Stellar Blade, the action-adventure game previously exclusive to PlayStation 5, has received an ESRB rating for the Nintendo Switch 2, confirming preparations are underway for its previously announced 2026 release. The rating follows last month's Nintendo Direct, which surprised fans by revealing the Korean-developed title was heading to Nintendo's console, though a specific release date has still not been confirmed.

The ESRB has rated the game 'M' for Mature 17+, citing blood and gore, language, suggestive themes and violence. The rating summary describes fast-paced melee combat with blades and guns, frequent blood-splatter effects, and cutscenes depicting dismemberment and decapitation, alongside revealing character costumes and mild language. Stellar Blade was developed by Shift Up and originally launched exclusively on PS5 in 2024 with Sony's backing.
