Humanity Ascends: New Nier: Automata Collab Adds 2B Desktop DLC to Popular Steam App

NieR:Automata's 2B smiles at the camera while standing before a cream background with the Desktop Mate logo.

Developer infiniteloop has confirmed that, following Hatsune Miku, NieR:Automata’s 2B will be next to arrive as paid DLC for the app. The bundle reportedly includes optional Japanese and English voice lines, an occasionally appearing Pod 042, and motion-captured animations performed by Kaori Kawabuchi from the original game.

“The Desktop Mate version of 2B includes many motions that fans of the original game have come to expect,” the announcement’s blog post explains. “Her signature movements have been faithfully reproduced in detail, such as her subtly crossing her legs, sitting facing away, and adjusting her knee-high socks.”

The post adds that “a key feature of this DLC is that her outfit will change after a certain motion, allowing you to enjoy all subsequent motions with the altered costume,” which appears to reference 2B’s tattered appearance following her self-destruct animation.

The Desktop Mate 2B DLC launches on October 9. Pricing hasn’t been announced, though previous crossover packs for the app typically retail for around $16 / £12.

NieR creator Yoko Taro says “I don’t really have any regrets” about his work, but “never felt like I carried out anything completely”
