  • Released on November 19th and priced at $9.99, the Stellar Blade x NieR:Automata pack features new skins and accessories for Stellar Blade protagonist Eve based on various characters from NieR: Automata, including 2B, A2, and the generic troops who make up the latter game's YoRHa organization.

The article from Bounding Into Comics discusses an Easter egg in the "Stellar Blade" video game that pays homage to Yoko Taro, the creator of "NieR: Automata." This Easter egg is found in the "NieR: Automata" themed DLC for "Stellar Blade," where players can encounter a character named "Yoko Taro" who breaks the fourth wall by directly addressing the player. This character, depicted with a mask and a unique voice, engages in a humorous dialogue, referencing the meta-narrative elements typical of Taro's work. The inclusion of this Easter egg not only celebrates Taro's distinctive storytelling style but also connects "Stellar Blade" to the broader gaming culture that appreciates such playful and self-referential content.
