Stellar Blade’s Nier: Automata DLC Coming Later This Month

Stellar Blade’s next DLC is a “fantastic” collaboration with Nier: Automata and will be released on November 20.

In a post on the PlayStation Blog, Shift Up technical director and CTO DongKi Lee stated that Nier had “significantly inspired” Stellar Blade, and that the collaboration between Stellar Blade director Kim Hyung Tae and Nier: Automata director Yoko Taro was “marked by mutual respect and creativity” and “led to this successful outcome.”

“At the center of all this is Emil (voiced by Maii Kadowaki), the strange character from Nier: Automata,” Lee wrote. “Emil’s Shop makes a surprise appearance in the world of Stellar Blade, where eleven different special collaboration items will be available. Items that intertwine the best of both games, taking you to a more enriched world.”

There’s more to come too, including a new patch introducing four new outfits and a new accessory, Symbol of Legacy, which changes the look and presentation of Tachy mode.

You’ll also be able to give Eve a haircut (there’s a new “no ponytail” option), as well as a brand new photo mode where Eve can pose with her friends.

Sony and developer Shift Up are being sued by Louisiana-based film production company Stellarblade, which alleges trademark infringement following the release of this year’s PS5 action-adventure game, Stellar Blade.
