Stellar Blade, one of the few exclusive PS5 games this year, will launch next month. Shift-UP Corporation, a South Korean studio, is developing Stellar Blade. Sony is betting on this studio, which has developed some titles in the past. The confidence of Hyung-Tae Kim, CEO of this studio, is plenty, especially in his development team.
Kim gifted every member of the Shift-UP team a free PS5 to celebrate the game’s unveiling during the PlayStation Showcase. So if the game sells well, the dev team could have another bonus reward. Things like this make people want to work in the industry.
A free PS5 for every member behind Stellar Blade, the new Sony Exclusive game
After Sony reported that this year would not be full of exclusive AAA games like Marvel’s Spider-Man or God of War, fans of PlayStation were very disappointed. Fortunately, other projects can fill this gap; one of these games is Stellar Blade, a new third-person action game.
This title’s protagonist is EVE. Shift-UP Corporation, a South Korean studio, is developing Stellar Blade. This will be an exclusive PS5 title that will be available next month. A couple of years ago, the CEO of this studio gave a special gift to its employees.
After Stellar Blade, previously known as Project EVE, was first introduced in a PlayStation Showcase, the CEO of Shift-UP Corporation gifted all its 260 employees a PS5. This was a surprise that the dev team encountered when they came to work one day.

Hyung-Tae Kim is a generous CEO, a practice that is crucial in the industry, particularly for businesses that often undervalue their developers despite their significant contributions to the games. What could Kim do if the game sells well? The dev team and all the players want to know once Stellar Blade is out.
If you want a proper bonus, then Shift-UP Corporation is a good place to work
After some players discovered that the game’s principal camera only focused on the protagonist’s butt, Stellar Blade sparked some controversy. The suits of EVE are also very tight, and the character even has some physics in delicate places, but many critics are saying that is a great game. Many fans are eagerly waiting for the release of Stellar Blade.
The game has a demo available for PS5 players. On April 26, Sony’s PS5 will exclusively receive the release of Stellar Blade. You will control EVE a human warrior who will do everything in her power to take back the planet from an alien invasion. It will be a fast-phased combat game full of combos and timing, with a parry system.
