Shift Up’s action is on its way to Nintendo’s console
Stellar Blade is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 later this year.
The news was announced during the latest Nintendo Direct presentation, confirming that Shift Up‘s action game will be released on Nintendo‘s system in 2026.
“Step into the role of EVE, an elite warrior sent to reclaim Earth from mysterious forces,” Nintendo said. “Experience intense combat and a twisting plot as you unravel the mysteries of Earth’s downfall in an immersive sci-fi world.
“Featuring a blend of cinematic storytelling and gameplay, Stellar Blade offers deep character progression with customizable skills, gear, and combat builds – which you’ll need during epic boss encounters. Further, players can experience Joy-Con 2 motion controls for activities, adding an extra layer of immersion to moments away from combat.”
Back in May, Shift Up hinted that the original Stellar Blade may be coming to other formats, saying it was “actively exploring further platform expansion”.
It was reported back in June 2025 that Shift Up was working on a Nintendo Switch 2 port of the game, following its massive Steam success, but nothing had been officially confirmed until today.
After months of hinting, Shift Up finally officially revealed the sequel to Stellar Blade, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain, last week.
Stellar Blade 2 Blood Rain continues the story of the first game and stars a new protagonist, the developer revealed during Summer Game Fest.
