuristic storytelling with high-octane action, all developed using the powerful Unreal Engine.
According to Shift Up’s “New Project” recruitment page, the studio is on the lookout for a slew of creative roles, including a technical artist, monster concept artists, character concept artists, animators, and a scenario writer.
These positions hint at the ambitious scope of their upcoming title, which is set to span consoles, PC, and mobile platforms, underlining its AAA status and broad accessibility.
The game’s urban sci-fi setting suggests a blend of futuristic cityscapes and mysterious, possibly malevolent creatures. This aligns well with the narrative depth and visually striking aesthetics that fans are anticipating in Stellar Blade, set to launch on PlayStation 5 on April 26. A playable demo, already available, showcases the game’s slick, fluid combat and stunning art design—elements likely to carry over into their new project.
Stellar Blade has generated significant buzz, revered for its engaging gameplay and dynamic combat system that rewards skill with visually spectacular encounters.
While details are still under wraps, the gaming community is eagerly watching. What will Shift Up reveal next? We’ll keep you updated as new information emerges.
