Shift Up will release the Switch 2 version of Stellar Blade on November 6, 2026, CEO and director Kim Hyung-tae said in an interview. The port ships alongside a Bayonetta collaboration costume for protagonist Eve, which Kim tied to the Switch 2 release. He said the team targeted 60 frames per second in most scenes and aimed to match the experience of other platforms.
SHIFT UP officially announced the sequel to its 2024 action game Stellar Blade during the Summer Game Fest 2026 livestream on June 6. The new title is called Stellar Blade: Bloodrain (also styled Stellar Blade BLOOD RAIN). The trailer showed stylish action scenes and cutscenes with high-fidelity graphics. Multiple sources identify the protagonist as a short-haired woman named Evie, while one source suggests the character may be Lily, the mechanic who supported protagonist Eve in the first game. The footage reportedly uses in-game scenes from the PC version. SHIFT UP has not yet released detailed information about the story, release platforms, or launch window. The announcement was part of the Summer Game Fest 2026 showcase, which streamed at 6:00 AM Japan time.
