SHIFT UP and Level Infinite announced a global publishing deal for Project Spirits, the studio’s next major cross-platform title. The partnership expands their ongoing relationship and sets up another high-profile release after the global success of GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE.

Project Spirits targets PC, consoles, and mobile, and SHIFT UP builds it on Unreal Engine 5. The studio leads the creative direction, while Tencent affiliate Yongxing Interactive supports the game through co-development. Both teams want to deliver a polished experience across all platforms and ensure consistent quality throughout the project.

A New Collaboration After NIKKE’s Success

Level Infinite decided to collaborate with SHIFT UP again because NIKKE achieved strong global traction. That momentum showed Level Infinite that SHIFT UP can build world-class IPs with distinctive style and broad appeal. Because of this confidence, Level Infinite expanded its involvement and joined the new project much earlier.

Both companies see Project Spirits as a chance to push their partnership further. Instead of repeating what they did with NIKKE, they want to create a more ambitious release that takes advantage of each team’s strengths. Their joint effort aims to reach an even wider audience across multiple ecosystems.

A Co-Development Effort with Yongxing Interactive

SHIFT UP works closely with Yongxing Interactive to accelerate development. Yongxing contributes senior developers who specialize in ACG-focused games, and their expertise strengthens the technical structure of Project Spirits. This cooperation allows the teams to refine gameplay systems faster and maintain stronger production flow.

Yongxing’s background in large-scale projects also helps SHIFT UP shape a more stable pipeline for cross-platform optimization. With their support, the game can meet high performance standards on mobile devices while retaining advanced visual quality on PC and consoles.

Next-Gen Ambitions with SHIFT UP’s Proven Expertise

SHIFT UP plans to use Unreal Engine 5 to deliver high-end visuals, detailed environments, and fast-paced action. Level Infinite complements this effort with global publishing resources, long-term service planning, and international marketing support.

Both companies believe Project Spirits will build on the impact of NIKKE and represent a major step in their partnership. More updates will arrive as development progresses. For more updates, follow Level Infinite’s official X account.
