Nikke 2.5 Anniversary: New Chars, Events & Story

- Fresh additions Little Mermaid and Mihara: Bonding Chain joining the roster - Anime Expo will feature an exciting real-world event - NIKKE x Stellar Blade crossover announcement imminent

Just when we thought things couldn't get crazier, Goddess of Victory: Nikke has unleashed a tidal wave of announcements following its explosive 2.5 Anniversary Livestream.

This self-proclaimed "cutie shooter" has already racked up an impressive 45 million downloads since launch - pretty wild for a game that's barely two years old. Mark your calendars for April 24th when the 2.5 Anniversary Update drops, introducing the new recruits Little Mermaid and Mihara: Bonding Chain.

The update isn't just bringing fresh faces - expect dazzling new character skins and an immersive story chapter titled "Unbreakable Sphere" to dive into.

Level Infinite is taking the sci-fi RPG experience beyond the screen with real-world activations. Baseball fans can catch the game's presence at Petco Park during the San Diego Padres vs. Los Angeles Dodgers series from June 9th-11th, with a special in-game baseball event kicking off May 29th for synchronized fun.

July's Anime Expo will feature special appearances from beloved characters, while June will see the highly anticipated NIKKE x Stellar Blade collab unfold.

For those ready to jump into the action, Goddess of Victory: Nikke is available as a free-to-play title with optional in-app purchases on both the App Store and Google Play.
