Stellar Blade: Complete Edition is officially coming to Switch 2 in 2026 and, to help with the wait, we're sharing over five minutes of gameplay from this upcoming version and our chat with Dong-ki Lee, CTO at Shift Up, about what it took to bring this action-adventure title to Nintendo fans.
We had the chance to speak to Lee at gamescom, and he began by sharing what fans can expect when the long-awaited port of Stellar Blade arrives later this year. Oh, and you can check out the new look at gameplay on Switch 2 below!
"As you know, Stellar Blade first released on PlayStation in 2024 and then PC the year after," Lee said. "Within that year gap, we added a lot of content, including two DLCs, additional outfits, and more seasonal content and events. Now, this is all coming to Switch 2 in one complete edition."
We enjoyed our time with Stellar Blade, in large part due to the "rock solid fundamentals of its Sekiro-inspired combat system, a deep well of hideous monstrosities to sharpen your sword against, and plenty of hidden goodies that do a great job of incentivizing exploration throughout."
If you played Stellar Blade on PS5 or just enjoy the DualSense's haptic feedback, you'll be happy to know the team translated it to Switch 2 in a very authentic way.
"If we had just tried to recreate the data for it to work on Switch 2 for HD Rumble, we wouldn't have been able to offer the same experience," Lee noted. "What we did was take the exact same data that we use for PlayStation 5 and convert it to fit HD Rumble on Switch 2. So, what you're feeling is actually the exact same gameplay experience that you would feel on PlayStation 5."
Beyond that, Lee confirmed Stellar Blade on Switch 2 includes touchscreen support, gyro mode, and even mouse controls.
"We wanted to ensure the player can play exactly how they want," Lee said. "And this is all while keeping and maintaining the beauty of the game and the experience that it gives."
