SHIFT UP has decided to adjust the timing of the public announcement for Project Spirits, with specific details to be provided once finalized. The project is being co-developed by SHIFT UP and Yongxing Interactive, an affiliate of Tencent, and is planned for release on PC, console, and mobile platforms.
SHIFT UP had originally planned to introduce the direction and key features of Project Spirits within 2026, prioritizing completion, quality, and global scalability in its development. However, considering the release schedule of major games from late 2026 to early 2027, the company has decided to select a more suitable window to showcase the game's world and gameplay.
Currently, SHIFT UP has neither announced the cancellation of Project Spirits nor provided a new reveal date. Therefore, the project is currently undergoing adjustments to its announcement schedule, and a delayed unveiling remains possible.
The same earnings report also mentioned that the sequel to Stellar Blade, titled Stellar Blade: Blood Rain, is being developed with a focus on ensuring quality and allowing for a sufficient development cycle. Further information will be disclosed in stages. Several titles developed by subsidiary UNBOUND under the leadership of Shinji Mikami will also be announced sequentially as each project reaches readiness.
