Neowiz and Shift Up are expanding their console intellectual property games, 'P's Lies' and 'Stella Blade', to the Nintendo Switch 2. After targeting the global market primarily through PC and PlayStation (PS) and Xbox platforms, they are now broadening their lineup to include the Nintendo Switch 2, aiming to enhance their global user engagement.
According to the gaming industry on June 10, Neowiz and Shift Up announced during the official Nintendo online showcase, 'Nintendo Direct 2026', that they will release versions of their games for the Nintendo Switch 2. Both 'P's Lies' and 'Stella Blade' have achieved success in the global PC and console markets.
Neowiz plans to launch 'P's Lies: Complete Edition' for the Nintendo Switch 2 on August 6. This edition will combine the main game 'P's Lies' with the downloadable content (DLC) 'P's Lies: Prelude'. Shift Up also intends to release the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the action-adventure game 'Stella Blade' later this year.
Developed by Neowiz's Round8 Studio, 'P's Lies' was released in September 2023 for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. Despite being a new intellectual property, it has recorded cumulative sales of 4 million copies in the global console market.
Choi Ji-won, the director of 'P's Lies', expressed hope that "more global fans will be able to enjoy 'P's Lies' through additional platforms."
'Verified as a global hit, 'Stella Blade' was initially set to launch on PC, Xbox, and PS4, but due to an exclusive agreement with Sony, it was released for PS5 in April 2024. A year later, it was made available for PC, achieving total sales of over 6 million copies, including 3.7 million on consoles and 2.4 million on PC. The upcoming release for the Nintendo Switch 2 will further diversify the platforms for 'Stella Blade'.
Kim Hyung-tae, the director of 'Stella Blade', stated, "It is meaningful for 'Stella Blade' to reach more users through the Nintendo Switch 2, and we will ensure that players can fully experience its unique action and immersion on the new platform."
