Stellar Blade director goes all-in on AI as South Korea’s games industry looks to compete on the global stage

Stellar Blade’s journey has been anything but quiet. While much of the chatter has revolved around its portrayal of the lead female character and some questionable choices by developer Shift Up, the PS5 action game still managed to carve out a significant spot in the crowded market. Its success has paved the way for a sequel, already confirmed well before fans have even had a chance to glimpse what’s next. Now, with that project in early stages, Stellar Blade’s director is making waves by going all-in on artificial intelligence, signaling a bold shift not just for the franchise but for South Korea’s gaming scene at large. As the country looks to sharpen its competitive edge globally, embracing cutting-edge tech like AI in development could be a game changer, and the director’s commitment suggests we’re about to witness an evolution in both how games are made and how stories are told.
