As revealed during tonight's PlayStation State of Play, action-RPG Stellar Blade is teaming up with genre icon Nier: Automata in a unique collaboration.
The result of the collaboration is a surprising crossover DLC coming later this year, though its contents remain largely a mystery. The new Stellar Blade trailer shows protagonist Eve transforming into Nier star 2B herself. The scene changes to her standing in front of ruins reminiscent of Automata’s crumbling Amusement Park, with Capsule 042 floating beside her. Not much else of the surprise DLC is shown.
However, that's not the only interesting Stellar Blade news highlighted at today's State of Play event. The game will also have a new photo mode that allows players to create perfect snapshots. From expressions to poses, fans can customize almost everything in this mode to ensure stunning captures. There are various borders and decorations to place, as well as countless filters to choose from.
