'Stellar Blade' Complete Edition For Nintendo Switch 2 Will Be Playable At Tokyo Game Show 2026

Project EVE is an action game where you play as Eve fighting off unknown invaders called NA-tives, and reclaim the lost Earth after its collapse.

In the not-too-distant future, mankind is expelled from Earth after losing the battle against the invaders called the NA:tives. To win back Earth, the player becomes Eve, the survivor of the paratrooper squad deployed from the Colony, who must fight through powerful enemies with new comrades. We invite you to join Eve’s adventure in the face of unknown creatures on a desolate, destroyed Earth.

The Earth, embodied with such graceful graphics that take full advantage of today's technology, will convey unprecedented vibes that stand out from other post-apocalyptic worlds. As you accompany Eve throughout the game, you get one step closer to the secret hidden in this unusual world. Combat in Eve is deliberate – including attack, defense, and evasion – while remaining fluid and zestful. The only way to survive is to grasp the attack patterns of various enemies and counter with precise timing. 

Continue the flow of battle after parrying and evading by weaving in multiple combo skills. Taking down enemies culminates in a spectacular and amusing display of power. The DualSense wireless controller’s haptic feedback amplifies this experience by manyfold. From the sensation of the blade slicing into the enemy to the exceptional skills that tingle your hands. We can’t wait to reveal new weapons that vividly showcase the DualSense controller’s features in the future. 

Developer Shift Up announced that Stellar Blade  Complete Edition for Nintendo Switch  2 will be playable by the public for the very first time at Tokyo Game Show 2026, taking place from Thursday 17 to Monday 21 September at Makuhari Messe, Chiba.

Visitors to the SEGA/ATLUS booth (Hall 4/04-N01), where SEGA, the distributor of the physical edition in Japan, will feature the title in its SEGA Partners area, with six playable stations. This will mark the world’s first opportunity for the general public to go experience EVE's journey on Nintendo Switch  2, ahead of the game's release later in 2026.

To celebrate the arrival of Stellar Blade Complete Edition on Nintendo Switch 2, Shift Up CEO and Stellar Blade creator Kim Hyung Tae will make a special appearance on the SEGA/ATLUS booth stage on Sunday 20 September JST. The session will be held in Korean with Japanese interpretation.

For those unable to attend the show in person, the session will be broadcast live on SEGA Japan's official YouTube channel, allowing fans to enjoy the event online.

Eve will do more than slay enemies with style in her adventure. Master the terrain by scaling walls, sliding tactically, swinging on ropes, and more. As you make your way through this environment utilizing diverse actions, try exploring and acquiring treasures hidden throughout the world! 

As the game progresses, Eve acquires skills and items, growing stronger and stronger. Acquire Beta Gauge (BG) by parrying and evading in combat. You can then use BG to gain skills like piercing super armor, execute sweeping attacks, interrupt enemy combos, and more. Eve also has a Burst Gauge which accumulates with successive parries and combos, which can be used to activate buffs and powerful attacks like a leaping stab. You can also look forward to finding stylish costumes throughout the game to change Eve’s look. 

Currently available for PC and PS5, Stellar Blade is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 later in 2026
