The sequel to Stellar Blade<\/a> will not be published by PlayStation, developer Shift Up has confirmed \u2014 something that could point to a multiplatform launch for the forthcoming game. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Instead, Korean company Shift Up will take on publishing duties itself for Stellar Blade 2, or whatever the game ends up being called.
