More Details to Come Closer to Release
Goddess of Victory: NIKKE has announced through the game’s official social media channels a new crossover, revealing a collaboration with the anime Lycoris Recoil, launching on February 12.
According to a press release, the collaboration will introduce two new playable characters based on the anime’s leads: Chisato Nishikigi and Takina Inoue. Both characters will join NIKKE’s roster as special event units. Shift Up—Goddess of Victory: NIKKE developer—has not yet shared full gameplay details, but confirmed that character kits, event mechanics, and reward information will be revealed in the coming days.
Goddess of Victory: NIKKE, or NIKKE for short, is a cover-based third-person shooter RPG where players assemble squads of up to five android soldiers, known as Nikkes, to battle waves of mechanical enemies. Each unit specializes in different weapon types, from pistols to rocket launchers, allowing for flexible team compositions and combat strategies. The game blends fast-paced shooting with cinematic storytelling and frequent limited-time events.
Introducing Lycoris Recoil
This is not the first time NIKKE has collaborated with anime series, with previous examples including Chainsaw Man and Neon Genesis Evangelion, which brought their popular female casts into the game.
For players unfamiliar with the series and what this collaboration might bring, Lycoris Recoil is an original anime series from A-1 Pictures that follows Chisato Nishikigi and Takina Inoue, teenage operatives known as Lycoris. These agents work for Direct Attack, a covert Japanese organization responsible for maintaining peace and preventing crime.
By day, the pair manages a café; by night, they carry out high-stakes missions to stop threats before they escalate. The series combines action, character-driven storytelling, and lighthearted slice-of-life moments. Its first season is currently available to stream on Crunchyroll.
Fans can look forward to adding Chisato and Takina to their squads, while full details on the event story, character abilities, and rewards will be revealed as the February 12 launch approaches.
