Shift Up (Stellar Blade) won't show Project Spirits until 2027
, by Enzo
Back in November 2025, Shift Up announced Project Spirits, a new multiplatform game, in partnership with Level Infinite, the global publishing arm of Tencent Games. Few images have been revealed; all we know is that it is set in an Eastern fantasy universe.
The title was originally scheduled to be revealed by the end of 2026, but given a release schedule for major titles that’s more packed than ever, plans have been revised. As a result, fans will have to be patient and wait until 2027 to learn more about Project Spirit.
"Project Spirits, our next flagship title, is progressing smoothly in close collaboration with our partner, aiming for a level of exceptional quality capable of directly rivaling the leading games in the global gaming subculture. [...] We are currently evaluating the ideal time to fully showcase the unique world and gameplay of Project Spirits, and to generate maximum interest among players worldwide."
Shift Up is already known for the excellent Stellar Blade, which saw a successful PC port, as well as a very recent port to the Switch 2. The latter met the company’s expectations. A sequel to this title has also been announced, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain, which continues to develop at its own pace.
