Stellar Blade: Blood Rain

Stellar Blade: Blood Rain is in development at Shift Up, the studio behind 2024’s Stellar Blade. Shift Up revealed the game at Summer Game Fest on June 5, 2026, confirming it as a direct story continuation rather than a numbered sequel. No release date, release window, or platform list has been confirmed yet, though Shift Up has said the game is planned for PC and PlayStation 5.

Über das Spiel

Blood Rain moves away from the first game’s desolate, open expanses and drops players into a dense, linear city inspired by Chongqing, China. Players control a new protagonist, Evie, a short-haired special forces operative tracking down the group responsible for a devastating terrorist attack on the city. Combat centers on fast, close-quarters punches delivered through a set of gauntlets, with a sword and other weapons unlocking later in the story.

Unlike the original, which launched as a PlayStation timed exclusive before reaching PC later, Shift Up plans to self-publish Blood Rain rather than work through Sony. CEO Kim Hyung-tae has said the goal is a simultaneous, multi-platform launch across PC and consoles from day one. As of the June 2026 reveal, the studio confirmed the game had been in development for about a year, with the art direction and early story acts finalized while combat systems and the script’s second half remain in progress.

What’s Confirmed So Far

New Protagonist, Evie: The story shifts away from original heroine Eve to a new special forces operative with a different personality and combat style.
Dense Urban Setting: A cyberpunk-influenced city environment replaces the first game’s ruined, open landscapes, with a more linear structure and accessible side content.
Gauntlet-Based Combat: Early gameplay centers on punching enemies with gauntlets, with a sword and additional skills unlocking as the story progresses.
Self-Published, Multi-Platform Plans: Shift Up intends to release the game simultaneously across PC and consoles, without the console-exclusivity arrangement the first game had.
