Announced on November 26, this new collaboration marks the next chapter in a proven partnership responsible for the global hit Goddess of Victory: NIKKE—and the industry is already buzzing with anticipation.
A Global Publishing Deal Set to Shape the Next Generation of Action Gaming
Project Spirits is being developed as a cross-platform title for PC, consoles, and mobile, built with cutting-edge power on Unreal Engine 5. The project represents a joint development effort between SHIFT UP and Tencent’s affiliate Yongxing Interactive, a studio known for high-quality production values and a talented team of ACG-focused industry veterans.
This deal marks the second major collaboration between Level Infinite and SHIFT UP following NIKKE’s worldwide success. With Project Spirits, both companies aim to push their creative and technological synergy even further, elevating the experience for players across all platforms.
Leveraging SHIFT UP’s Award-Winning Creative Power

Its flagship games — Goddess of Victory: NIKKE and Stellar Blade — have accumulated worldwide acclaim, with Stellar Blade sweeping international awards in 2024. SHIFT UP’s mastery in crafting striking visuals, compelling worlds, and high-impact storytelling has earned the company a dedicated global fanbase.
In July 2024, SHIFT UP further reinforced its industry prominence by successfully listing on the Korean Stock Exchange, solidifying its position as one of South Korea’s leading game developers.
