Stellar Blade DLC: the NieR:Automata and Nikke collaborations, every pack and price, the free Bayonetta outfits and where story DLC stands
Stellar Blade has four paid DLCs and no story expansion. The two big ones are collaborations at $9.99 each on Steam: Stellar Blade x NieR:Automata, which brings Emil's roaming shop with four Nanosuits for EVE, and Stellar Blade x Goddess of Victory: Nikke, which adds a boss fight against Scarlet, shooting-range mini games and fishing. The $9.99 Deluxe Pack adds Stargazer outfits, and the $0.99 Tachyon Pack adds a Planet Diving Suit and a Fluffy Bear look for the Drone. The $79.99 Complete Edition includes all four. Shift Up is adding four free Bayonetta outfits for EVE on Nov. 5, 2026, on Switch 2, PS5 and PC, and its next Stellar Blade project is a sequel, Blood Rain. Expected price for a story DLC is about $19.99, our estimate.

Stellar Blade has four paid DLCs, led by the NieR:Automata and Goddess of Victory: Nikke collaborations, and no story expansion. Here’s what each pack adds, what it costs, what’s coming free in November and where story DLC stands.
Does Stellar Blade have DLC?
Yes, four paid add-ons, all built around outfits and side content rather than new story chapters. On Steam, the Stellar Blade x NieR:Automata and Stellar Blade x Goddess of Victory: Nikke collaborations cost $9.99 each, the Deluxe Pack costs $9.99 and the Tachyon Pack costs $0.99.

The Complete Edition at $79.99 includes the game and all four DLCs, which cost $90.95 bought separately, so it saves about $11. The standard game costs $59.99. These were the Steam prices on Oct. 19, 2026.
Stellar Blade x NieR:Automata
The NieR:Automata DLC brings Emil’s Shop, the mobile item shop from Square Enix’s action RPG, into Stellar Blade. It roams the Wasteland and the Great Desert, and you pay with Stellar Tears, a currency you find in those two areas.

The shop sells four Nanosuits, one face accessory and three hairstyles for EVE, plus one cosmetic each for Adam, Lily and the Drone. Unlocking them takes both the purchase and progress in the game.
Stellar Blade x Goddess of Victory: Nikke
The Nikke DLC crosses over with Shift Up’s own mobile shooter. Scarlet arrives to challenge EVE in a one-on-one boss fight, and beating Scarlet rewards a new costume, a hairstyle and a song for EVE.
It also adds sci-fi shooting-range mini games, a shop run by Volt, the robot dog from Nikke, with themed outfits and items, and fishing for six collectible Nikke items.
The Deluxe Pack and the Tachyon Pack
The Deluxe Pack upgrades a standard copy with the Stargazer Suit, Half-rim Glasses and Quadruple Rectangle Earrings for EVE, the Stargazer Coat for Lily, Stargazer Wear for Adam, a Stargazer Pack for the Drone, 2,000 SP and 5,000 Gold.

The Tachyon Pack at $0.99 adds a black and gold Planet Diving Suit (Captain) for EVE and the Fluffy Bear Pack for the Drone.
Free content and the Bayonetta outfits
Much of Stellar Blade’s extra content has come free. The PC version launched on June 11, 2025, with a new Boss Challenge against Mann after the first playthrough, 25 new outfits and 9 accessories for EVE and three new music tracks. Patch 1.2.0 on July 2, 2025, opened Hard Mode from the start and added seven arranged tracks, and Patch 1.4.0 on Sept. 24, 2025, added six more, collected as a gift from Enya at The Last Gulp in Xion.
Next comes a Bayonetta collaboration: four new outfits for EVE, free on Switch 2, PS5 and PC from midnight Nov. 6 in Korea, which is 10 a.m. ET on Nov. 5, 2026. Shift Up has shown three of them and is keeping the fourth secret. The same day, the Switch 2 Complete Edition launches for $59.99 with both collaborations and the Stargazer bonuses, as our Stellar Blade on Switch 2 page explains.
Is a Stellar Blade story DLC coming?
Shift Up hasn’t announced story DLC for Stellar Blade. Its next Stellar Blade project is a full sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain, revealed in June 2026 with a new main character, Evie, and no release date, as our Stellar Blade: Blood Rain release date page explains. Expected price for a story DLC, if Shift Up ever makes one: about $19.99, our estimate. For another action game whose studio moved straight to a sequel, see our Black Myth: Wukong DLC page.
This page is updated as soon as Shift Up announces new Stellar Blade DLC or reveals the fourth Bayonetta outfit.
