Project Spirits reveal moves to 2027 in Shift Up earnings report

Shift Up says it is delaying the reveal of its upcoming cross-platform game Project Spirits from late 2026 to 2027 to avoid clashing with major releases. The studio states that the title, which is heading to PC, consoles, and mobile through a publishing partnership with Level Infinite, recently completed a positive build evaluation.

In the same earnings report, Shift Up states that meeting internal quality targets remains the focus for Stellar Blade: Blood Rain, which does not have a set release window. Meanwhile, the studio notes that the Switch 2 version of Stellar Blade, launched on November 6, is meeting initial sales expectations. The company reports KRW 5.9 billion in revenue for the franchise during the third quarter of 2026, representing a 32.9 percent decline from the previous quarter and a 78.6 percent drop year-over-year. Shift Up attributes the drop to slowing demand on older platforms, noting that the Switch 2 launch falls outside the reporting period. Operating profit fell 58.2 percent overall.
