Level Infinite has announced an electrifying lineup of content for the third anniversary of GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE, the award-winning sci-fi shooter RPG that has captivated more than 45 million players worldwide. The upcoming anniversary event brings a brand-new storyline, three new SSR characters, and the introduction of Surface Beta, a large-scale gameplay mode marking the most ambitious battle experience in NIKKE history.
Pilgrims Unite for the Final Battle Against the Rapture Queen
The anniversary event sets the stage for an epic conclusion in the NIKKE universe. The legendary Pilgrim Nikkes, once hailed as humanity’s saviors during the first Rapture invasion, now reunite to confront their most powerful foe yet — the Rapture Queen.
Triggered by the cunning schemes of Liberalio, the Queen descends upon Earth, breaking the delicate balance that has held for years. Nayuta, a member of the Pioneer Squad, must rally her allies and join forces with Eden in one final stand to save the world.
Meet the New SSR NIKKEs
The anniversary update introduces three powerful new characters, each with distinct abilities and lore significance:
- SSR Nayuta (Gacha): A vigilant member of the Pioneer Squad, Nayuta hunts the Queen’s trail using advanced NIMPH duplicates and rides into combat on her camel-like mech, Mantra.
- SSR Liberalio (Gacha): A dangerous Heretic with heightened senses and a personal connection to the Queen, viewing her as a maternal figure. Her mission — eliminate all threats to her “mother.”
- SSR Chime (Free Character): The brilliant yet lively strategist of the Crown. Despite her small stature, Chime’s tactical brilliance and intuition play a key role in sustaining the Crown’s kingdom and guiding the coming battle.
Surface Beta: NIKKE’s Largest-Scale Battle Mode
The highlight of this anniversary is Surface Beta, a completely new large-scale battle mode. Here, players will deploy multiple NIKKE squads to fight waves of Raptures, capture strongholds, and secure vital resources to achieve victory. This marks the most expansive combat experience in the series to date — bringing deeper strategy, larger maps, and nonstop action.
New Skins, Events, and Limited-Time Challenges
To commemorate the third anniversary, Level Infinite is rolling out an impressive set of rewards and themed events, including:
- New Skins: A new gacha costume for Red Hood, plus pass skins for Crown and Siren.
- Pilgrim Re-Pickup Gacha: Players can choose one of three top-tier Pilgrim characters — Modernia, Dorothy, or Red Hood — for a rerun event.
- Limited-Time Challenges: New boss battles, a Union Raid, Solo Raid, and multiple mini-games offering special anniversary rewards.
NIKKE Expands Beyond the Game
The 3rd Anniversary isn’t just happening in-game. NIKKE fans can also take part in real-world celebrations, including:
- Animate Store Pop-Ups in Los Angeles, CA
