Stellar Blade’s Nier: Automata DLC, Photo Mode launch Nov 20

[John Elden Ring]

---

Hello, Stellar Blade fans! Thank you for your continued love and support. Stellar Blade’s journey was fueled by your passion, and our fans motivated us to face every challenge. We are excited to share two special announcements with you today.

Collaboration with Nier:Automata​

The moment you’ve been waiting for has finally arrived! A fantastic collaboration where the worlds of Stellar Blade and Nier:Automata meet.

Nier:Automata significantly inspired Stellar Blade. The collaboration between Director Kim Hyung Tae and Director Yoko Taro, marked by mutual respect and creativity, led to this successful outcome.

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

Click! More fun with Photo Mode​

You can now transform each moment in the game into your personal masterpiece. Beautiful landscape, thrilling battles, those emotional moments with the characters… Capture these moments to your heart’s content. Meticulous camera work and various filters allow you to create unique looks.

Go through different poses to discover new looks that you never knew Eve and her comrades had. Share these photographs of special moments to enjoy a new kind of amusement.

Patch updates you shouldn’t miss​

Four new costumes and one new accessory are added to bring more personality to the characters.

​


The new accessory, ‘Symbol of Legacy’ changes the appearance and presentation of the Tachy Mode when equipped. Revitalize your gaming experience with updated cosmetics.

Also, lip-sync support for six additional languages (French, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese, and Latin American Spanish) will let you enjoy the vivid dialogues even more.

Your camp break just got more fun—you can now pick a specific song from the turntable to listen to.

We also expanded character customization for Eve and added a “No Ponytail” feature to the list from Ponytail Length.

More fun is added to battle. Auto-targeting and ballistics correction features will be applied to the enemy insta-kill skills. This will make the already intense and dynamic battles even more exciting.

Paying back for all your support​

This DLC and patch updates were prepared by our dev team with one heart and one mind, and we are absolutely delighted to share this with you. We hope that the Nier:Automata collaboration items and the new Photo Mode will bring more joy to your gameplay. We will continue to do our best to keep up with the anticipation and love our players show us.

Stellar Blade updates arrive on PlayStation 5 on November 20, 2024. Prepare for an exciting new adventure.

Nier:Automata significantly inspired Stellar Blade.

I mean, they did rip off everything 1:1, including the story lol
Surprising (or not) to see that these are just skins and nothing more. The skins are very well done, but at this point It's kinda insulting that 7 years have passed and still no new game from Taro. The Replicant remake was cool, but cmon lol

I am though surprised It took them so long, If those are just like four skins. I mean - Emil shows up, so maybe there's something more. Interesting to see that we are getting a lot of collabs out of nowhere this year tho, maybe they are trying to hype up the NieR IP again before TGA?

BTW: I do wonder If the collab will have help the sales of this game lol
I doubt It will save It, but may boost It a little on Nov 20th. NieR is pretty big in Japan, so maybe It will help there a little, even If It's just skins.

Why do you say Stellar Blade needs saving? It sold pretty well and reviewed well despite some blue check marks rallying against it "for reasons."

It was an overall very impressive game, especially when you consider this is the first AAA console game from a mobile developer.

Did I miss something about the game underperforming or did Shift Up express disappointment in the game?

No, no, no. I just meant "saving" on the charts, as the game sold well on launch and then just dissapeared. The DLC could motivate the fanbase from nier to give It a try I suppose.
The game itself is okay I guess. Nothing special, 90% of the game were empty deserts, and most of the content was pretty mediocre. The story was just glued-together from other games. It didnt really try any new ideas, or try to expand on something that was already done.

We know that XDev helped on It, so I suppose they helped to carry the game through the end. Wasnt this in development for ages? They even said, that Sony was the one who actually managed to get it off devhell.

Her neck is what my balls will look like, 10 mins into a 2B photo mode session.

dear god

 

[Entropi]

Hell yeah! Let’s go!

