Stellar Blade Wins Top Honors at Korea Game Awards

Stellar Blade's Triumph at the 2024 Korea Game Awards: A Seven-Award Sweep

SHIFT UP's Stellar Blade achieved remarkable success at the 2024 Korea Game Awards, held on November 13th at the Busan Exhibition & Convention Center (BEXCO). The game secured an impressive seven awards, solidifying its position as a leading title in the Korean gaming landscape.

Among its accolades was the prestigious Excellence Award, a testament to the game's overall quality. Stellar Blade also received recognition for its exceptional achievements in Game Planning/Scenario, Graphics, Character Design, and Sound Design. Further bolstering its win count were the Outstanding Developer Award and the Popular Game Award.

This victory marks the fifth Korea Game Awards win for Stellar Blade Director and SHIFT UP CEO, Kim Hyung-tae. His previous successes include contributions to Magna Carta 2, The War of Genesis 3, Blade and Soul, and Goddess of Victory: Nikke. In his acceptance speech, as reported by Econovill, Kim expressed gratitude to his team and acknowledged the initial skepticism surrounding the development of a Korean console game.

While Stellar Blade narrowly missed the Grand Prize, which went to Netmarble's Solo Leveling: ARISE, the team remains focused on the game's future. Kim Hyung-tae pledged continued development, promising future updates and aiming for the Grand Prize in future competitions.

SHIFT UP's 3rd Quarter Business Performance Results highlight a strategy to maintain Stellar Blade's popularity through ongoing marketing and content updates.

The future looks bright for Stellar Blade, and its success promises to inspire future Korean AAA game development, potentially leading to a new era of globally competitive titles.
