Players can expect more than just costumes in this DLC.
It’s been quite a busy week for Shift Up’s Souls-inspired action RPG, Stellar Blade, with its PC launch just around the corner. Alongside this launch is the release of the much-awaited DLC collaboration with another Shift Up game, Goddess of Victory: NIKKE.
Stellar Blade dropped the newest full trailer for the DLC on Wednesday (21 May) via the game’s official X account. The trailer was also released on PlayStation’s main YouTube channel: The Stellar Blade x Goddess of Victory: NIKKE DLC is set to release on 11 June, 2025.
According to the trailer, the DLC will arrive alongside the PC release.
The DLC will offer more than just NIKKE costumes… and Doro!
The trailer gave a quick preview of some of the upcoming costumes, including Rapi, Anis, Alice, and possibly even another Scarlet variant. Although Dorothy seemed to be absent from the current trailer, she did appear in the previous one.
On top of that, it looks like a mini-game based on NIKKE will be included. In the trailer, Eve is seen hiding behind some debris and shooting at enemies from a fixed position – much like NIKKE’s Shooting Range.
There were even more surprises that seemed to excite fans across the board. In the trailer, Volt (also known as Bolt), Liter’s robotic dog, made an appearance – approaching Eve and giving the main character some affection.
Of course, there also appears to be a new story quest set in a Japanese-inspired meadow, complete with cherry blossoms and bamboo trees. Here, Eve meets Scarlet, with everything seemingly building up to an epic Scarlet vs Eve boss fight.
As the trailer wrapped up, ShiftUp included a hilarious surprise: the appearance of Doro (Dororong), a chibi meme version of Dorothy that originally gained popularity within the South Korean gaming community.
The community reaction–especially from NIKKE fans–has been overwhelmingly positive, with many replying to the tweet with screenshots from the trailer, NIKKE artwork, and plenty of images of Doro.
Aside from the DLC, fans can also look forward to a Stellar Blade sequel, which has been targeted to release before 2027.
