TheStellar BladeandNier: Automatacrossover DLC is on the way, with special items set to be available when the former game updates on November 20.
An announcement on thePlayStation Blogreveals that a shop run by Emil, the stone-faced, dead-eyed merchant that you may recognize as the maskNier: Automatacreator Yoko Taro wears out in public, will be available inStellar Blade. Players can then gain access to 11 new items. While the post doesn’t specify what they are, you can expect some familiar outfits.
Video game crossovers aren’t anything new, but this one is very appropriate.Stellar Bladewas heavily inspired byNier: Automata,which is a bit obvious once you realize they’re both games with fantasy-inspired postapocalyptic settings, frenetic combat, and stylish female protagonists.
“Nier: Automataleft a huge impression on me,”Stellar Bladedeveloper Kim Hyung-tae toldIGNahead of the game’s release. “It made me realize that a game like this could be made, and allowed me to rediscover the kind of game that I want to make.”
EachmajorStellar Bladeupdatehas also added new outfits for Eve, the main character, andNier: Automata‘s iconic visual design fits right in.
TheStellar Bladeupdate is also bringing along new poses for the photo mode, four new costumes, and a new accessory called Symbol of Legacy that changes the appearance of the Tachy Mode, the skill tree players access after a certain point in the game. Other small updates include lip sync support for six new languages, the ability to pick a song at camp, auto-targeting for instant kills, and a “No Ponytail” option under character customization.
