On June 11th, when the “Goddess of Victory: Nikke” DLC drops for “Stellar Blade”, I’ll have the chance to don outfits in-game inspired by the character Rapi from “Nikke”. What’s even more exciting is that by overcoming a fresh boss battle, I can unlock a brand new outfit, Surface Refugee, for Eve, plus some tunes straight from “Nikke”!

Excitedly, I can’t wait for the day when I step into the shoes of Eve, joining Lily and Raven in our mobile gaming adventure!

On June 12, 2025, a persistent yet blameless being from the 7th Airborne Squad is open for temporary enlistment!

Stellar Blade’s creation, Nikke, is a widely acclaimed gacha game. Similar to other titles by ShiftUp, it frequently features scantily clad robotic women engaged in combat against bizarre and menacing beings amid an apocalyptic backdrop. To put it mildly, the plot isn’t exactly suitable for all ages.

Any further info about the collab will be shared in the upcoming livestream. Make sure to tune in!

In May, Shift Up unveiled the Complete Edition of Stellar Blade, scheduled for release on June 11 on both PC and PlayStation 5. This version boasts 25 new Nano Suits, a fresh boss battle, and voiceovers and facial expressions in Japanese or simplified Chinese for players who prefer those languages. Pre-orders come with several incentives such as Eve’s Classic Round Glasses, the Nier: Automata and Goddess of Victory: Nikke DLCs, and more goodies. PC buyers can access all these perks right away, while PlayStation 5 owners can update their game to reap these numerous advantages if they already own it.

In just four short days since the demo release, I’ve been blown away by the enthusiasm of the Stellar Blade mod community! As expected, we have the standard no-splash screen mods, visual enhancements, optimizers, and a smattering of costumes (including one that gives Eve a cool black nail polish touch). However, there’s one mod that truly sets itself apart from the rest.

That title has now been renamed Project Spirits, and here’s your very first look at its artwork:

Many people have voiced their thoughts on how well the demo performed, and it seems there’s general agreement: the gameplay is incredibly smooth! One Reddit user, Jengaman64, simply put it as playing “smoothly, without any issues at all.” In an era where some big-budget games can run as sluggishly as your grandma’s old car, it’s a delight to find one that runs so effortlessly. The user praised Shift Up, the developer, for this accomplishment, underscoring their ability to produce top-quality games. Players are rightfully praising this optimization, given how many other games today struggle under their own technical burden. By providing a game that runs flawlessly, Stellar Blade serves as a model for others in the industry on what a polished gaming experience should feel like.

You can download the Stellar Blade PC demo on Steam now. According to PlayStation’s official post, this is a 40-minute demo for PC. If you play through it, your saved progress will transfer into the full game when it’s released in about two weeks. On the same day, Stellar Blade will also receive a Goddess of Victory: NIKKE DLC and a Complete Edition release.
