Stellar Blade's Triumph at the 2024 Korea Game Awards

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, including the coveted Excellence Award. Its accolades also encompassed recognition for outstanding achievements in Game Planning/Scenario, Graphics, Character Design, and Sound Design. Further solidifying its triumph, Stellar Blade received the Outstanding Developer Award and the Popular Game Award.

This marks the fifth Korea Game Award win for Stellar Blade's Director and SHIFT UP CEO, Kim Hyung-tae, highlighting his consistent contribution to award-winning game development throughout his career at Softmax, NCSoft, and now SHIFT UP.

Kim Hyung-tae expressed his gratitude in his acceptance speech, acknowledging the initial skepticism surrounding the development of a Korean-made console game and celebrating the team's collective achievement.

While Stellar Blade narrowly missed the Grand Prize (awarded to Netmarble’s Solo Leveling: ARISE), SHIFT UP remains dedicated to Stellar Blade's future. Kim Hyung-tae confirmed plans for substantial future updates, expressing ambition to achieve the Grand Prize in future iterations.
