No further information was given, but the Naraka Bladepoint and NieR crossover is likely the highest-profile one in the game’s history so far.

Earlier this year, a Viper Ning skin was added to Fall Guys, while there have been prior crossovers with Shadow Warrior and The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

NieR, on the other hand, is also no stranger to crossovers. Square Enix and Yoko Taro’s franchise has been seen crossing streams with the likes of Monster Hunter, Dead Cells, and even Rainbow Six: Siege. The game’s most celebrated appearance in another franchise is its inclusion in Final Fantasy XIV.
