The first is a set of three paid DLC skins for the heroine, while the second is a free update that includes a new \u201cCombat Trials\u201d mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">PC game available on Steam <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/DollsNest?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#DollsNest<\/a><br>The release of the second DLC, which allows players to change their appearance, has been confirmed.<br><br>The release is scheduled for October 2026.<br><br>check here<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1VTC8TTiXN\">https:\/\/t.co\/1VTC8TTiXN<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0QBCUR6Tiz\">pic.twitter.com\/0QBCUR6Tiz<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Dolls Nest (@Dolls_Nest) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Dolls_Nest\/status\/2100420225460015466?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 17, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting with the paid DLCs, Dolls Nest\u2019s second cosmetic series, titled \u201cExtra Form Data Set Vol. 2,\u201d includes the \u201cMace Manor Guard Humanoid\u201d Set, \u201cPorokka General-Purpose Aviation Humanoid\u201d Set, and \u201cHerros Solo Operation Humanoid.\u201d Each skin will be available separately and as a bundle in October.
