‘Stellar Blade’ and ‘NIKKE’ Developer SHIFT UP Is Working on a New AAA Urban Sci-Fi Action RPG for Mobile, PC, and Consoles – TouchArcade

Ahead of the PS5 exclusive Stellar Blade launching later this month, developer SHIFT UP who is most known for Goddess of Victory: NIKKE (Free) on mobile, has begun hiring (via Gematsu) for a new game project that is a new AAA urban sci-fi action RPG project. The job listing for the project that Gematsu covered also says it is a cross platform game for PC, console, and mobile. It is being developed in Unreal Engine. Check out a screenshot of the page highlighting the team’s newest games and the upcoming project:

The listing by SHIFT UP mentions they are hiring across the following categories: programmer (technical artist), artists (monster concept artist, character concept artist, and animator), and designer (scenario writer) to work on this game. I didn’t play much of NIKKE around launch, all impressions I hear about it now mention it being great. The Stellar Blade demo I played on PS5 was also good. I’m curious how this urban AAA sci-fi action RPG ends up when it is fully revealed, and also how it feels compared to HoYoverse’s Zenless Zone Zero which has a similar setting in ways. Have you played NIKKE on mobile or the Stellar Blade demo on PS5 yet?
