The road map appears to be legitimate as Twisted Voxel reported that during the company’s IPO press conference held earlier this week that the company’s CFO Jae-Woo Ahn announced that the photo mode update would arrive in August, new character skins would be rolled out in October, and a collaboration would be introduced at the end of the year.
Finally, he also confirmed that DLC and a sequel are expected to be announced in the future.
On top of the roadmap, Twisted Voxel also reports that Jae-Woo Ahn and the team at Shift Up is considering a PC release of Stellar Blade given the AAA video game audience has shifted away from consoles to PCs.

There might be more than one collaboration as well. However, The company’s CEO Hyung-Tae Kim all but confirmed that at least one of the collaborations would be with Goddess of Victory: NIKKE.
Furthermore, Kim shared that the company is exploring a number of potential opportunities for synergy between the two games. Any kind of collaboration that happens within Stellar Blade will likely be paid DLC rather than a free rollout.

The game’s director Kim Hyung-tae informed Famitsu in May via Google translate that he and the team were working on a new Photo Mode, “Unfortunately, we can’t deliver it right away, but we would like to implement it.

When asked about what impressed him from players following the game’s release, he said, “I was very happy to see people enjoying fishing and collecting cans, filling up their databanks and thinking about the worldview.
