Neowiz and Shift Up are expanding their console intellectual property (IP) games, 'Lies of P' 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 increase their global user base.
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.
Neowiz plans to launch 'Lies of P: Complete Edition' for the Nintendo Switch 2 on August 6. This edition will combine the main game 'Lies of P' with the downloadable content (DLC) 'Lies of P: Prelude.' Shift Up also plans to release the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the action-adventure game 'Stella Blade' later this year.
'Lies of P,' developed by Neowiz's Round8 Studio, was released on PC and consoles including PlayStation and Xbox in September 2023. Despite being a new IP, it has achieved significant success in the global console market, with cumulative sales reaching 4 million copies.
Choi Ji-won, the director of 'Lies of P,' expressed hope that more fans around the world will be able to enjoy the game across various platforms.
'Versions of Stella Blade are expected to be popular globally. Initially planned for PC, Xbox, and PS4, it was later released as a PS5 exclusive in April 2024 due to a contract with Sony. The PC version followed a year later, with total sales exceeding 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,' remarked on the significance of reaching more users through the Nintendo Switch 2, stating, "We will ensure that players can fully experience the unique action and immersion on this new platform."
