Despite the fact that Stellar Blade isn’t releasing until April 26, the team behind it is already looking for new hands to help with their next game. Stellar Blade developer Shift Up has begun posting job openings for various positions to assist on what is presumably a new title.
Over on Shift Up’s website, in a section labeled “new project recruit,” several positions have been posted including openings for artists, animators, and designers. While the site is in Korean, we can glean some information from some rough translations, specifically under a posting for a Scenario Writer role.
Listed among the job responsibilities for this role are “AAA Urban Sci-Fi Action RPG Genre Scenario Composition Work.” Shift Up’s looking for someone who can assist with story planning, character scenario writing work, and scenario development for specific game components.
Artist positions are also open for work on character and monster concept art. There aren’t any deep details listed here, but it’s clear that Shift Up is looking for individuals who have experience working in Unreal Engine. Stellar Blade was also developed in Unreal Engine, so this tracks for them.
It’s unclear as of yet whether this title is planned to be a continuation of Stellar Blade’s universe (i.e. a sequel or spin-off) or a completely separate title. Given the success the company’s already seen from pre-order numbers following the release of the Stellar Blade demo, we wouldn’t be surprised to find they’ve already placed their bets on a follow-up to the upcoming action RPG.
We’ll be sure to update readers if we hear any more about what Shift Up is cooking up behind closed doors.
