Shift Up’s new “Environments” trailer offers another look at the places EVE will travel through in Stellar Blade Complete Edition, rather than revealing a new story chapter. The game’s premise remains a mission to reclaim a post-apocalyptic Earth, and the Switch 2 edition is set to launch on November 5, 2026 in Western regions and November 6 in Japan and Korea.

What the environments trailer shows
The trailer highlights the range of locations in the game’s ruined world. Nintendo’s description points to desolate city ruins and mysterious landscapes, while the trailer coverage describes a variety of settings EVE and her companions cross in the fight for Earth.

That world has been devastated by creatures called the Naytiba. Humanity’s surviving population has fled to a space colony, and EVE, a member of the 7th Airborne Squad, descends to Earth with the mission of reclaiming the planet and saving humankind.

A limited SteelBook option is also being offered through participating retailers. Target lists its SteelBook edition at $69.99 and describes it as including the physical game on a 32GB cartridge; that is a retailer listing, not the standard edition price.

Demo and frame-generation option
A free Switch 2 demo is available through the Nintendo eShop, so players can try the port ahead of launch.

Why the Switch 2 release matters
The Switch 2 version brings Stellar Blade to a Nintendo platform after releases on PS5 and PC.

35 Shift Up had reported more than three million copies sold across PS5 and PC by June 2025; the sources available here do not establish a newer official total.

The port is also distinct from the reported sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain: the Switch 2 release brings the existing game to a new platform, and the cited reporting gives no sequel release date.
