The sequel to the 2024 action game Stellar Blade was announced at Summer Game Fest 2026 as Stellar Blade: Bloodrain, but SHIFT UP has not yet released details on its story, platforms, or launch window. A fabricated call for credit card regulation of the sequel was debunked as a troll post.
SHIFT UP officially announced the sequel to its 2024 action game Stellar Blade during the Summer Game Fest 2026 livestream on June 6. The new title is called Stellar Blade: Bloodrain, also styled Stellar Blade BLOOD RAIN. The trailer showed stylish action scenes and cutscenes with high-fidelity graphics. Multiple sources identify the protagonist as a short-haired woman named Evie, while one source suggests the character may be Lily, the mechanic who supported protagonist Eve in the first game. The footage reportedly uses in-game scenes from the PC version. SHIFT UP has not yet released detailed information about the story, release platforms, or launch window.
Shortly after the announcement, claims spread that overseas forum users were urging credit card companies to regulate the upcoming sequel. The claims were debunked. The post, made on ResetEra, was a trolling attempt that resulted in the user being banned. The forum is not organizing any such call for regulation.
The sequel was also briefly mentioned in a weekly roundup from Automaton, which consolidated major game announcements from the week, but provided no additional details beyond the announcement itself.
