This is according to an article from a Korean website called PlayForum.net. Shift Up reportedly has Switch 2 dev kits, but they have said that nothing has been confirmed for a Switch 2 port. They may just be considering a Switch 2 port of Stellar Blade instead of actively developing it.

 

[Mr Hyde]

The CEO gifted all of his employees a Switch 2 because of Stellar Blades success on PC and console. I think that's a pretty subtle (or maybe blatant) hint at where this game is headed next.

It would make a ton of sense - and in Palpatine's words - 'XBOX, now your failure is COMPLETE'

1st thing I thought of. He did the same thing for his employees with PS5s.

 

[jufonuk]

Is the game any good ?

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

IMO there's no correlation between the presents and the alleged port. I mean, they already gifted a PS5 and a Pro, there are no more PS5s to give away. Switch is the next logical option.

Their next project though, that will release on Switch 2 100%.

This game requires 60fps to feel good so unless they can perform technical wizardry with the switch 2 cpu and ram to get this thing running at a locked 60fps, then it'll be a terrible experience on switch 2 truthfully.

You can always dial down the assets. Did you see the initial version of Ark on OG Switch?

 

[LordCBH]

This is PCGamer's 9/11

 

[TintoConCasera]

Good news for the nintendo people. Game seemed to run nice on the Deck already so it should be smooth sailing on the S2.

Is the game any good ?

Yes, it's fun. Linear levels with some exploration, combat that feels like a mix of character action game with Sekiro without feeling as good as the later, good music and sexy characters.

Bro people actually play and enjoy games that look and run like that?????? My face during the video was literally ur profile pic lol.

Oh I'm pretty sure the people who played that version (it was made better later on with patches, still quite lacking though) were not enjoying themselves that much. Just that, a port can be done.

It's super well optimized on PC and runs very well on lower end hardware like Steam Deck. A good Switch 2 port without too many sacrifices shouldn't be a problem for the devs.

 

[Jacobson]

this won't sell because people will complain they can't use their goon mods

 

[Scrawnton]

Is the game any good ?

It can be rough around the edges. Smooth around other edges. Depends on what you're looking for.

 

[VolticArchangel]

No surprises there.

Not a coincidence that the CEO gave Switch 2's to all his employees, just he did with the PS5's given away after the State of Play confirmation that it was coming to PS5.

If it runs on Steam Deck it can run on Switch 2, with DLSS.

Ya i hears the PC port was phenomenal which is rare nowadays sadly. I do think they're great devs who will optimize the crap out of this game for Switch 2 and that it'll end up running great if it comes to it.

 

[Sebastian1295]

DLSS kicks ass. And i do think they can probably get this game running at 60fps locked with visual and resolution cutbacks and then just use DLSS like you said to cover up alot of the visual flaws.

Pretty much this.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Glad I waited.

Yes.

Exactly. Stellar Blade isn't exactly a CPU intensive game so as long as the CPU can cover it (with appropriate optimizations) DLSS Can do most of the heavy lifting.

 

[nbkicker]

Will deffo buy for a third time if this is true, love the game and happy to support the developers on this

 

[CJ_75]

1st thing I thought of. He did the same thing for his employees with PS5s.

Female workers at Shift Up received a free boob job and latex outfits. A subtle hint what Stellar Blade would become.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Guau!!

 

[Fake]

Good. More people to play this game.

 

[Scrawnton]

Zero Suit Eve preorder bonus and I'm there.

 

[nial]

Sounds as likely as Bayonetta 3 releasing on PS5.

 

[Sebastian1295]

Here's an update on this. Shift up confirmed that this was a mistake and that stellar blade isn't confirmed for the switch 2.

No surprise, it's a Sony first-party game after all.
If anything, it's more likely for Project Spirits.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Oh nice, I was thinking about getting this for Steam Deck but now I don't know if I hold out for Switch 2 release.

 

[proandrad]

The bayonetta dlc for the Stella blade switch 2 release is going to be fire.

 

[nial]

Nah, look above, just go and buy it on Steam.

The bayonetta dlc for the Stella blade switch 2 release is going to be fire.

This can actually happen on every platform, btw.

You just summed up everything wrong with the modern gaming industry and developers

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Good. The further they get this franchise away from sony, the better.

 

[Esppiral]

Is the game any good ?

No, it has tits though.

 

[Saber]

That would explain the Switch 2 rewards to employees.
I say this pretty great if true.

 

[Humdinger]

I figured it would be too naughty for Nintendo. I'm not a Nintendo guy, though, so I don't really know.

Is the game any good ?

I'm liking it. It isn't anything ground-breaking, but it is a good-enough action game. Some of the level design feels a little confusing in the open areas, and the story isn't anything to write home about, but the combat is fun, exploration is interesting, and the graphics are sharp. I'm on PS5 Pro.

 

[ハトリス]

My groin is ready

Considering that Sony produced the 200k CCU Steam release, eh...

Oh how little you know
