"Wow, What A View" - Shift Up Shows Off Stellar Blade's Stunning Photo Mode On Switch 2
"Focus on what's important". Stellar Blade will grace the Switch 2 next month, and ahead of the official launch, developer Shift Up has released a new trailer for this version, showcasing the game's Photo Mode. This will allow you to "transform each moment" into your own personal masterpiece. Attached to this mode are precise controls, dynamic filters, and custom lighting allows you to change the look of each shot. There's also an "expansive selection" of poses for Eve and the rest of her squad.
Stellar Blade's Switch 2 Release Will Include A Frame Generation Toggle
Shift Up has been listening to feedback. In case you missed it, a few upcoming Switch 2 releases will experiment with frame generation to help lift the action to 60fps. For Dragon's Dogma 2, the game's producer recently revealed there would be a toggle option to turn this feature on or off. Stellar Blade is the other game making use of it, but it was mandatory in the demo, so there is no option to change the setting.
Opinion: I Think I'm Missing Something About Stellar Blade On Switch 2
Not quite landing. I’ve been hearing a lot of hype around Stellar Blade - that is when fans haven’t been lamenting the sequel’s awful AI music video the creators decided was a good idea. I’d heard it was Bayonetta meets Dark Souls, with flashy, acrobatic movement, and carefully considered combat with tight timings. And considering it’s coming to Switch 2 and utilising new technology for the platform in the form of FSR frame generation, I thought we were going to be in for a grand old time. Read

Stellar Blade Still Not Finished, Four Free Bayonetta Costumes Coming to PS5
Original game will get "some changes" for sequel. Korean dev Shift Up showed off the Switch 2 version of Stellar Blade at the Tokyo Game Show last week, which I played and previewed for Nintendo Life.

'Nothing Is Impossible' - Stellar Blade Developer Responds To Demand For An Xbox Port
They say they just need time. It's been a weird week-or-so for Stellar Blade. A sequel to the highly popular PS5 and PC game was announced at the State of Play last week (called Stellar Blade: Blood Rain), and the developer hinted that it might be a multiplatform release. However, at the Nintendo Direct on Tuesday, the original game was announced for Switch 2 but not Xbox.
