Stellar Blade

Stellar Blade is a story-driven action RPG from SHIFT UP. EVE returns with the 7th Airborne Squad to an Earth devastated by the Naytiba and tries to bring humanity back.

The game combines linear story missions with larger exploration areas around Xion, the Wasteland and the Great Desert. Choices can affect the course of the story, up to different endings.

Stellar Blade first released on April 26, 2024 for PlayStation 5. The PC version followed on June 11, 2025. The Nintendo Switch 2 Complete Edition launches in Europe on November 5, 2026; in Korea and Japan, the global launch falls on November 6 due to the time zone.

Stellar Blade is available natively on PlayStation 5 and PC. Nintendo Switch 2 follows in November 2026 as a Complete Edition with the main game and already released add-on content.

The Switch 2 version includes Joy-Con 2 motion controls for selected non-combat activities, among other things.

The combat system is built on fast melee combos, parries, perfect dodges, and Beta and Burst abilities. Exospines, equipment and several skill trees allow different builds, while boss fights rely heavily on timing and reactions.

The PC version adds unlocked frame rates, ultrawide support, DLSS 4, FSR 3, HDR and optional high-resolution textures, among other things.

A free Bayonetta collaboration launches with the Switch 2 version for Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and PC. EVE gets four new Couture outfits: Bayonetta, Nun, Jeanne and Black Tresses. Black Tresses is a new look designed by Kim Hyung-tae that deliberately reinterprets Bayonetta's style through the design language of Stellar Blade.

Earlier paid content such as the collaborations with NieR:Automata and GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE is already included in the Switch 2 Complete Edition.

The PC version requires at least Windows 10 64-bit, a Core i5-7600K or Ryzen 5 1600X, 16 GB RAM, a GTX 1060 with 6 GB or Radeon RX 580 with 8 GB, and 75 GB of storage.
