Stellar Blade arrives on Switch 2 as a Complete Edition with all of its DLC

Shift Up’s sci-fi action game Stellar Blade has reached a Nintendo console for the first time. Stellar Blade Complete Edition went on sale worldwide on November 5 as a Switch 2 download from the Nintendo eShop, and it packs the base game together with every crossover add-on released so far.
Stellar Blade debuted as a PlayStation exclusive and later came to PC. Players take the role of EVE, a soldier sent from a space colony to win back a ruined Earth from hostile alien creatures. The game alternates linear stages with semi-open zones such as the Wasteland and the Great Desert, and its fights revolve around light and heavy attack combos, well-timed parries and dodges, plus Beta and Burst skills fueled by energy collected in combat.
Included in this edition is the NieR:Automata collaboration, which brings Emil’s shop and outfits based on 2B and A2 for EVE. There is also the Goddess of Victory: Nikke crossover, where defeating Scarlet from Shift Up’s mobile shooter unlocks a costume, a hairstyle and a song. The newest addition is a Bayonetta collaboration with four outfits: Bayonetta, Jeanne, Nun and Black Tresses. Owners of the PlayStation and PC versions got that Bayonetta pack on the same day as a free update.
According to Nintendo, the Switch 2 version supports Joy-Con motion controls in side activities such as fishing, HDR on compatible TVs, and both handheld and tabletop play. Anyone unsure can download a free demo from the eShop first. Shift Up marked the launch with a live-action trailer and a new Arrange Tracks soundtrack album on streaming services.
For Nintendo’s console, the port is a useful signal. Stellar Blade is a visually demanding action game that never appeared on the first Switch, and its arrival adds to a growing list of big third-party releases that the newer hardware can now run.
