Stellar Blade Switch 2 Trailer Shows Nikke DLC

Stellar Blade Complete Edition Brings Nikke Costumes to Switch 2

Shift Up has released a new trailer for the Stellar Blade Complete Edition on Nintendo Switch 2, highlighting the Goddess of Victory: Nikke collaboration DLC. The trailer showcases cosmetic costumes and other crossover content ahead of the game's launch on 2025-11-05. For NIKKE players, this marks another high-profile crossover for the shooter, following previous collaborations with NieR: Automata and Bayonetta.

The Switch 2 version arrives with the Complete Edition, which bundles the base game and additional content. While the trailer focuses on the Nikke DLC, it also follows a series of recent reveals including Photo Mode, Collectibles, Boss Challenge mode, and environment-focused trailers.

At a Glance

• Stellar Blade Complete Edition launches for Nintendo Switch 2 on 2025-11-05.
• New trailer showcases Nikke collaboration DLC costumes.
• The DLC includes cosmetic items; no gameplay-affecting elements confirmed.
• Previous collaborations: NieR: Automata and Bayonetta.
• Demo available now on Switch 2 eShop.

What the Nikke Collaboration Includes

The trailer, shared by Shift Up, provides a look at the Nikke-themed costumes for Stellar Blade protagonist Eve. These costumes are part of the Complete Edition DLC and appear to be purely cosmetic, allowing players to dress Eve in outfits inspired by popular Nikke characters. Specific character names and costume designs were not detailed in the trailer description, but the crossover is expected to feature iconic Nikke aesthetics.

This collaboration continues Shift Up's strategy of cross-promoting its titles. Stellar Blade previously hosted a NieR: Automata DLC and a Bayonetta collaboration, both of which offered similar cosmetic enhancements. The Nikke DLC is likely to appeal to fans of both games, though it remains to be seen whether any Nikke characters will appear in Stellar Blade or vice versa.

Release Date and Availability

Stellar Blade Complete Edition is set to launch on 2025-11-05 for Nintendo Switch 2. The game is already available on PS5 and PC via Steam. The Switch 2 version includes all previously released content and the new Nikke DLC. A demo is currently available on the Switch 2 eShop, giving players a chance to try the game before launch.

For those looking to catch up on Stellar Blade, our colleagues at EarlyGG have covered the PS5 version and PC port extensively. While this article focuses on the Nikke crossover, players interested in the core game can refer to our NIKKE May–June 2024 update breakdown for a sense of how Shift Up handles crossover events in its gacha title.

What This Means for NIKKE Players

The collaboration is a cosmetic crossover within Stellar Blade, not a NIKKE in-game event. NIKKE players should not expect new characters or banners in the mobile game as a direct result of this DLC. However, it reinforces the shared universe branding between Shift Up's titles and may signal future crossovers.

For NIKKE-specific content, including the recent 4th Anniversary update with Marian: Queen and Scarlet: Goddeath, see our NIKKE 4th Anniversary coverage. That update brought new Pilgrim attackers and a free supporter, and remains the most impactful recent addition to the game.

Unconfirmed — subject to change

Details about the exact costumes included in the Nikke DLC, such as which characters are represented and whether any additional content (e.g., missions or items) is included, have not been fully detailed in official materials. The trailer description mentions "costumes and more," but specifics are not stated in official materials. Players should wait for further announcements from Shift Up.

Conclusion

The Stellar Blade Complete Edition for Switch 2 arrives on 2025-11-05 with a Nikke collaboration DLC that offers cosmetic costumes. While it's not a NIKKE in-game event, it's a notable crossover for fans of Shift Up's work. Switch 2 owners can try the demo now and prepare for the full release later this week.
