Stellar Bladeis undoubtedly one of the biggest releases of 2024, dazzling players with its aesthetics and gameplay. However, the one thing players have yet to be able to get a consensus on, even two months after the game’s release, is its cliffhanger of an ending.
Given the devout following developer Shift Up has cultivated with the game, it’s only a matter of time before the damn holding back the demand for a sequel breaks away wholly.
Stellar Blade Fans Want to Avoid the Heartbreak of Not Receiving a Sequel
Even though the game had a rocky start, facing one controversy after another, none could stop it andShift Upfrom getting a well-deserved victory. It’s wholesome, too, how even the humble developers couldn’t anticipate the overwhelmingly positive response their first AAA title would receive at launch.

Here’s the thing—when you make a game that remarkably serves fans of both Yoko Taro and FromSoftware while maintaining its own identity and appealing to the masses at the same time, the demand for more is going to be unbelievably high.
Now that the dust has settled andthe community awaits the upcoming DLC, a few are already trying to ensure that the developers stick with this world and deliver a worthwhile successor to the cliffhanger at the end of the game.
From the Reddit post, it’s clear that most wouldn’t wish to seeStellar Bladefall into the abyss of“Great video games that never received a sequel.”
Even the wounds from a series as old asLegacy of Kainremain fresh to this day, so it makes sense that people don’t wish to see EVE and her narrative follow the same route.
Considering that the game isn’t very replayable, unlike a FromSoftware or even a Yoko Taro game, the community should prepare for a drought ofStellar Bladecontent. It will certainly arrive one day, but that day may just be farther away than expected.
Stellar Blade’s Future Remains Bright, but the Possibility of a Sequel Is Still Unknown
From the very beginning, Shift Up andStellar Blade‘s lead, Hyung-Tae Kim, has unfortunatelyremained ambiguous about whether we can expect a sequelto the game or not.

While the developer seems to have clear plans on how best to explore EVE’s world and the larger narrative at play, they seem uncertain about whether they will execute those plans in the form of a game or some transmedia narrative such as books, comics, shows, or films.
At the end of the day, however, given how much fans wish for the game to receive a proper sequel, perhaps Shift Up will give in to the demands and begin working on a potentialStellar Blade2 once all the DLC stuff wraps up. Whether or not they will deliver on that front, only time will tell.
With that said, what are your thoughts on getting aStellar Blade2? Are there any particular expectations from the game’s upcoming DLC? Let us know in the comments below.
