Dressing Eve as 2B Won't Be Free in Stellar Blade's PS5 DLC

How much would you pay?

Yes, You'll Have to Pay to Dress Eve as 2B in Stellar Blade's PS5 DLC 1

Shift Up’s post-release support for Stellar Blade has been so strong many wondered whether the game’s forthcoming NieR Automata add-on would be free. It’s since confirmed on social media that this is a paid add-on, although it hasn’t confirmed how much it’ll cost just yet.

Due out on 20th November, the Yoko Taro crossover content will add Emil as a new merchant, who will flog you 11 new outfits and accessories inspired by the legendary PS4 RPG. These include looks based on 2B and A2.

To further clarify, only the NieR Automata content will be paid; the other updates due out on the same day – including Photo Mode and four other costumes – will be free for everyone who owns the game. So even if you don’t plan to purchase the DLC, there’s something to look forward to.

It would have been cool if developer Shift Up had been able to add a couple of new levels and enemies to the title to really make this crossover pop, but we’re looking forward to kitting out Eve – who’s got a new body double, by the way – with some fresh looks all the same.

Sorry to be an annoying downer but........Is anyone else absolutely sick and tired of 2B at this point? Like she's been shoehorned into bloody everything this past borderline decade and here now she's even in a crappy bootleg of the game she's from I'm just tired of seeing her. And Eve too she's one of the worst and dullest characters in any game I've ever played this game has nothing to offer besides coomer bait make no mistake I'm not anti cheesecake but a game needs more than that

That's fine, take all my money Shift Up. Literally cannot wait for this.

Yeah guessed it wouldn't be, hopefully it isn't too expensive.

Anyone know if it's more than just costumes? Is there missions?

@Keyblade-Dan I liked Stellar blade and finished it. Eve wasn't an exciting character but she wasn't that bad.

@Keyblade-Dan "I don't understand why this game is good, therefore it is in fact a bad game" is a take I still can't believe I see as often.

Just learn to enjoy thIngs people, and possibly more importantly allow others to enjoy things.

Hope Stellar Blade fans enjoy the update!

For the amount of content Shift up have given us for free, I am more than happy to pay for the Nier DLC, I'm guessing £8-£10

@Keyblade-Dan A little bit, yes, but 2B is an undeniably good character design.

I agree they've maybe watered down the character a little bit by shoving her into everything, but it's not like they're ever going to actually make a sequel lol.

@Keyblade-Dan That’s a lot of words for “I don’t understand why people like a thing I don’t like.”

I mean ... $2? New outfits are cool, but playing dress-up isn't really the primary focus for me. Cool crossover content for fans, obviously. I can see this being closer to $10. Ehhh, I'll hedge my bets at $7.99.

Looking forward to giving this game a go when it's $30 or less.

Welp I guess I should've expected that, I think that's what they said before launch that some cross over stuff could be paid dlc? But still I was hoping it would be free considering they're just outfits. So there goes my plans to replay with the nier update as soon as it launched. I'll probably buy it later on down the line and hopefully it'll be on a sale too by then

Finished the game a week ago. It was fun enough. Saw plenty of side boob already. Yawn. Sold it to GameStop for credit to put toward a Pro. No interest in playing further dress up.

I have to try the demo for this and see if it’s for me, my view of the game itself has been warped by all the twitter pervs online but that’s not fair to the devs so I’ll definitely give it a go as it looks similar to Nier Automata which I love, also fitting timing now the 2B dlc is out!

Great game, I’m just disappointed that the NieR Automata DLC is cosmetics only. Was really hoping for a new level or two. Nevermind, Stellar Blade was still one of my favourite gaming experiences of 2024. Guess I’ll wait to see pricing before deciding whether or not to grab the new content.

As expected, Square probably wouldn't have agreed to the collab otherwise.

I am more than happy to pay for this.

@Gunnerzaurus The people who probably liked your comment criticize people for playing DA The Veilguard, Dustborn and other games like that, but I do agree with your overall message, even though there's a lot of hypocrisy in here.

At least 2B looks great in this game unlike what Ubisoft did to her in R6 where she looks like a man cosplaying as her and iirc it's 5 bucks 🤦‍♂️

@DonJorginho
And the Pro version looks much better and runs at around 80fps. I took a look at it a couple of days ago - I had to manually select the new mode though.

Disappointed that the DLC is cosmetic only. Some fresh gameplay would have been good. A couple of side chapters or something but i will pay for it. This dev deserves my money for delivering me my GOTY and enough free content since its release

@DonJorginho you should do mate. Despite the fan service and kinda watery story its a bloody good game and bug free to boot. The combat is really fun and snappy imo and the bosses are really cool too. Defenately worth a peak, even if it turns out not to be for you.

at some point I have to buy that game too. played the demo and this one song doesn‘t get out of my head anymore, I hear it every time.

@Kidfunkadelic83 yeah the combat seems really good and the music I’ve heard? bloody phenomenal, I’ll try the demo later tonight and then I guess we’ll see whether the backlog gets any larger 🤣

@Kidfunkadelic83 They are working on an expansion already! personally I would rather them work on Stellar Blade 2 now, but with the PC port coming it makes sense.

@PuppetMaster Is that a 5 o'clock shadow? 😂😂

I wouldn't say "Dressing" is the right word.

@DonJorginho I played the demo when it was realised. The game wasn't on .y radar at all. After the demo I asked my wife to get me it for my birthday (the week after the full game released.

It was my game of the year until astro bot came out

@MeanBeanEgg Of course, it goes both directions

Live and let live! Too many joy suckers out there

Smart business move. Can’t knock them for that. As distasteful as I may personally feel it is, that’s exactly what I’d have done if I were them!

I’ve not bought the game yet and the Pro upgrades look good.

Simple solution for me is to wait for the game to come down in price such that I can buy 2B and still save money.

@Keyblade-Dan Nope and I think Eve is fine but her and the other characters definitely need more development in the story.

Im fine with it, they gave us plenty of free content and the game itself is fun

Unless it's outrageously overpriced I'll pick up the costumes. And even if they are overpriced I won't be mad. Plenty of awesome costumes to use it if the box in the game already.
