Stellar Blade’s Nier: Automata DLC and Photo Mode out November 20th

Stellar Blade's Nier Automata DLC and Photo Mode will be released on November 20th, 2024.

As announced over at the official PlayStation Blog, the DLC will add Emil's Shop to the game, where players will be able to purchase Nier Automata inspired items. These items include cosmetic costumes and other Nier callbacks.

Along with the Nier content, a new accessory will be added to the game as well. This accessory called the "Symbol of Legacy" will change the appearance of Tachy Mode, providing additional costumes. A new "no ponytail" option is now available in option menu also to allow players to further customize the main character.

Besides the new cosmetics, the Photo Mode launches the same day as the Nier DLC, and will allow players to take pictures, and customize characters and their poses.

Here's what the PlayStation Blog had to say about the update:

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.