 

[Gediminas]

How so?

no it isn't. including story.

Surprising (or not) to see that these are just skins and nothing more.

it isn't just skins.

at this point It's kinda insulting that 7 years have passed and still no new game from Taro.

how it is Stellar Blades fault?

The Replicant remake was cool

it was a remaster.

yet again, it isn't just four skins.

how is it out of nowhere? it was known for months now.

YOU GOD DAMN HOT SEXY WOMAN HATER.

Stop trying to force your choices of what you find good looking on us.

Happy now,

 

[Orangee]

no it isn't. including story.


it isn't just skins.


how it is Stellar Blades fault?

it was a remaster.

yet again, it isn't just four skins.

how is it out of nowhere? it was known for months now.

1. They did rip off the plot from other games, the main plot twist being literally the same as the one from NieR Replicant. We can make a whole thread for this If you want lol I can list all the stuff they ripped off from other games, including NieR. At least we will actually discuss games here for once haha

2. They literally stated that there are only skins here, and the more I see of them, the less I Like them. I mean, look at shit lol

(Of course, when Yoko Taro is involved then I wouldnt be surprised If they got something more in store for us. Maybe a quest explaining how Emil even got to this world? I dont want them to mess too much with the main lore anymore though.)

3. I never stated that It is SB's fault? I (as a fan) am slightly getting annoyed at this point (Not even me, just go look into the nier community) that we are getting fifty bilion collabs but YT doesnt address It's main, actual fanbase all that much anymore, while announcing yet another collab, hoping we, as a core fanbase, pay up and show up for his DLC.

4. No, It is not a remaster lol. You probably never played the OG, so you dont know how different It looked. They themselves even said that they called It "1.22" because It's a remake, but they dont want people to think that it's as big of a remake as FF7R that came out close to Replicant.
It's on a different engine with brand new textures. new combat, new models, and content, aswell as having redone voice lines from ground up, so It's not even a discussion here.

5. "how is it out of nowhere? it was known for months now." - That's not what I meant. Starting this year, we started having nier collabs again *out of nowhere*, since nothing was really happening with the IP since replicant came out, up until Reincarnation came out and flopped on mobile, and we got the first cours of the anime in 2023.
Now in 2024 we got the collab in the Granblue fighting game, the skins came back to PUBG, we also are getting this SB collab. We got the cours 2 of the anime, new lore in the End Of Data concert hinting at the new game, and strange tweets from Taro (Probably started drinking again, which he does when he writes new games).

BTW If you want to actually get into a fight with me about NieR, then be careful, as you stumbled upon the certified Yoko Taro media enjoyer & expert. I watched all of his stupid stage plays, so you are loosing this fight from ground up LMAO

I am ready for a WHOLE LOTTA tits and ass.

1. so you were wrong.
2. not only skins : In the center of all this is Emil (voiced by Maii Kadowaki), the strange character from Nier:Automata. Emil’s Shop makes a surprise appearance in the world of Stellar Blade where eleven different collaboration-special items will be available. Items that intertwine the best of both games, leading you to a more enriched world.
3. it least important part. it is a Stellar Blade game with Nier. but you made it up about Nier?
4. they called it ''updated version'' not Remaked version.
5. it isn't just 4 skins, the update include much more. but if you talk exclusively about Nier, maybe it is out of nowhere.

oh, so we measuring dick pics? here is mine

 

[KvallyX]

oh, so we measuring dick pics?

 

[Ezekiel]

This Sony first party game is looking mighty FINE

 

[CrackmanNL]

oh, so we measuring dick pics?

Side note Nier is basically inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelion. Creators take/iterate and Yoko is always honest about this and he gave Kim his blessings hence also the collab.

I hope it's not only dlc, cause we need a new game from Taro, I hope Sony/Nishino already threw a bag and he got Shift-Up working with him, on a fidelity level I see them do more on PS5. Would be fine with Platinum too as long as we get a game this gen.
