Stellar Bladehas piqued the interest of the gaming community, which is already asking whether there’ll be a sequel or not. Director Hyung-Tae Kim gave a vague answer that raised eyebrows but did express an interest in expanding the lore.
It’s a common tradition for developers to produce a direct sequel after the first game was well received. Although there’s no definite answer as to whether there’ll be one, Kim assured the fans that there are more stories to share, but not in the ways they might want or expect.
Director Hyung-Tae Kim Didn’t Confirm a Stellar Blade Sequel
The developers wereinterviewedand asked if there would be a sequel to the first game, a question that most people are already pondering.
The story was designed with a larger narrative in mind, one that couldn’t be fully explored in just one game.
The players noticed that the ending was satisfying, but it was also left open-ended on purpose. Shift Up then stated that there were more concepts and ideas but couldn’t make it into the final cut.
We’ve carefully controlled how much of the story is revealed in this installment. For example, there’s the story about mothers who fear the new humanity, their existence and what they pursue, all these things. In terms of things to talk about and stories to tell, we are definitely interested in expanding and exploring these themes further in future projects, whatever form they might take.
It would be surprising if the developers chose not to pursue the potential of this franchise and shape it into something greater. The mothers were hinted, and Shift Up could work on a DLC that will focus on that storyline.

The studio didn’t directly deny a sequel, but it’s looking for other ways to grow; perhaps comic book tie-ins or a feature film are on the table. The developers areteasing an announcement in the following days,which could be related to their vague responses.
Expect to See More Stellar Blade Content in the Future
The game achieved impressive accolades, and for good reason. Not even the director anticipated the game to be as well received as it is today and earn thehighest user score on Metacritic,which is a rare sight to see.

There is potential to develop the narrative of this franchise into something much larger, and the developers are taking their time to get it right and consider all their options. Expansions, spinoff titles, and sequels are all probable, but Kim might have something else in mind.
Whatever it holds, Kim is already planning out the future of the franchise and knows how to appeal to the audience. The developersprioritized the combat over the narrative,which was evidence enough.
There is no question thatStellar Bladewas a huge success, and the developers have thought about where to take it next. The community needs to wait and see how it unfolds.
