The GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE DLC has been waiting for you in Stellar Blade on PS5 and PC since June 12, 2025. Combat, a special store and collectibles are all on the agenda... We've tested it and told you all about it!

Immerse yourself in a sci-fi universe where two heroines clash in a memorable duel... Initially released in April 2024 on PS5, Stellar Blade, hack'n'slash futuristic developed by South Korean studio Shift Up and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, features EVE, a charismatic female fighter, on a mission to reconquer a ravaged Earth. On June 12, 2025, Stellar Blade was enriched by a new free expansion: an official crossover with the mobile game GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE, also designed by Shift Up, now available on PS5 and PC.

Stellar Blade 's dynamic combat and technical third-person sequences will appeal to gamers with its fast-paced gameplay. With the arrival of Scarlet, NIKKE's fearsome heroine, players are invited to take on a never-before-seen duel for exclusive cosmetic rewards, including a haircut, costume and music for EVE.

The additional content also introduces a long-distance shooting mini-game, designed as a playful and competitive interlude to test your reflexes. Players in search of personalization will be able to visit Volt, NIKKE's robotic dog mascot, who now runs a special store featuring new thematic and cosmetic items. The expansion doesn't forget about collecting enthusiasts, with six exclusive items to be picked up... while fishing.

Our review of the Stellar Blade x GODDESS OF VICTORY NIKKE DLC:

So we gave this DLC a try, after discovering the collaboration with nieR: Automata a few months ago... And this new collaboration, with the mobile game GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE, proves to be just as interesting as the previous collaboration. This DLC offers a new quest, taking you across the vast expanses of the Desolate Lands, in search of artifacts. A great opportunity, if you've finished the game, to get back into the swing of things by recombatting some of the enemies you've already encountered.

But the real interest of this DLC is, of course, the shooter part, where you'll have to kill your enemies while taking cover at the right moment. Different maps, different missions... enough to keep you on the edge of your seat for a while yet. A fairly short DLC, too, allowing you to extend the Stellar Blade universe, and that's just as well. So if you want to give it a try, you're welcome to do so.
