Overview
- Shift Up released Stellar Blade: Complete Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 and simultaneously issued update 1.015 (console) / 1.5.0 (PC), making the game available on Switch 2, PS5 and PC.
- The free Bayonetta crossover adds four NanoSuit outfits (Bayonetta, Jeanne, Nun, Black Tresses) plus Bayonetta’s and Nun’s glasses and Bayonetta’s and Jeanne’s earrings for all players.
- The launch patch fixes several bugs including a stalled side‑quest after obtaining two Memory Sticks, Emil getting stuck on a cliff in the southern Wasteland, EVE’s hairstyle missing in equipment screens, Adam’s Data Bank entry, cosmetic switching inconsistencies, and Steam Deck controller icon mappings.
- Early reviews dated Nov. 5 praise the Switch 2 port for preserving Stellar Blade’s combat and for strong HD Rumble implementation but note visual downgrades, a 720p handheld / 1080p docked target, and reliance on frame generation to hit 60 FPS that can introduce added input latency.
- Shift Up promoted the launch with a live‑action trailer and is using crossovers and post‑launch patches to extend the game’s lifecycle while the studio continues work on the sequel, Blood Rain.
