Stellar Blade: New DLC Drops in a Few Days — What Can We Expect?
A hail of bullets, bold and stylish outfits, a fearsome boss, and a healthy dose of self-aware humor — the explosive collaboration between Stellar Blade and Goddess of Victory: Nikke is set to electrify players starting June 11. This spectacular and generous DLC delivers intense action and unapologetic fan service.
While we wait for the newly announced Stellar Blade 2, scheduled for 2026, Shift Up continues to breathe life into its universe with flair. And what better way to keep fans excited than with a top-tier DLC? Unveiled during the latest State of Play, this expansion inspired by Nikke: Goddess of Victory injects fresh energy and intensity into the original game, all while strengthening the franchise’s unique identity. Shift Up just released a new trailer offering a closer look at what this explosive partnership has in store.

A Collaboration as Fierce as It Is Stylish
The heart of this DLC lies in a brand-new game mode inspired by Nikke’s combat mechanics. Players will take control of EVE in tactical cover-based shooting sequences, reminiscent of a futuristic shooting range where adrenaline runs high. Two brand-new environments will serve as battlegrounds for these high-octane fights, with the added bonus of aerial support from allies to turn the tide in critical moments.
But that’s not all — Volt, the beloved robotic dog returns as a wandering vendor, bringing both charm and utility to spice up the missions.
Iconic Skins for EVE
Customization fans are in for a treat. This DLC lets EVE don the outfits of several iconic Nikke heroines:
- Rapi, with her clean and efficient military style,
- Anis, always ready to fire with a big smile,
- Alice, never seen without her signature bunny plush,
- And Modernia, briefly teased but already making a strong impression.
A silhouette resembling Dorothy has also been spotted in the teasers, sparking speculation among die-hard fans.
A Fierce Boss Battle… with a Dash of Humor
The grand finale? A brand-new boss fight against Scarlet, taking place in a breathtaking arena nestled in a bamboo forest. This encounter promises to be both technically challenging and unforgettable, with intense melee gameplay offering a stark contrast to the shooting sequences.
And because Shift Up never does anything halfway, the trailer wraps up on a lighter note with the appearance of Doro, a walking meme guaranteed to earn a few chuckles from eagle-eyed players.
See You on June 11
This additional content will launch alongside the long-awaited PC version of Stellar Blade. No need for a powerhouse setup to enjoy it — assuming the regional lockout issues are resolved in time.
One thing’s clear: with its reinvented gameplay, bold references, and explosive fan service, this crossover is designed to leave a mark.
