Epic Shift Up Crossover – Stellar Blade and NIKKE Join Forces in Major June Update

Shift Up has unveiled details of an ambitious crossover between action title Stellar Blade and mobile shooter GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE, scheduled to launch this June.

The collaboration brings significant new content to Stellar Blade in the form of an add-on expansion that introduces Scarlet, one of NIKKE’s most popular characters, as a challenging new boss battle. Players who defeat this formidable opponent will be rewarded with exclusive items for protagonist EVE, including a new costume, hairstyle, and song.

Beyond the marquee boss encounter, the update introduces several NIKKE-themed features to Stellar Blade. Players can test their shooting skills in new sci-fi mini-games and visit a special shop run by NIKKE’s robotic dog companion, Volt. The shop will offer various themed outfits, items, and cosmetics. For those seeking a more relaxed experience, the expansion also adds fishing activities where players can collect six special GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE items.

The crossover was first teased during NIKKE’s 2.5 anniversary livestream, with a preview released in December 2024. Sony’s recent State of Play also featured a DLC trailer showing NIKKE character Rapi experiencing memory flashes while trapped in an unfamiliar location.

This collaboration appears to be bidirectional, with hints suggesting that Stellar Blade’s protagonist EVE may become playable in NIKKE as well, complete with environmental elements from her original game. The update will be included in the upcoming Stellar Blade Complete Edition, which also features a separate boss battle against Mann, the personal bodyguard of Orcal from the main campaign. The Complete Edition will be available for both PS5 and PC platforms.
