Shift Up, the South Korean studio behind action title Stellar Blade, has published a live-action launch trailer for Stellar Blade: Complete Edition on the Switch 2 platform.
The trailer arrives as the Complete Edition debuts on Switch 2, extending the game's platform life beyond its original console release.
Stellar Blade first launched on PlayStation 5 in May 2024 and drew attention for its combat systems and exploration-focused design.
The trailer centers on a single, bold tagline — "Take EVE everywhere" — a clear nod to the Switch 2's portable hardware.
In journalistic terms: the trailer frames the game's protagonist, EVE, as a portable experience, emphasizing the idea that players can carry the action wherever the Switch 2 goes.
The live-action spot pairs that portability message with a series of offbeat domestic vignettes; one sequence shows the character interrupting a player's routine in a way that underscores the campaign's tongue-in-cheek approach to advertising.
The new trailer also makes distinct presentation choices.
It uses a 4:3 aspect ratio rather than widescreen, a retro-leaning framing decision that departs from typical cinematic game ads.
Observers have noted the ratio is unconventional for a modern launch trailer and contributes to the spot's unusual, stylized tone.
Critically, our review team awarded Stellar Blade a 7/10 after its initial release on PS5, praising the game's combat and exploration while noting that visuals and performance did not always meet expectations.
The Complete Edition for Switch 2 retains the series' core gameplay strengths and aims to bring those systems to a portable audience.
From a distribution standpoint, the Switch 2 release positions the Complete Edition for sale through Nintendo's digital storefront and retail channels for the platform.
Shift Up's decision to produce a live-action trailer follows a growing trend of studios using short-form, cinematic ads to highlight platform-specific selling points such as portability on Nintendo hardware.
For players tracking platform availability, Stellar Blade: Complete Edition is now available on Switch 2.
Fans interested in the release can check the Switch 2 eShop for purchase details and patch notes released by Shift Up.
As the game reaches new hardware, the trailer serves as both a marketing play and a reminder of the title's focus on action-oriented combat and exploration.
