Zany merchant Emil from NieR: Automata will set up shop in the world of Stellar Blade from 20th November, bringing 11 all-new cosmetic items to the title.
This anticipated collaboration, announced earlier in the year, is being pitched as a crossover marked by the “mutual respect” between Shift Up’s Kim Hyung Tae and industry veteran Yoko Taro. NieR has previously featured in the Korean dev’s mobile game Nikke: Goddess of Victory as well.
It’s unclear whether the new NieR: Automata content is free, but we’ll check in with PlayStation to try and get confirmation.
In addition to the crossover content, Stellar Blade will also be getting four new outfits and an additional accessory. The latter will change the look of Tachy Mode, which is pretty neat. The long-awaited Photo Mode, with a ton of functionality including the ability to position and pose characters, will finally be added, too.
There’ll also be lip-syncing for six more languages, including French, Spanish, Italian, German, and Portuguese. Moreover, there’ll be some quality of life gameplay improvements designed to smooth out the experience for everyone.
It’s worth noting Stellar Blade was recently updated for PS5 Pro and utilises the new system extremely well, offering a “gigantic leap” in image quality over the base console.
“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,” Shift Up’s Dong Ki Lee wrote on the PS Blog. “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.”

Let's go! Can't wait for all the new outfits! A shame we're not getting a couple of new levels, but it's all good.
Finally something relevant to the story
@get2sammyb will all of this content be here to stay or is any of it timed? I lent my copy to a buddy and i want to know if i need to get it back sharpish or if i will be safe 😂
LET'S GOOOOOOO
@Kidfunkadelic83 I can't imagine this will be timed, I think you're good!
Genuinely love the game, it was such a blast to play. I'll have to hop back in to get the Nier stuff.
Can't wait for Shift Up to announce a possible pc port in the future. Playing this with native ultrawide would be really nice.
Looks fantastic. Love seeing South Korea & Japan colab day 1 regardless if is free or cost money!
@Kidfunkadelic83 None of it will be timed, no. In fact, they even made the summer event thing permanent in the end.
Well, I know what game I'm playing that week.
Sweet news especially if it’s free.
Of course happy to support the devs if it’s not!
@get2sammyb awsome. I never got round to that. My mates had it for 3 months and just started it 😂
I really want nier automata 2 with stellar blade engine on ps5, I think it will be glorious 😃
At least something good happened this month.
Can’t wait to play this on my pro when it turns up!
@wiiware hopefully platinum games are working on the next nier with square Enix 🙏🙏🙏
A nice time to start new game on hard.
Yay, it's finally coming! I played through the games twice but will surely come back to play with this dlc and have fun with the photo mode - the game might have been surrounded by another kind of discourse but I loved the silliness of Eve striking a pose when she finds a new can and other little goofy touches.
Can't freaking wait.
Bit bummed nothing new in terms of like quests or enemies, even areas it seems. But I'm glad it wasn't just a 2b outfit. Can't wait to see all the new cosmetics in action and in photo mode
@Dalamar this is what ive been waiting on. Ive got 1 more trophy to get the plat and itrevolves around one of the endings. Ive been putting off my hard playthrough until there were a good few more things to unlock. I think ive still got a few of the origional costumes that i missed from my first play throughs and all of the ones from this and the last DLC. That photo mode will be getting used alot too. I love this game.
@Kidfunkadelic83 Already seen all endings and got the platinum, now I'll just try to get as far as possible on hard without ng+ bonuses, that gotta be brutal.
Well the next ultimate thing would be for Nier Automata to receive a PS5 pro patch that allows you to play as EVE.
Best news of the day!
@Kidfunkadelic83 I let my buddy borrow my PS4 Pro until he got his 5 in 2020… still don’t have that back 🤣
@IamJT reminds me of when i lent my copy of Illusion of time for the SNES to my mate back in the 90s. He had it for about a year and when i went to get it off him he had traded it in towards another game. 😂😂
Fanservice³. Nice.
Jumping back in the game on the 20th.
Let the cheeks be unleashed 😆😆😆😆
I'm anticipating for this, more than any other game coming out this year.😂
One nice collab.👌
@Judal27
Yeah, I was hoping for some story stuff. This is still cool, though, and it's free, which is nice, could've easily made some $ from this if they wanted to.
This sounds too good to be true! Is a fifth playthrough in my near future? Why yes!
@AndyKazama Yup, nier automata is one of their best seller on ps4 so I don't understand why squareenix didn't make nier automata 2, instead break-up yoko taro and platinum to make card game and mmo games. Nier automata 2 exclusive for current-gen ps5 and pc will be cool as heck
Wish there was an expansion instead—this game is just too good! Outfits are cool though.
And still no fix for the sound with Dolby Atmos configured in the settings of the console. With Dolby Atmos on the sound is just a single speaker channel. You have to have it on PCM or use headphones. Still a great game otherwise.
Played it through on story mode, now replaying on normal and it totally changes the combat. Now the combat really hurts.
