Following the global success of GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE, Tencent’s worldwide publishing label Level Infinite and renowned Korean developer SHIFT UP have once again joined forces. The two companies officially announced that they have signed a global publishing agreement for SHIFT UP’s brand-new original IP — the cross-platform next-generation title Project Psalm
A New Cross-Platform Action RPG With a Futuristic Urban Sci-Fi Setting
Project Psalm is a cross-platform action RPG targeting PC and mobile, blending a modern urban sci-fi world with a multi-character control system. The game emphasizes deep character combinations and strategic combat mechanics to deliver an experience that is both tactically rich and thrillingly fast-paced.
According to the official announcement, the game will continue SHIFT UP’s signature high-quality art direction while introducing a more futuristic worldview and setting.
Led by Veteran Producer Han Da-hoon
To ensure the quality of development, SHIFT UP has appointed Han Da-hoon, a veteran game producer, as the development director for Project Psalm.
Han has an extensive industry background, having contributed to the core design of classic MMORPGs, including Blade & Soul and Mabinogi.
After founding Studio HG in 2015, he led the creation of several well-received titles, including:
- Smashing the Battle
- OVERTURN
- Metallic Child
He also served as project director for Action Square’s Dungeon & Fighter-inspired title, Dungeon Followers, showcasing strong creative integration and team leadership capabilities.
SHIFT UP and Level Infinite: A Powerful Partnership
As one of Korea’s most influential anime-style game developers, SHIFT UP has built a massive global fanbase through titles like:
- Destiny Child
- GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE
- The AAA console hit Stellar Blade
Meanwhile, Level Infinite has been aggressively expanding its footprint in premium global content. Beyond its partnership on NIKKE, the label has taken part in major publishing collaborations on:
- Dune: Awakening
- Warhammer 40K: Darktide
This renewed partnership with SHIFT UP further strengthens Level Infinite’s leading position in cross-platform premium game publishing.
A Potential New Flagship IP
Project Psalm remains in development, with no confirmed release window. However, backed by SHIFT UP’s strong creative capabilities and Level Infinite’s global publishing power, the title — blending sci-fi, strategic depth, and multi-character storytelling — is already viewed by industry observers as SHIFT UP’s next potential flagship following Stellar Blade.
