Alice, Dorothy, and More Star in the Stellar Blade Nikke DLC

The time has finally arrived. The Stellar Blade Nikke DLC is official! It’s been public knowledge for a while, but we now have a release month, which is June of this year. It coincides with the release of Stellar Blade’s PC port too, so it’s a win-win for all.

Learn more about Stellar Blade by visiting the game’s official website or if Nikke is completely new to you, there’s a website for that game too!

EVE Becomes Rapi?

Now, as someone who is a big fan of both Stellar Blade and Nikke, excitement is quite an understatement. The trailer for the collab doesn’t give much away, but we can see the upcoming Nikke-inspired outfits that EVE can wear, as well as some brand-new locations based on those seen in Nikke throughout the main story.

With the trailer opening with EVE dressed as Rapi from Nikke, one of the main characters, we see quick cuts to the real Rapi. Does EVE gain Rapi’s memories, perhaps? Or does this collaboration take place in an entirely different universe from Stellar Blade? The only thing that makes me reject the latter notion is that Adam’s floating robot appears in the trailer.

Additional Outfits and Character Appearances

Moving on, EVE is then spotted dressed as Scarlet, the sword-wielding Pilgrim from Nikke. This hints that we’re getting more than one outfit in the Stellar Blade Nikke DLC.

The next part of the trailer seems to be leaning in that direction, as we see EVE appearing as Alice, Anis, and Dorothy. And right after this, for a split second, we see what appears to be Modernia landing on the ground.

Stellar Blade May Be Coming to Nikke Too!

If you don’t know, Shift Up is behind both Stellar Blade and Nikke, so this collaboration has been a long time coming!

Like the Nier Automata DLC, it’s more than just a simple collab, so expect to see a bunch of new content to play through in both games. The promotional image within the trailer showcases EVE in Nikke too, which means there may be an upcoming event to celebrate!

I plan to keep an eye out for updates regarding this DLC, and I’ll make sure to report on them. With the release being set for June (with no specific date just yet), we’ll see more over the coming months, but for now, we can speculate.
