A Strong Partnership for Project Spirits
Level Infinite, Tencent’s global publishing brand, announced a new partnership with SHIFT UP to publish Project Spirits, the studio’s upcoming cross-platform title. The agreement sets both companies on a clear path to create a game positioned for the next wave of major global releases, with a shared focus on quality and long-term support.
SHIFT UP and Tencent affiliate Yongxing Interactive are developing Project Spirits for PC, consoles, and mobile using Unreal Engine 5. Yongxing Interactive contributes a team of industry veterans from leading ACG-focused studios, and their experience strengthens the project’s technical foundation while shaping a clear creative direction.
Level Infinite and SHIFT UP deepen their collaboration with this new deal. Their first joint effort, GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE, reached a worldwide audience and built a dedicated community that continues to grow. With Project Spirits, both teams plan to build on that success and refine their production pipeline to deliver a more ambitious game with broader appeal.
Level Infinite draws directly from SHIFT UP’s achievements with titles such as NIKKE and Stellar Blade to shape a publishing strategy aimed at global reach. Both companies now share responsibilities for publishing and joint development, creating a unified framework that supports every stage of production. Their expanded partnership positions Project Spirits as a major release in the making as they prepare to introduce the game to players around the world.
