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 prestigious Excellence Award. Its accolades also encompassed recognition for exceptional achievements in Game Planning/Scenario, Graphics, Character Design, and Sound Design. Furthermore, Stellar Blade received the Outstanding Developer Award and the Popular Game Award.

This marks the fifth Korea Game Award win for Stellar Blade Director and SHIFT UP CEO, Kim Hyung-tae. His previous wins span titles like Magna Carta 2 (Xbox 360), The War of Genesis 3 (1999), and contributions to Blade and Soul (2012) and Goddess of Victory: Nikke (2023).

In his acceptance speech, as reported by Econovill and translated via Google, Kim Hyung-tae acknowledged the initial skepticism surrounding the development of a Korean-made console game and expressed gratitude to his team for their collective achievement.

While Netmarble's Solo Leveling: ARISE took home the Grand Prize, Kim Hyung-tae assured fans that Stellar Blade's journey is far from over, promising future updates and aiming for the Grand Prize in future iterations.
