What It Took to Bring Stellar Blade: Complete Edition to Nintendo Switch 2 + Over 5 Minutes of Gameplay | gamescom 2026

Stellar Blade: Complete Edition is officially launching on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026, expanding the action-adventure title to a new platform. The announcement came during gamescom 2026 from Shift Up CTO Dong-ki Lee, accompanied by over five minutes of gameplay footage showcasing the Switch 2 version.

Originally released on PlayStation 5 in 2024, Stellar Blade subsequently launched on PC in 2025. During the intervening year, Shift Up significantly expanded the game with two DLCs, additional character outfits, and seasonal content. All of this accumulated material will be included in the Switch 2 version, providing players with the complete current state of the game rather than the base experience.

The Switch 2 port marks a significant expansion of Stellar Blade’s platform reach beyond PlayStation and PC ecosystems. The gameplay footage revealed at gamescom offers early insight into how the fast-paced action gameplay translates to Nintendo’s newest hardware, setting expectations for fans planning to play the Complete Edition when it releases later this year.
