Another rumour has emerged today that suggests that Korean developer ShiftUp is planning to bring Stellar Blade to the Nintendo Switch 2. The company generously gifted its employees Nintendo Switch 2 consoles and a report on Korean PlayForum suggests that Stellar Blade is currently in development for Nintendo‘s latest console. Developer ShiftUp said on the forum that “nothing is confirmed” regarding the development of a Switch 2 version thought it said it was “reviewing various possibilities internally.”
Thanks to Greatsong1 for sending us the news tip!
Great news, this is one of my most wanted
It would be surprising since the game was published by… Sony…..
From what I heard, even though Sony is the publisher the Stellar Blade IP is actually fully owned by its creator ShiftUp, so once the contract with PlayStation expires, ShiftUp can release the game wherever it pleases.
Also, Sony launched Lego Horizon Adventures on the Switch (simultaneously with the game’s PS5 release) last year, so they’re no stranger to releasing games on Nintendo hardware.
Also, I know SB is also on PC. Should have wrote “once the contract with Sony…” instead of PlayStation.
It doesn’t mean anything, Sony does not see the PC as a competing platform. We’ll see, but I remain skeptical; we can’t compare this game to LEGO Adventure…
I’m not comparing SB to Lego Horizon Adventures specifically though, just pointing out the fact that Sony-published games has been on Nintendo earlier. Sony did also let Bandai Namco license franchises like Freedom Wars and Patapon for multi-releases earlier.
That would be awesome if it did.
Ooh this would be so cool! I really wanted to play it but it was only on PS5. Would 1000% buy it here!
