Kim Hyung-tae, the director of Stellar Blade and founder of Shift Up, has joined the ranks of Korea’s 50 wealthiest individuals, boasting a net worth estimated to be around $725 million. The extraordinary success of Stellar Blade in 2024 propelled Shift Up to unprecedented heights, with the game still receiving updates as we move into the new year and a PC version scheduled for release soon.
2024 saw the release of the highly-acclaimed exclusive PlayStation 5 game, “Stellar Blade.” Even a year after its debut, it continues to draw in players. The story revolves around Eve, a soldier on a mission to save humanity from an invasion by creatures called Naytiba that have overrun the planet. Despite some controversy over the main character’s appearance before its launch, “Stellar Blade” garnered praise for its combat, visuals, and soundtrack. The game’s success has significantly boosted the director’s reputation, earning them a remarkable achievement.
Based on a recent report from Forbes, it has been revealed that Kim Hyung-tae, founder of Shift Up and director of Stellar Blade, is now among the 50 wealthiest individuals in South Korea, boasting an impressive net worth of approximately $725 million. A significant portion of this success can be attributed to the remarkable performance of Stellar Blade, but it’s important to note that Shift Up also developed the gacha game Goddess of Victory: Nikke, which raked in a staggering $1 billion in lifetime revenue by March 2025. Despite this immense success, Hyung-tae remains humble; in fact, in January, he generously rewarded all Shift Up employees with PlayStation 5 Pro consoles and around $3,400 each to celebrate Stellar Blade’s achievements.
