South Korean developer Shift Up has provided updates regarding the expansion of its ‘Stellar Blade’ franchise. In its Q2 2026 earnings report, the studio confirmed that development of a sequel, titled ‘Stellar Blade Blood Rain’, is “progressing smoothly,” though no release window has been established. The studio intends to self-publish the sequel to reach a global audience. Following initial reports of a Nintendo Switch 2 port for the original title, Shift Up released a trailer and key art for the ‘Stellar Blade Complete Edition’ for the Nintendo Switch 2. This version is expected to launch later in 2026 and will include support for Joy-Con 2 motion controls to enhance immersion. In August 2026, Shift Up further confirmed the ‘Stellar Blade Complete Edition’ release for the Nintendo Switch 2, noting that the version will include all DLC and utilize Joy-Con 2 motion controls for specific in-game activities. On August 24, 2026, the studio released a new trailer for the ‘Stellar Blade: Complete Edition’ on the Nintendo Switch 2, highlighting the title’s fast-paced combat and cinematic exploration.
