Eve dressed as 2BSHIFT UP CORPORATION

Shift Up has revealed whether the Stellar Blade x Nier Automata DLC will be free or if players will need to pay to dress up as 2B.

The Stellar Blade Nier Automata DLC will be released globally on November 20, 2024 – giving players the chance to unlock 2B-inspired outfits for Eve. Aside from 2B’s default outfit, players can also get hold of A2’s default outfit, YoRHa Uniform 1, and a new 2B-inspired sailor suit.

If the prospect of unlocking these cosmetics wasn’t exciting enough, Nier Automata’s mysterious merchant Emil also makes an appearance. If you wish to dress up as 2B and A2 however, you’ll need to purchase the DLC for $9.99.

This was revealed on the official Stellar Blade X account where Shift Up confirmed the DLC would be paid. However, the photo mode and costume updates are free for all players to enjoy.

The crossover marks the first paid DLC for Stellar Blade since the game’s launch back on April 26, 20204. Previously, Stellar Blade has given players access to free content updates – all of which have added a plethora of outfits. 

The summer event included a small beach-style area to the Great Desert Oasis, while a boss rush challenge mode was added to give the community a new challenge.
